I will never get tired of Mammillaria schumanii var. globosa (蓬莱宮), coming at you with a whole 6 flowers at once 🙌

Obregonia denegrii (帝冠) back at it with a quadruple bloom 🤩

When life gives you submarines, make:

Agave isthmensis variegata ‘Ōhi Kabutogani Nishiki’ (王妃兜蟹錦) was overdue for some TLC. Look at all those pups!

Agave pumila

This is I believe the smallest agave. It's very slow growing, and in my experience is quick to drop leaves or go lopsided. It happens to be quite nicely proportioned at the moment.

Gymnocalycium vatteri looking like an old-timey record player

Mammillaria decipiens subs. camptotricha (琴糸丸)

This used to have much more dense spines but I think it's putting out pups.

I accidentally made an original hybrid, though I’m not sure with what.

I usually cut the flower stalks off my echeverias but I was kind of lazy this year and left a bunch. I happened to notice that this one (E. simulans x E. ‘Helena’) had formed seeds.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to grow them properly, but here’s hoping 🤞

Mammillaria fraileana (風蓮丸) has really stunning flowers 🤩

My fave, Mammillaria schumanii var. globosa (蓬莱宮), back at it with the mega blooms 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

I just realized it was my 20th Japaniversary the other day 👹

Astrophytum ‘Super Kabuto’ (スーパー兜)

I’ve had this guy for a while but this is the first time it’s flowered 🎉

#succulents #多肉植物 #astrophytum #cactus #plants #bloomscrolling #マストドン園芸部

Totally forgot who this is, but it’s blooming nicely!

Trichodiadema bulbosum (姫紅小松) in bloom.

This was chosen by my daughter (and also decorated by my daughter 😸)

Bulbine mesembryanthoides in flower 🌼

Cotyledon orbiculata ‘Yome-iri Musume’ (嫁入り娘)

Turbinicarpus alonsoi in bloom

#succulents #多肉植物 #turbinicarpus #cactus #plants #bloomscrolling #マストドン園芸部

Sedum hernandezii (緑亀の卵). What a crazy sedum—so different from the usual tiny ground cover sedums you see all over the place.

#succulents #多肉植物 #sedum #plants #bloomscrolling #マストドン園芸部

Euphorbia flowers are wild 😳

#succulents #多肉植物 #euphorbia #plants #bloomscrolling #マストドン園芸部

My daughter is into ILLIT now so I put on some classic Morning Musume to show her some REAL music and she had the audacity to call it “Shōwa-ppoi” 😡

This is unacceptable Heisei erasure 😡😡😡

My Sinocrassula yunnanensis (スマロ) is, like, VERY crested

#succulents #多肉植物 #sinocrassula #plants #マストドン園芸部

Epithelantha micromeris subs. unguispina (かぐや姫)

I almost missed the flowers because they are so small and understated.

Mangave ‘Praying Hands’ is one of the coolest plants I have 😎

#succulents #多肉植物 #mangave #plants #マストドン園芸部

Echeveria pulidonis. So common that you can reliably find them at Daisō. But even the common varieties are quite beautiful ❤️

Callistemon in bloom 🎉

#balconygarden #plants #bloomscrolling #マストドン園芸部

Requisite contrition for using Instagram aside, I randomly came across this account that's just posting old 空耳アワー clips.

They used to make good TV back then. It's a shame this content has basically disappeared. They should bring it back like they did with Takeshi's Castle.

Bergeranthus multiceps is commonly called 三時草 (“three o’clock grass”) because it blooms around 3:00 pm (your mileage may vary)

#succulents #多肉植物 #bergeranthus #mesemb #plants #bloomscrolling #マストドン園芸部

Golden Week acquisitions 🎉

Euphorbia meloformis subs. valida
Mammillaria gracilis cv. oruga
Tillandsia mitlaensis var. tulensis
Tillandsia ehlersiana

Haworthia comptoniana cultivar with a very grandiose Japanese name (透明凸艶窓美白線模様 N水晶コンプトニアーナ)

I was worried about killing this guy for quite a while but it's done great so far. I just up-potted it the other day.

It's doing so well, in fact, that it's grown a pup in a spot that makes it extremely difficult to remove 🤔

#succulents #多肉植物 #haworthia #plants #マストドン園芸部

I’m sick of forgetting to bring a hat with me. I guess I’ll just have one cheap hat in every bag I might plausibly take out.

Haworthiopsis venosa var. tessellata (竜鱗)

This thing pups so prolifically it had some coming out the bottom of the pot 😅

#succulents #多肉植物 #haworthiopsis #plants #マストドン園芸部

Homalocephala texensis (綾波)

This one has been on a tear lately with three new sets of spines 🤩

#succulents #多肉植物 #homalocephala #cactus #plants #マストドン園芸部

A damaged but not defeated Aeonium ‘Medusa’

Something fell on this and not only broke the stalk but also somehow bent it into a "J" shape. I plopped it on some dirt and now it's rooted *and* is putting out new rosettes here and there.

New bicycle laws in Japan probably going great

Two photos of things that sure as hell looked like… something else from a distance 😅

Pinguicula moctezumae x rotundiflora

This may be the first time it’s actually caught something 🎉

every day it me smdh

The 7-11 magazine rack gave me whiplash when I misread this title as “BURKA”

Really good podcast episode about religious extremism fueling Trump regime fuckery. Guest Eleanor Janega is a treasure.
