I found these living in the media of my Angraecum longicalcar a while ago. They would emerge and crawl around for a bit shortly after the plant was watered then retreat into the media. I picked off...

That's a great looking cactus! It reminds me of this one in the Huntington Library's desert garden. Sounds like it's probably Trichocereus as well now, though the label is still Echinopsis (Flying...

I can't answer for them, but I also picked up one labeled pandurata last year. The spacing between the pseudobulbs was already quite large so I put it in this longish pot (in sphagnum, pumice layer...

I was back there a week ago wondering the same thing. The pot it's in looks roughly a meter across.



I'd be tempted to watch, but even that might be a little stressful.

countering sudden dryness

Here in our region of southern California we're currently being bothered by dry katabatic winds from the desert, colloquially known as the Santa Anas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Ana_winds)....

I read about that shortly after they acquired it. I think I saw it in the Chinese garden a few months ago (that or some other humongous cymbidium), but unfortunately it wasn't blooming then either. ...

Bending creeping/climbing plants to fit

How do you do it?

I have heard talk of bending plants with lengthy growth habits to fit inside pots or baskets, but I've never quite understood how it is achieved. My guess is that it's effected...

I don't have very many duplicates yet, so I just give them nicknames. One of my phals bloomed this year in a shape reminiscent of a sailing ship. It is now the HMS Phalaenopsis.
