Love how cutting a small branch off my big jade is growing into a beautiful little tree!

My ZZ plant flowered again!
It now has two! I’m wondering what to do once the flower dies off. I read you can leave them or cut them off.

The first flower came up months ago and I left if, now that there is a 2nd I'm not sure if once it dies if it will be taking needed nutrients from the plant like some other plants do.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi

Don’t really know the species but I’m so glad it’s still alive, not putting it directly into sunlight more like on my coffee table, but I really want to heal the small imperfections… anything I can do?

Both parents are avid gardener’s and ensure flowers all year round even in the extremes of weather at Delhi… sharing the joy with you all.

Saw this in the Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City. Was 7 feet to the top

I visited Elliott Gardens in Denver, CO again after a year and two months and wow!! The beautiful Euphorbia trigona I'd posted here before has grown about a foot vertically, I would estimate.

Here are photos from March 2025 and just last week. The narrow metal bar near the top of the plant is a good point for comparison. Looks like they're giving it a bit more support, too - it must be soooo heavy.

This huge patch is one HUGE pawpaw in a historical public park. Unfortunately it's a pawpaw which is not self seeding so it needs two different plants to make fruit. This whole patch is one plants and so has literally never fruited in the 5 years I've been here. All connected at the roots. I cannot express in photos how massive and old this tree must be but this patch of land has been untouched for at least 300 years. I'm 6 foot and can't even reach some of the shorter trees flowers, the tallest ones are absurdly high. Almost every single tree in these photos is pawpaw, excluding a few other stragglers. ​These are usually short shrubs, these ones canopies are as tall as the forest around it. Very cool plant I've been visiting for a few years. Wish it fruited though
