My Opuntia collection in southeast Delaware 🌵

Wanted to share some of my Opuntia collection here in southeast Delaware. Some are hardy enough to stay outside year-round, while a few need winter protection.

  1. ‘Baby Rita’ prickly pear, cold hardy
  2. ‘Fruit Punch’ prickly pear, borderline hardy
  3. Strigil, cold hardy and looks like Mickey Mouse
  4. Opuntia ellisiana, borderline hardy
  5. ‘Peach Chiffon’ prickly pear, cold hardy
  6. Opuntia cochenillifera, warm-climate variety

I love how different Opuntias can be in color, shape, spines, and cold tolerance.

House M.D. on Prime Video is showing German translations even though everything is set to English

Is anyone else in the US experiencing this with House M.D. on Prime Video?

My audio is set to English and my subtitles are set to English [CC], but some of the text that appears within the actual episode is in German. For example, “8 hours earlier” appears as “8 STUNDEN ZUVOR.”

The bigger issue is that whenever a character speaks a language other than English, the translation that appears on screen is also in German instead of English. The regular English closed captions still work normally.

I’ve checked the language and subtitle settings, and there doesn’t seem to be another version of House available on Prime. I’ve also seen other US viewers mention the same issue, so it doesn’t seem to be specific to my account or device.

I also saw another recent post about a different show having a similar German-language issue on Prime, which makes me wonder if this may be a broader localization problem rather than something specific to House.

I wanted to post about it to see how widespread it is and hopefully bring more attention to the problem. It’s especially frustrating because the foreign-language scenes can be difficult to follow when the built-in translation is in German.

I almost missed the tiniest blooms on my hurricane cactus!

I almost didn’t notice these because they’re SO tiny! Then I looked closer and realized she has little flowers all over her. I love how cute and small they are ❤️

u/Final_Research_9471 looking to moderate plant-related subs

Hi! I’m looking to help moderate an active subreddit, preferably something related to houseplants, cacti, succulents, gardening, or unusual plants.

I know a lot about houseplant and cactus care, including lighting, watering, soil mixes, repotting, troubleshooting, and general plant health. I also have my own garden and grow plants indoors and in grow tents, so I’m familiar with both indoor and outdoor growing setups.

I’m active on Reddit regularly and would be happy to help with spam, reports, rule enforcement, organizing posts, and keeping discussions helpful and friendly.

I’m new to moderating but very willing to learn. SFW or NSFW is fine with me, and I’d especially love to help with a plant-focused community where my knowledge would actually be useful.

Are these just weird caespitosa or is something funky going on?

Anyone know what’s going on with these two lophs? Both have some really unusual growth compared with my normal ones. The first has this elongated/folded central growth surrounded by normal pups, and the second has this overlapping/spiraling growth. Monstrose? Fasciation? Just weird caespitose growth? I have no idea what I’m looking at lol.

What should I use to support my Navaho blackberry next year?

First year growing a Navaho blackberry and I apparently had no idea how huge this thing was gonna get.

I put a tomato cage around it thinking that would be enough but it’s spilling everywhere, the canes are going all over the ground.

What should I use to support it next year? I want keep it somewhat contained in this bed. Would love to see pics of what you guys use too!

Is my Huernia crested? Also, help wanted with care.

Found this super cool lifesaver plant today and I think it might be crested? The tag says Huernia insigniflora. I really wanna keep him happy, so what should I be doing for light, watering, soil, etc?

I added my older Huernia/Stapeliad pot too. It looked WAY worse before because I gave it too much sun and burnt the crap out of it. It’s recovering, but does it look okay now and is there anything I should be doing to help it?

Found this tiny guy guarding my pepper

I went outside to check on my peppers and found this little jumping spider hanging out on one. He even crawled onto my hand for a little bit, but I didn’t get a picture of that part. Safe to say he can guard the pepper garden whenever he wants.

My Gymnocalycium anisitsii bloomed today 🌸🌵

My Gymnocalycium anisitsii opened this gorgeous creamy-white bloom today. The green tint on the outer petals is so pretty, and there’s another bud getting ready to open.

Planted a Habanada seed but I think I got an accidental hybrid?

I planted this from a Habanada seed, but the peppers look nothing like my normal Habanadas. They’re elongated like a Habanada, but really thick and chunky, almost like a small bell pepper.

Second photo is my normal Habanada for comparison.

I also grow Mini Red Bell, Mini Chocolate Bell, and Red Cheese peppers very close by. Could this seed have been an accidental Habanada hybrid from the previous generation? Any guesses what I might have growing here?

My Oncidium Sharry Baby is finally blooming!

My Oncidium Sharry Baby has started opening and I’m excited about it. I’ve been watching the flower spike grow for weeks, and now the first little blooms are finally here! I also set up my phone to record the whole thing as a timelapse, so I’m hoping to catch the rest of the flowers opening.
