Don't you just *love* rain?! It does bring wonderful gifts, but the best gift is the rain itself. Some more, please....

Most excellent! Your hearts 'n flowers look great, too - I keep forgetting that I want to get some of that plant.

The blooms on your Mammalaria are gorgeous - I think mine croaked with the flood irrigation and not good enough drainage, sniff....

Thanks for the eye candy!

Eva,
Those pictures are beautiful. Do you think hearts'n flowers handle full sun? Mine is thriving on the patio but I am not sure how it will handle full sun.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I found out on the Cacti Forum that the Mammillaria is probably M. microcarpa.

Usha, I don't think the Aptenia would care much for full sun. It would do okay, but probably be pretty stressed out. The few bits of mine that don't have any protection from the overhang look pretty bad.

Nice pictures Eva. I agree- summer rains bring out the best!

Love seeing your rain lilies in bloom Roo. Mine have started blooming like crazy too. I have pink, white and yellow ones. I took a quick glance when my yellow ones started blooming this week, and thought I was seeing Daffodils in bloom. Had to do a double take!

Easy

Roo, those little Mamms. turned out to be a wonderful rescue, didn't they? I am looking forward to the next rescue in the fall as I would love to find more.

You and Pagancat are wonderful friends to be out in the desert with. Most fun I've had since moving to Phoenix that didn't involve a horse! sam

LOL - always love to be part of a good time, but that might be TMI, sam!
