Just picked and ate my first habanero of the year. Small but packed a kick and the flavour was superb. Probably the best tasting chilli I typically grow.

The century plant is finally in full bloom. The bees and orioles love the nectar.

Brought a couple new house plants (or outdoors in pots during summer) home from my Seattle visit

These were grown from trimmings of a 30-40 year old jade plant

Joshua Tree’s and other more tender stuff back in the greenhouse until April. Cold and wet North West England weather sucks.

Figpocalypse begins

@GraemeE Nice! Ours are still too green to catch, maybe next month.

@ÆRϺΔΚ pacific northwest climate was optimal this year apparently

Very strong winds over the last days are bringing down most of this year’s yet unripe mango fruit. Guaranteeing local scarcity come November-December when fully ripe.

One of the commonest and hardier local orchids around here, Jitabay is the indigenous name (Cyrtopodium punctatum).
This one is at my brother’s house. Puts out massive floral bursts. Always a joy to see at full bloom.
