Thursday's Bud and Bloom Update

Spring is still in full swing, and it seems like there's nothing but budding and blooming going on, both indoors and out. Here are a few of the succulent buds and blooms happening outside:

This Gymnocalycium baldianum grew several buds. There are three of them; one's off in the upper right corner. I haven't seen a bud so far off to the side before, very creative!  Two days later, here's the first bloom, I love the color:

Not wanting to be outdone, my Parodia went a little wild....

On the subtle side of the garden, my Haworthia and Senecio articulatus were showing their quiet, yet still pretty, blooms and buds....

Hope everything's growing well in your gardens!
