#Spring indoors as well as out! #WindowsillWednesday with Weingartia #Cactus
#BloomScrolling #Florespondence #houseplants #IndoorGardening #Photography

Looking not quite directly from the top at a small cactus- semi-globular to barrel shaped, a few fingers across the top. It has many narrow ribs each with many 'chins', each capped with an aereole with a small bit of wool and a handful of golden to darker spines, some erect, some flatter against the body. In the front centre and to the right are two small bright golden yellow flowers held just a little above the plant. Each flower has many closely spaced petals, rising in a small tube then recurving, outward.The centre holds many tiny pale pollen bearing stamens curving inward toward the stigma.

1)Some blab, videos + photos of a couple of tropical plants that I had to rescue- from me! I had a bit too much to say about soils, watering, etc, so I made a blog post with the 2 videos + a bonus vid of a flowering cactus.
I'm testing Wordpress, so I posted the same thing there and at blogger. The videos are on YouTube, Spectra links in replies.

Close up of Murdannia loriformis Bright Star flower- it is a tiny very slightly pink white flower with 3 petals and a couple of sepals showing behind. It has several brown and white stamens and a single simple pistil and a yellow structure kind of like a floppy rubber glove-- no idea, unless that is the stigma and the white thing I called pistil is a stamen that lost its pollen? below that is a mass of fuzzy fine white hairs.

Semi close view of backlit leaves of Peperomia albovittata Piccolo Banda. From this direction, in this light, the almost heart-shaped leaves appear medium green with blood red venation. At this stage of growth, the leaves are coming nearly from the soil with very little stem.

Murdannia loriformis Bright Star a small plant with strap shaped leaves that taper to a point, a bit wider in middle. they are a medium slightly yellow-green with a wide band across the centre of silver-grey-green. Leaves come from a central rosette with a short stem and new rosettes come from the base. It has a delicate branched flowering stem with one tiny open white flower and a number of buds. Around the base of the plant are tiny green leaves with red reverse, the sprawling stems of Peperomia verticillata. Most of the plant is in shade, with a shaft of sunlight hitting the foremost leaf in the centre, and the open flower.

Lietus Mate / Rain Mother + Perkuns / Storm God blessed us last night/this morning with some welcome moisture. Not as dry as some areas, we had several decent rains in May, last over 1 week ago. This should be the start of our rainy time, but the next week looks like a return to above avge warmth and dry conditions.
More rain starting as I type, meanwhile a view from the #Indoorgarden yesterday a late #WindowsillWednesday early #FensterFreitag ? #cactus #ThursdayVibes! #animist #Latvian #heathen

many petalled deep yellow flower with mass of yellow stamens in centre, against mostly blurry spiny background

Deep yellow flower held tight against the side body of a cylindrical upright cactus covered in dense red brown to tan to grey spines, a bit of green epidermis showing through on top

This is my hot pink Phalaenopsis orchid. It’s been getting ready to bloom since January. I finally am here during the day, and remembered to take some pics.

I've worked at the Science and Industry Museum for 19 years and today was the first time I noticed this stamped onto a windowsill in the 1830 Warehouse.

A stained wooden windowsill or window ledge in the Grade I listed 1830 Warehouse at the Science and Industry Museum, Manchester. The ledge is stamped "MSI.1993", which is the date the warehouse was renovated.

@SudoNaaame a #wednesday #! #WindowsillWednesday just a couple of quick shots of a small part of my indoor garden, late morning winter light.. I didn't groom for this, or turn plants for best views.. most need some attention, as you can see..lol-- I've been mostly pre-occupied with outdoor gardens and other things in recent years!

plant details in replies

a bunch of cacti in smallish pots on a windowsill.. outside is snow, bluish in shade, a little sun is hitting the plants inside

several small cacti in pots lean towards the window, the view outside is cold, blue shadowed snow; morning sun shines through the spines, and little plastic ghost dances in one pot

@SudoNaaame @plants
not sure if this post will go where I want it to...lol intended as a post, not dm, what did I achieve?
-anyway, I saw Sudo's post about houseplant day/themed # but couldn't reply directly..
