Romneya coulteri in the Napa Valley. Is that where we are? It is! Whippet too.
Just off San Pablo Ave. Aeonium atropurpureum and Aloe ciliaris, together in one tidy planter. At least until the Aloe starts climbing 4 or 5 feet up the window.
It seems to be a military pin. Borrowed without permission. If Keith asks me to take this down, what will we do? And an explanation is here.
Have you ever looked closely at the Mexican flag? The crest in the center has a cactus, with an eagle and snake or something sitting on it. Judging by the flowers and the shape of the pads, I’m...
Numerous barrel cacti bloom around this time of year. For instance, take as an example, this here one: Echinocactus grusonii and this one here too Ferocactus glaucescens but mostly I recommend you ta...
Tom sends this from New Orleans.
From bloglet. And don’t miss the cactus from the San Diego Zoo that also needs to be weeded. I always see the weeds poking out between the spines on those golden barrels.
So here we have the perfect example of our own sheer madness. It’s a Polar Bear Salt Shaker SnoGlobe from Gamago that we’ve gone ahead and turned into a Terrarium. That’s nuts. I do...
My favorite internet radio station and a cactus in one slick instagrammed photo. It’s a random tumblr photo of the day! And no I don’t know who that is.
From sitting-looking, who took the picture from a Harpers from 1897. That’s awhile ago. I see prickly pear cactus and bicycles, a standard combination for men with guns back in the 19th century.
Echinocereus purpureus, although the recently out-of-print The Cactus Family (Anderson) says its more recently changed to the corrected E. reichenbachii ssp. reichenbachii, but we also grow E. reiche...
Not only do we have lots of mixed color Monkeyflowers, but we also have mixed Yarrows. This red is probably Achillea “Paprika”. These are all in the California Native section of the nurse...
You can find pictures of blooming Tanacetum densums all over the interwebs, in landscapes showing what a great groundcover it is with the little yellow ball flowers. Not here. Here you get this odd p...
The latest from the fine folks at Gamago – we’re now carrying their LED Light in the shape of a Crane. An origami crane! I know how to make that out of paper! Gum-wrappers! Anything. But ...

Mestoklema tuberosum is a caudiciform mesemb with adorable orange flowers and spider-web-covered leaves right now. What’s not to like? I know it’s expensive but it’s totally worth i...
Wow, those are some beautiful lithops at Lithops Stories.
Delosperma “Lavender Ice” is much nicer than the last ice plant I blogged. In fact, it’s the nicest ice plant I’ve ever blogged. At least until I get to “Fire Spinner...
Luther from Oregon Cactus Blog captured a variegated Euphorbia milii on film. That’s some strong variegation. No subtleties at all.
The first Romneya coulteri bloom of the year! Now this is exciting news.
Monkeyflowers are some very productive N. California Native bloomers, as you can see right here. 8th Street, Berkeley. I’m guessing Mimulus “Eleanor” though possibly it’s M. &...
They’re so waxy and all… Plants are the Strangest People has some Hoya bella flowers going right now. Some scent, not too much. Nice!
We now carry handmade ceramics, made right around the corner here in the industrial neighborhoods of Berkeley, from Jennifer Fisher. Here we see that we’ve potted up one for you already. And th...
Sometimes people are so quick to send us a question they forget to tell us who they are, or where they are. In general, it’s always nice to see a question signed by a person so we know it’...
Lisa posted this photo of Obama in the Salamander Terrarium on our Facebook page. Nice! We’re currently out of Obamas, but should have them back in stock in the summer.

The first of our many new Delosperma cultivars to bloom this spring is… “Starburst”! Eh.
This looks like an ad, but I don’t know what it’s using the Euphorbia tirucallii to advertise. The lampshade? Chair? Pot? Elephant? Who knows! That’s what I love about the internet,...
There’s an artichoke in our neighborhood that’s growing into a tree. They’ve been pruning it up and now it has a trunk and everything. The flower heads are small since this plant ha...
