M's Green World: August 2012

http://botanicaleleganza.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 6, 2012. Gettin' stoney with lithops and goin' green with Ecoforms. I have finally mastered the art of growing living stones, after a few false starts. Here are my lithops, and a couple other weird succulents, on a hot august day. Are bizarre little succulents that hail from the deserts of Africa. They have evolved to mimic rocks, which prevents them from being eaten by animals. In cultivation, Lithops. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Plants Are The Strangest People. View my complete profile.

M's Green World: May 2012

http://botanicaleleganza.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 8, 2012. This tank was an impulse buy at my recent visit to the New York Reptile Expo in White Plains, NY. I couldn't pass up the $45 dollar price for such a good looking piece. Not knowing what to do with it, I took it home. Here are some photos of the project as it progressed. It's fun and easy to work with a smaller container like this. The acrylic is very light, so it's easy to move the tank around as you work. Other future plans include the possibility of adding an automated mister syst...

M's Green World: Monkey see, monkey get pricked by sharp leaves

http://botanicaleleganza.blogspot.com/2012/06/monkey-see-monkey-get-pricked-by-sharp.html

Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Monkey see, monkey get pricked by sharp leaves. Check out these Monkey Puzzle trees on the patio at the new visitor center at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The matching of the bold, monolithic planters with the architectural tree shapes is very impressive. But don't touch! The little leaves are like sharp spines.

M's Green World: April 2013

http://botanicaleleganza.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 11, 2013. Sweet little slipper orchid. This is paphiopedilum delenatii. The all white version, on my dresser, under my T5 grow lights. This delightful, compact slipper orchid exudes a slightly sweet fragrance. I'm enamored by the combination of the delicate flower, reminiscent of the rare North American woodland orchids, against the dark, mottled foliage. If you are a fan of orchids, this year's show at NYBG is not to be missed. More to come on that! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
