and here's two wonders of gardening.
The possibilities of discoveries , while in
the w i l d s o f a n urbane urban garden.
Look at that face, it looks like it wants to be discovered. That primary leaf is a stranger
among others and wait till it gets it's notable belly on, that will take many years to appear
and guess what, that belly requires no beer.
This little 'Buddha Belly' is one of only four self seedings in as many as nearly forty years.
This one may have found it's forever home right here where it sprouted amongst these native
boulders.
These native Coonties, planted directly in the ground and with out the time consuming
fruit peeling of the flesh away from it's large seed. The germination rate as not as well
as the peeled ones, along with some other varying factors make the flesh striping
unnecessary.
These here will get the transplant treatment and see if it they can catch up with the other
Coontie seedlings planted earlier, no pressure!
After days and days of light rain, our mini monsoon did it' s magic on this rescued log teaming
with Resurrection Fern and off to the right is a teenage Buddha Belly plant with well documented
belly, that was one of four seeds that escaped the squirrels and or what ever foraging fauna there
might have been.
Here is the Resurrection Fern's typical face that it shows the world that was taken just moments
ago and looks like it was camouflaging a dead branch of rat tail cactus that needs to be replaced with
another sacrifice.
Perhaps some extra needed moisture is called for this succulent cutting to take hold in an otherwise
hostile environment, but not to the other succulents and orchid.
