		<title>Just put me in the ground</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Night Blooming Cereus wiggling its toes (not visible) in the warm Arizona soil. After 18 months in a shallow container (and 5 inc hes of new growth) it will be fun to see what spring and summer bring. It has been a good winter&#8230; 4 inches of rain, and only a couple of frosts. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>there&#8217;s always an explanation&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why haven&#8217;t I been blogging? At first I didn&#8217;t know the answer, but then I uploaded the above photo of a newly transplanted echinopsis. It is betwist and between a couple of agaves. And it&#8217;s quite possible you can&#8217;t make that out because the resolution of the iPhone isn&#8217;t up to snuff for a garden [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This guy is a Target special. He came as a single pad in a 4 inch pot, and branched out from there. The flower itself could be covered by a nickel. It seems to put out one single flower from the top of each new grown pad, and then goes about making a new pad [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s the phosphorus &#8211; Adenium Obesum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a recent pic from the patio. The Adenium is in bloom, and unlike the cactus this one has been open for 4 days and counting. Last year it was just sticks in the winter, leafed out in March, but that was it. This year I brought it indoors to be dormant for winter, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pine Cone Cactus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I inherited a healthy &#8220;grove&#8221; of pine cone cacti that had been nurtured with love in Chandler. I think I scared them into bloom. Some sporadic watering, and occasional feeding with some high phosphorus fertilizer, and they decided it was now or never. The blooms last just one day; maybe 36 hours. It was triple [...]]]></description>

		<title>How do they do that?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a Passion Flower, sometimes called MayPop. I&#8217;ve have four buds open so far in April and they don&#8217;t last much longer than a day. So in Tempe it is an AprilPop I guess. When I look at the complexity of the blossom&#8211; 5 anthers, 3 pistils, and the lacy tendrils of flower petals [...]]]></description>

		<title>It is springtime, Barry Bonds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have the cactus league here in Tempe, and just about the time the balls start flying over the fences we get the beginning blossoms of Spring. I uploaded a gaggle of pics to flickr. Check out the set that says LHIT March 2007. The picture above is from a globe mallow plant I bought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leggy, but ready to go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I have planted what I call the &#8220;leggy garden&#8221;. I had 5 tomato plants that stayed on the indoor light table for 6-8 weeks. They got to be about 12 inches tall and kind of spindly. Their brothers, that I set outside in January, are more compact and darker green with more leaves. [...]]]></description>

		<title>kalanchoe suite</title>
		<description><![CDATA[4 years ago, I didn&#8217;t know what a Kalanchoe was, and now I am fairly deeply enamored with them. I have these species at the Little House. Tomentosa &#8211; Rusty Edges on Fuzzy Leaves Beharensis v. Fang &#8211; Also called the &#8220;stalactite&#8221; Kalenchoe Orgyalis &#8211; I thought it was hovering near death for a full [...]]]></description>

		<title>28 degrees in Tempe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night was the coldest night at Sky Harbor in 16 years, and by reliable accounts it was 28 degrees at my house this morning. Though covered, many of my sensitive plants look like they took it on the chin. I have a suddenly wilty Kalanchoe Beharensis, the elephant food leaves look dull instead of [...]]]></description>
