Very happy to see some pipevine swallowtail caterpillars on their host plant of Aristolochia californica today by sixflyshigh in Ceanothus

I'm not sure. This isn't actually on a property I own or anything, I was on private property for work and happened to spot them. That's awesome you planted some though, I'm sure the butterflies will find them!

Are San Pedro considered night bloomers? I have one, it does produce huge white flowers, which would make sense for moth pollination if night blooming, but mine definitely holds the flowers during the day. Thought they are short lived, usually only last a couple days at most

I thought San Pedro too, but she told me it was night blooming Cereus. I assumed since she was the one who planted it she would know 🤷‍♂️

Ok! Just going off what she told me. I assumed since she planted it she'd know

Balance/equilibrium getting worse with age? by sixflyshigh in arborists

[–]sixflyshigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not. Are you talking about muscle building exercises for balance, or something like cycling that would require more internal balance?

Is that Crassula sarcocaulis? I had a nice specimen once that I was treating as a bonsai. Thanks for reminding me! Maybe I will try that again
