cactanna:

This is a Stapelia scitula! Stapelia/Huernia and related genera are known for their alien-like flowers that smell like rot and decay. They’re pollinated by flies who are attracted to the smell. This particular specimen has its own special corner of the greenhouse when it flowers.

syngoniums:

Bryophyllum fedtschenkoi ‘Marginata’ (left) and ‘Aurora Borealis’. They’re usually sold as Kalanchoe, and there seems to be some confusion regarding cultivar names too. These guys go semi-dormant in the heat of our summers and rebound in the fall. Cooler weather later in the season brings out pink and lavender tones.

Aloe ‘Blizzard’ and Aloe ‘Snowstorm’ because I guess I’m getting into Aloes now

So you like begonias and beer, you’re interested in plant breeding, your escape fantasy is a cottage in the woods, and now you’re getting into aloes… you won’t even have to tell me when you start trying to grow tropicals outdoors and peppers from seed because we’ll be the same person at that point.

I’m plannin on saving some of my ornamental pepper seeds for next year if that counts?
