Flowering Kalanchoe

I took this photo of what looks like a Kalanchoe daigremontiana aka Mother-of-thousands about a month ago in Austin, Texas.

I have one of these growing indoors in a pot. This warm climate native would never survive our cold Toronto winters. Or rather, I should say that I have thousands growing indoors in a pot since anyone who has grown this extremely drought-resilient succulent plant knows how apt the common name really is. Each serrated leaf is lined in several tiny plantlets, which eventually drop off and take root wherever they can. I’ve found them trying to grow into the carpet!

Tomato Seedlings

I took this photo while visiting a gorgeous greenhouse last month in Austin, Texas. My own little tomato plants aren’t quite this big but have reached the two sets of true leaves mark and are starting to smell wonderful.
