Kalanchoe buds inspection
Would I still grow them all if I didn't want to take photos?
I sure would!
But I do admit that it is an extra bonus to be able to see them from this close! To get a good look at the textures and patterns that I cannot see just by looking at them. Even the smallest and not so special flowers look pretty amazing when shown in macro.
These Kalanhoe Lucky Bells buds. The plant can grow multiple of those and as I it recommended to have few plants in one pot (they are quite skinny on their own, so a few create a nice bush) there is dozens and dozens of bell-like flower opening in the same time.
But just check out the buds. The outer shell has some nice darker spots (the flower is red) in the corners and some splashes of coulour on the tops too. As the flower inside grows they open and you an see the future petals forming inside.
Ok, this is not Kalanchoe but Echeveria Agavoides. The bell shape flowers are similar so I picked the photos too :)
The young flowers are hiding in much smaller cases and they look like sugar coated with all the sparkles.
The flowers look like flames with the red base and yellow tips.
Clusters of the hang on long, red stems.
Blooming that that few times a year. Pretty cool, innit?

Back to Kalanchoe type: Kalanchoe daigremontiana - again darker and larger spots in the corner. The plant and the flowers are bigger too. And to my surprise, the flowers are yellow. Most that I have seen are red.

Here is a little macro bonus :)

Ferdinando...to smell those flowers :D
Love those macro photos of the flowers, but this furry lady is just adorable!
Ohhhh Ferdinando. I forgot about him. How could I!?
You know.. she is in a good mood she lets me pet the nose. Not the paws... paws never. But nose is ok :)

When you zoom in on them like that they look like they are ready to break into song. "Feed me, Seymour!"

A clear focus yes you take from yes you take from interest. I can enjoy every flower shot that you share clearly and I'm interested to see it.
Thank you!
Those kalachoe buds are a neat tecture. They look like they could be in a claymation movie and start moving around.
I like the nose velvet shot, too.

So far, apart from cacti, jasmine, bougainvillea and Рashon fruit, nothing blooms for me 😊
I have only 1 cactus blooming... but it blooms all year round :)
How lovely!
What is this cactus?
Turbinicarpus Viereckii - it blooms almost non stop :)
Congratulations!
That's great, but where's his photo?
I want to see!
Fabulous photography of those "sugary fiery" flowers. Cat's nose macro shot is indeed a bonus.
Thank you! "Sugary" is a good word. They all have this cool texture on them.
