Lots of flowers blooming in the succulent garden today. The Rebutia or Crown Cactus I thought had died but it’s fabulous crown is back. Confused by the others as I thought one was a Christmas Cactus, but here we are with flowers! #flowers #cactus #FlowersOfMastodon #succulent

Any cactus experts out there in socials land? Are these lighter green blobs just more growth or are they the first sign of buds?

can we please take a moment to appreciate this tiny fish hook barrel cactus (Ferocactus wislizeni) who is spectacularly over-achieving on the length of her fish hooks

Bee, unable to believe its luck Moonlight cactus flowering (Selenicereus undatus) The curtain of anthers going deep into the flower is a remarkable sight (and almost impossible to focus stack). Closeup of the bee in thread. #photography #macro #MacroMonday #insects #flowers #cactus #EastCoastKin

I decided that I wasn't brave enough to re-pot the ancient aspidistra just yet, but DID upgrade a few other plants to larger homes. Sadly, every time I look at the jaunty angle of this re-homed cactus, my mind sinks straight into the gutter. Whoops.

This little guy has a strange brown line and looks like he's dying. What do I do?

Claret Cup Cactus
El Malpais National Monument, NM

This is my first CR2 RAW photo processed entirely using RawTherapee and GIMP, versions 5 and 3, respectively on macOS.
Minimal processing as I'm just learning the apps. I still have been unsuccessful in connecting between the two apps to automatically pass the photo between so had to go RT>tiff>GIMP.

Ok, so I know about #BloomScrolling and #Florespondence for posting blossoming plants, #Mosstodon for pictures of moss and #SavageGarden for carnivorous plants. But what's the punny hashtag for all the plants who rarely/never bloom (unless they are in their natural environment)? Where are all the fans of succulents, cacti, ficus trees and tropical plants posting their photos?
