86K This Azureocereus Hertlingianus probably won't flower in my lifetime. It's currently around two feet tall, but would have to be closer to six feet tall to be mature enough to flower. (It grows about one inch a year. Do the math. I'd be around 100 years old by the time it's over six feet tall.) Even without flowering, this cactus is impressive. Actually, the skin is not blue. It's green like most cacti. This cactus produces a fine, talc-like powder called a farina that gives it a sky blue, matte surface.

103K Acer Palmatum "Higasayama" is one of the first Japanese Maples I got in trade with a friend. He got Bamboo in return. Japanese Maples are most beautiful when the leaves emerge in the Spring. Over time, sunlight fades the coloration of the leaves.

47K Look closely. There are three Praying Mantis infants on this maple leaf.

107K Hebomoia Glaucippe Detani.
