A few new addition to the garden These were from theuserformallyknownasd00d. Potted up and enjoying life. I really wish i didnt loose the tags for these seed grown ones. They were looking really sad in the soil they were in but they have been coming back to life since i changed to ziolite only astro caput medusae Ive started to collect cymbidiums recently. The flowers on these are spectacular. I cant wait until mine flower. A couple of plants that i brought at a nursery Three finger limes this year My first rebutia flower Edit. Added some plant names

I get some pretty beetles at this time of year.

Let's see how you are helping nature in your own back yard! How have your gardening efforts paid off by attracting all creatures great and small back to your little patch of paradise. Birds, insects, frogs,lizards, spiders... I wanna see them all! Show us the fruits of your labor eco-minded Sabsters I'll go first

I would like to take you for a walk around my small garden. It has slowly build up over the years and will continue to grow into the distant future. I have started most of my plants from seed or small cutting, give or take a few trades and purchases Ss hybrid seeds i got from amozonion, plus a few randoms Except for the crest incognito gifted me the trichos. Native finger lime is flowering Lophophora Defenders of the veggie patch. Well sort of Blue corn from hillbilly Caapi Gold from doublebenno, staghorn,tasmanian mountain peppers m/f, Brazilian grape tree, tamarillo and some azaleas that will get the chop and trained as bonsai once their flowers drop Some future bonsai and a Adriatic fig Fruit trees Lemon/lime, blueberries, peaches, apricots and grapes Hamiltons crest? Got from bunnings years ago Sarracenia olive's pod giveaway seeds in takeaway nepenthes Grafted superkabuto Edit. Removed a double pic. Added some more txt to pics

heres some pics of an absolutely HUGE crested nudum that a very nice person has allowed me to 'borrow' for a while. many my good friend. innit she a fukn doozy. shocking!! i am still gobsmacked at the size of it, I've some old moles, but no astros as big as this one. as she has been flowering i have so far crossed it with an asterias that has flowered many more other astros here will have flowers open in the next few weeks as this oooge crested nudum continues to flower she will be crossed with lots of astros........... should make for some interesting seeds if all goes well.

Since it's nearly Christmas... Also, FP, dude, I think your cat is plotting something:

Huaraz Crestata here is a pic my friend shared. it was a crest collected in Huaraz, the capital city of Ancash Province in Peru. used with permission

A few more pictures from around my garden. A pic i took earlier this spring. The pot also has orange pigface mixed in but the two never flower together. Random container Psycho0 Datura metel Purple queen. I have just repotted these last week. Some are recovering better than others Burnt orange brugmansia and also anther brugs that i got from a market. It hasn't flowered yet so im unsure of its flower colour. Both planted in the ground last week.

Not from the back yard.... from my 6 year olds hair... nits they are such a pain in the ass to get rid of.

Dont cha love it when you start to see bees in the garden again!

^ what a beauty this little rascal has been keeping the birds on their toes, so no birdie pics from me the humble honeybee, now a rare sight in many gardens

"...look daddy the stick moved..." lol

Well I may not have the awesome larger animals but I love all my tiny critters just the same. Still getting plenty of mileage out of this frog. I didn't even know he was in my first couple shots.

i got reasonable big trees in my garden, and they attract a lot of birds. pic shows a pheasant bird, hideing underneath a ephedra major, this bird always runs from hiding place to hiding place, funny to watch. nice thread!

went outside for a bunger and a wander....noticed this lil fella having a break too.

Here's one I'm proud of. I always wanted to attract these fellas into the garden, and just 2 nights ago I finally found one. I reckon this one has found a little home under the aloeveras and Epiphyllums. So happy!

'Ogunbodede's Matucana' in the middle, Huarazensis on the right (sorry for the double post)

Well I have an interested in photography as some of you know, so I thought I might share some of my recent pics with you. Would be nice to hear what you guys think --- update --- Hey everyone, here is my new web pages Creative http://darkspaces.com.au/ Doof Pics www.facebook.com/RonnySimulacrum

It's complicated. The heroin enthusiasts who hang out in the park on my street and jeer at and verbally abuse pretty much everyone who passes by? No, fuck those guys, they're jerks. They're old and bitter and just seem to want to hurt anything that gets near. The heroin enthusiasts who offered their bupe to me when I was in bad pain after discount surgery? Hell yes, they're good people and I try to help them them out anytime I can. I grew up with an addict brother and that bit in 'Just One Fix' by Ministry where Burroughs drones 'Never trust a junkyyyy' was my life motto. I've come round since then because I really think anyone can mess up a bit and end up with a substance abuse problem. Acting like it's the end of the world and you're now permanently a fucking pariah doesn't seem to help anyone, or society as far as I can see. I have trusted 'junkies' and my life is better for it. People are people, you don't stop being a person just because you messed up and got into some bad patterns.

became a moss boss .. ...trial ran a possible next "virola nut tek" on some random psychotria i think in the meantime just to stay in good practice and high spirits.. tried introducing some new nature into the RFB along with the mosses.. had 3 caupuri sprouts on the 'old toad/Tlalocan'.. found a nice little caapi leaf cutting doing a viridis on me in the paqarena (aeropod)... and a nice successful viridis leaf cutting in there too..

TCM#1 / kada's garden / looks like Smiths "short spined peruvianus" (wrong name), and propably CCC and altmans clone too. ^^^^^^ my most prized specimen. I expect it to flower at some point soon, and I assure you I designed it to be so beautiful - and well maybe I was a bit lucky since the column hasn't yet terminated, currently it is reverting to monstrosa growth a period when column growth speed reduces dramatically . ^^^^^^^ new surprisingly long spines in older growth (well not surprisingly, its a pachanoi, no?) in another specimen. main column has terminated. one of the pups seems to have pupped - not sure why, but propably not damage. PS: ALL TPM#1 's I am showing in this thread come from a single clone (kada's garden,)

myrio of my dreams [/url]

I got lucky again this morning. I was taking pics of a blue ginger flower when along comes this HUGE native Bee, right in front of the lens. Turns out it's called a Teddy-Bear bee. He posed for a couple quick shots and then got really pissed off with me moving in on his territory. He seemed to really like these flowers a lot, they are not native but we do have closely related native plants such as Pollia macrophylla and Murdannia graminea, so I guess they are playing a positive role. It's certainly the first time I've ever seen one of these Teddy-Bear bees in our garden, so I'm super chuffed about it
