Without seeing details of flowers...rather impossible to say for certain what species, or more likely hybrid, this will be, and may not be possible then either. A LOT of the Petiolaris group, especially with all the undescribed taxa still present, are very similar to each other and they can all...

Seeds were cheap and easy to get ahold of (especially in a seed exchange), and part of the fun is growing up the plants to enjoy later. I've got a lot of various fruit trees that will produce in the interim if they keep growing at their current rates, so I can be patient with lots of other...

Never been in range of actual blue racers, they're an upper Midwest animal (Michigan, Wisconsin etc.). Other subspecies can have blue tints occasionally, but primarily sport other colors.

I have 3 seedlings that have been slowly germinating all summer, and finally starting to show leaves...been a species I've wanted to grow for a long time.

Iris dichotoma (2 forms), x norrisii, giganticaerulea, lactea "Kazakhstan"...among the varieties that I have spilling out of my trays that I won't be keeping (I've already selected the ones that stay) Iris extras by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Awaiting the ripening of a homemade ornamental pepper...

I think I'm waiting on fall pitchers for a real show again (must set up hail net for next year...), but there've been a fair few things looking nice in the pool S. ('Leah Wilkerson' x oreophila) x "Bengal Tiger" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr This one of course always seems to look nice S...

Iris domestica by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

Get it hotter. mirabilis in general is a very lowland plant, echinostoma ultra-lowland and likes it hot, very humid, and rather wet. And it's finicky and slower than standard mirabilis, three weeks is barely any time to actually assess how the plant is settling let alone expecting it to restart...

You'll only ever see those too if you look solely in the Tuscon area, the whole valley east to San Simon is the intergrade zone. You only get pure deserts once you get near the Santa Ritas or southeast of the mountain ridge they're part of, pure Californias north or west within the greater Gila...

So that was your photo I saw in the FB reptile group...and you live in the transition area between California and Desert kings clearly, a snake I was hoping to see last week but missed out on. Got pure deserts further south.

I also have one locality of what's supposed to be the true lanata (though apparently debatable depending on if you believe it's a Queensland endemic or not) and definitely different. One species I am not having reliable luck with yet: the ordensis/aff.ordensis group. Had a couple rot for reasons...

Latest, and a particularly painful challenge: my primary Darlingtonia has decided to rot from the rhizome, and I have no idea what's causing it (same cool conditions it's been in for 3 years now and it's sitting right across from N. rajah, ephippiata etc.). I thought I'd finally cracked that one...
