Sounds like Spring shopping is kicking off. I'm jealous! I haven't done a thing in regards to my yard. I just haven't had a moment's time to get to the store and do some shopping for new plants. Been busy shopping for other stuff my husband claims we 'need' or 'have to have so things in the house work'. What-ev-er!
Anyhow.......plan on shopping the end of this month for plants and goodies and getting out in the yard in earnest. Did get out and watered yesterday and took some photos today. Have a few blooms going on and lots of new growth.
Oh also got a case of what I call 'the floppies'. What causes this? For some reason both the pine cone cacti and this one particular p.pear have gone 'floppy' and won't stay upright. Some days are better than others. Not rotten, not over or under watered. No problems. They just kind of do this. Does anyone know why? Also what kind of p.pear is this?
mystery floppy p.pear and close up of new growth on it.
