This is the first time EVER this adenium flower, I’m so excited as the plants are actually in the garden in a bed rather than a pot where I usually have them.

I really hope they will also flourish.

I got a few of these as a generous gift by Dr. Jean who raised them from seed! A venerable feat to be sure.

Have a lovely weekend my friends.

I’m not that of a fanatic when it comes to pomegranates, I do like them sometimes, but when it comes from your own garden the story is completely different of course!

Even when the thing is more sour than a lemon, it does taste delicious. At least the first few handfuls and then your eyes start blinking rather rapidly!

I like the pictures though. Have a wonderful Friday and weekend my friends.

A wonderful cactus in full bloom at The Garden Nursery in Barbar.

With the soup of a dust storm outside (thanks to Iraq for this gift!) you’d better stay inside and watch TV or cruise some sites.

Have a wonderful Friday my friends, I hope tomorrow will be a better day, weather-wise.

update: Anne just corrected me and told me that this plant is not actually the “Night Flowering Cactus” but actually the Mammallaria, which is just as nice to my eyes! Thanks for the correction Anne.
