Petal number, color, shape, stamen number, length, spread, sepal color, etc.

(pink on the right is a shidare/weeping variety)

I have 4 inside. Just regular nursery plants I bought this spring that I put in bonsai pots because I could. I have been cutting them back and they backbud well and just want to bloom all of the time. I did have a nice one from Zach Smith, but I lost it last winter for some reason not determined. But I do have a cutting from that tree and that is what the last picture is from.

So happy to see this one blooming. I've been battling mealy bugs on my office orchids for months. I finally applied a systemic and believe I am winning the battle.

Even in the harshest places you can find something beautiful, and even the called "weeds" can be pretty, like this Convolvulus althaeoides:

Another Aeonium

I have never seen pink bindweed before! Only ever in white, as a child my aunts house backed onto fields and woodland and there was white bindweed everywhere. She would always remind me that it was a weed and a pest when tasked to help clear it but I always thought it was the most pretty of weeds!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolvulus_arvensis convolvulus arvensis should be native near you this has pink flowers and grows in crack in the pavement, lawns and flower beds in my area. The plant @Arnold showed has a really nice purple ish color
though. photo below is C arvensis (stolen from the net)

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Yes, C. arvensis usually haves white flowers , C. althaeoides with the purple flowers I think only grows in the mediterranean basin and here in the canaries

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Kalanchoe

Crassula multicava "red"

 

[Mapleminx]

I’m not usually one for Orchids but I bought this one for the office today.


And an interesting colored Anthurium because I was feeling more than a little physically and emotionally drained and needed more cheap plant therapy.

This Phal turned out to be a set piece!
