My neighbor and I have watched a blooming agave on a corner in our neighborhood. We have enjoyed the beauty and drama. Now we know what to expect so we can plant a little agave baby.
Thank you!

Hey, we’re still waiting on that next post! Regardless, I love the Dyckia shot and can’t wait til mine gets that big. Wait, that ain’t right.

Thanks for that tour. I just love blooming aloes-my “big aloes” are way to young to have those candelabra blooms yet but at least for now I can enjoy A maculata, A vera and the small aloe blooms.

Simply beautiful! You are so lucky to live in proximity to such a gem! I find it hard to get away from my garden in the summer. What’s Pasadena like in the winter?

Wow, this is one cool greenhouse. Never seen one like this before. Really have done a good job there, finally ending the unhealthy canned food eating habits for good. “Sunshine” was one of the best movies I have seen. I never knew about hydroponics before and I was like, “What? You can grow plants in outerspace?”. Now I know that it is possible. No cold winter months or having zero gravity can stop you from growing anything you want.

I’m so thankful I found this post because this is exactly what I found in my garden this past week! How I’d you get rid of the problem? Are my vegetables all ruined now because of them? I threw the lettuce away that was directly next to these nasty things, but not sure I trust it….

From the link. it appears that they are at least edible in the egg stage. thing is, do they stink while in that stage?
I’ve come across stinkhorns in the yard of my condo complex. and I have never ever had one that smelled to me.
thing is, even if they were tasty in the egg stage. they would not be edible due to the amount of poison the yard dudes put on the commons here.

I have to get to Huntington at some point. I love the combination of the mounds. That dyckia is amazing.
