Butterwort (pinguicula gigantea)
This species of tropical butterwort is native to Mexico, so it’s dormancy is triggered by dry winter conditions rather than temperature or light.

Mexican lime cactus / Mexican fire barrel
(Ferocactus pilosus)Those spines tho…❤️🌵❤️
Red fairy duster / Baja fairy duster (calliandra californica)
Magical little puffs! Interestingly, the leaves, rather than the flowers close at night.
Mislabeled as: String of buttons (crassula perforata)
What I suspect it is: String of pearls (senecio rowleyanus)
I’m pretty sure the local botanical gardens incorrectly labeled this plant. I had suspicions when I read “crassula” on the label, because this looks nothing like a crassula. Maybe I’m wrong, but either way it’s a beautiful plant!
Yup definitely a mislabel- COME ON BOTANICAL GARDEN THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING A BOTANICAL GARDEN IS ZE SMARTS.
