Eriogonum nudum - robust form

My naked buckwheat from Seedhunt finally is in full bloom! The description didn’t lie when they said the inflorescence would be looooooong. This area doesn’t get blasting blasting sun, so maybe that’s why the flowers are starting to flop over but it’s still a gorgeous willowy look :3

Also peep the Eriogonum grande var. rubescens I got from them that are blooming as well! Crazy to see that I started all of the buckwheat here from seed last fall :0

Castilleja foliolosa blooming!

My baby paintbrush is finally starting to bloom!!! It really does look like a neon rocket in the shadows :3 also peep all my other wildflower blooms :D

I grew this from SeedHunt seed back last fall in a baby sagebrush pot and then repotted both of them into a larger planter!!! Also have a Festuca ‘Siskiyou Blue’ alongside (and a bunch of Eriogonum nudum ‘Robust Form’ and Eriogonum grande var. rubescens) just in case the paintbrush wanted different hosts😆

Hi y’all!

There’s a specimen of a variegated gasteria in the greenhouse that I work at and no one really knows what cultivar this is since the person who curated this area left long ago. Does anyone seem to have any leads?

Thanks!

I bought this Dudleya farinosa last fall and it’s now put out a gorgeous show of flowers! They’re a very pale yellow which is not the normal farinosa so wanted to see if anyone has seen this in theirs or if it may be a diff species. The seller said that it was a north coast/Oregon locality so maybe it could be that phenotypic variation?
