Another picture of my Orostachys Iwarenge (Chinese Dunce Cap)

This is a small cutting of the Chinese Dunce Cap.  It never grew that big but it did finally bloomed. Here's a close up. The flowers is prettier for some reason.

My Bromeliad is giving me more pups!

I was organizing and watering my indoor plants and found a great surprise. My bromeliad is producing more pups for me again. This time there was three. Not sure if you can see them in this picture but there's a small sprout on the right side, left side, and the middle. I'm so happy! So this mother plant has given me a total of 5 pups!  Will try to provide updated pictures on how they are doing weekly.

 

Anyone out there having luck like me?  How many pups do one mother plant give?  And how long does the mother plant live?  Please let me know!

 

My Orostachys Iwarenge (Chinese Dunce Cap) has bloomed

My Chinese Dunce Cap succulents had bloomed! To my surprise they weren't that pretty. Since the succulent itself is beautiful I thought the flowers would look pretty nice too...I was wrong. I actually didn't even know it flowered until I looked at it closely one day.

The flowers are tiny and white.

 

Also my plant was infested with these tiny black greyish bugs. I'm not sure if you can see them in these pictures. When I purchase these Chinese Dunce Caps I noticed a couple of them but had gotten rid of them with a water and gentle soap. Now these bugs are all reappearing again. I tried the soap solution again but it's not working. Is the solution not strong enough? Any suggestion what else I can use to get rid of these pest? Or tell me what kind of pest they are? I did hose it down and most of them got flushed off but not all of them. Ugh! I hate insects!

My Garden After the Rain in the Fall

It's been rainning the last couple of days.  Cloudy and gloomy.  The only thing that cheers me up when I leave my house is looking at my plants.  They just look beautiful after it rains.

 

And it seems like my morning glories are changing colors.  Anyone out there know why it might have changed colors? 

 

 

Well just wanted to share with you an update of my garden.  Hope you guys like it.
