Always good to look back at what you did right & what you did wrong.😳

An early blast of arctic air has pushed temps way below seasonal in southern Ontario. Not cool.🥶 This is when I move all my cacti to a bright but chilly part of the house & pull back on the watering. Remember that even cacti experience winter in their natural habitat. (It's just not as cold & damp as ours.)

Um. Not sure what to say. Too soon. Feeling kinda’ spikey like this guy right now. In Sudan the crushed stems of Euphorbia polyacanthaare applied to scorpion stings.😳

Perfect pairing of a showy begonia with a glazed stump pot.💚💛💚 This plant likes to dry out between waterings & indoors appreciates filtered, bright sunlight. Begonia soli-mutata (Sun-changing begonia) is native to Brazil & toxic to pets. Stays small unlike most of its cousins.

Late summer/early fall is when a lot of succulents have gathered enough sunshine to finally bloom!☀️☀️ My specimen stapelia hirsuta is about to put on a show. I wonder what colour the inside petals are going to be. Any guesses?🤔🤫

Another batch of plump Graptopetalum pachyphyllum (Bluebean) is prepped for delivery.😃 These ceramic sleeves in matte pumpkin finish are windowsill candy. The official end of summer doesn’t mean the end of summer. Succulents in particular LOVE this time of year. Halt watering & watch for new colouration! We’re still getting enough hours of sunlight to support strong growth.🌞

Another specimen from my personal collection.😘 Bright sun
brings out the pink tips.🩷 I have a filter but this picture of Euphorbia lactea ‘White Ghost’ doesn’t. Vintage Chinese bonsai pot.

Finally got my hands on wishlist plant Tephrocactus geometricus.😋 Spherical & sophisticated, I’ve been hunting for one of these for over 10 years. (How can such a small plant make me so happy!😍) Argentina is where this gem comes from. In habitat this species grows in a very dry environment on rocky soil. Needs to be kept cool in winter & tolerates light frost. Housed in a contemporary pot with a top dressing of akadama, this living sculpture from my personal collection is very special.

Euphorbia pseudoglobosa, Monadenium ritchiei,
Echinopsis lageniformisin. Succulents are the easiest of my plant children to care for in hot, dry weather like this. Natural rainfall is generally enough to keep them happy. Warty & wonderful, notice how the mint tones in the pottery glaze intensifies the grey/green foliage of these very sculptural plants.

(Displaying some collectible succulents from my personal collection this summer!😘🌞) Native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa, Euphorbia polygona grows socially on quartzite fields. The ‘Snowflake’ cultivar is identified by its white, waxy skin. Homed in a vintage Chinese bonsai pot, my little snowflake enjoys a sunny but protected position outdoors all summer with all of his crazy cousins. (Soil & water needs the same as any old succulent.)
