My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

Brighamia insignis
This is a pretty rare flower - blossom of the endangered Brighamia insignis. The Hawaiian name for this plant is "Alula". Pretty mellow name! One of the common names is "Cabbage on a Stick".
This is the same plant I entered into the Plant Show - but apparently it was 6 days out from blooming. The second Alula I have isn't sending out flowers yet - and I don't know if this type of plant will accept pollen from its own flowers. Timing is everything... but it doesn't hurt to try.
