Bird seed bag recycle project
I just came across this idea...and boy is it a good one...so colorful and I don't know about you, but I NEED to store my wrapping paper somewhere!!! Check it out here, at Thrifty Fun Bird Seed Bag Project.
Scarlet Kleinia (Senecio fulgens)
I am so happy to have found this little succulent beauty in flower, over at the college! Why? Beacause of it's orange blooms! My most favorite color...and this is such a lovely shade, don't you think???
I have never seen this for sale at big box stores, so I consider it a real privledge to have it here at the college. I may ask the lady who runs the garden area if I can have a cutting...(she has given me a few in the past from different plants).
It has spread quite a bit since last year. It has a real fun way about it, I think...kind of sprawling and free.
According to Desert Tropicals, Kleinia is a genus of about 40 species that were previously included in the genus Senecio. They have been separated in the eighties based on microscopic differences in the flower structures. This work is still somewhat controversial, although supported by most botanists specialized in the group. If you click on the link, you can see other varieties of Senecio!

Rose bush amazement!
Over at the local college I found so many beautiful things to show you! Over the next few days I will post some new stuff that is stupendous to see! These giant (there were two along the roadway) rose bushes are just filled with wonderfully sweet smelling beauties!!! I have no earthly idea what kind they are but the actual bushes are about 8 ft. high and probably 8 ft. wide as well!! They are showstopping!!!

Succulent hayday...a few shots in random order from my screenroom.
Something possessed me to take a few pics today of some of my little cuties...I have taken to giving them people names because I am too lazy to keep memorizing all those botanical names...I am so bad. I do hope you can enjoy just having a look at them. Of course, if anyone needs a botanical name, just let me know, and I'm sure I can find it for you! If you want to see anything closer-up, just click on it. Why are succulents so appealing/artistic? They are just plain old happiness generators! ENJOY!!!
