Went to see this giant bloom today, at WSU. What an amazing creature! Superlong line, but worth it. #amorphophallustitanum #titanarum #titanarumbloom #stinkyplant #wsuMy baby #whiteclematisfloridasieboldii has opened! The green flowers will eventually fade to white. #coolclems #clematis #greenflowers #whiteflowers #myurbanjungleI was shooting for what was in the second picture when he surprised me with a giant yawn. So funny! #tank #tankthecat #funnycat #catsofinstagram #catsofigYou know how sometimes you bring home a rescue plant just because, with no real strong feelings about it, one way or the other? Well, this #leucanthemum was one of those. Now, I just love it! Can’t believe how good it looks with #santolinalemonqueen and #yuccagloriosa in my #hellstrip . It makes me happy every time I see it! #hellstripgardening #opticvervedesign#stipabarbata looks so good with #verbenabonariensisThe dry riverbed that turned into level IV rapids. The 🐝 are absolutely elated! I like it too! @marianazorr #sedumalbum #drygarden #xeriscaping #xeriscapingsaveswater #lowmaintenancegarden #waterwisegarden #opticvervedesignAdvertisements
