I’m leaving for Nebraska today! I’ll be gone for a little while, so I had to make sure the garden was in good order. I mowed the lawn, and I watered the plants.
As I was moving around in the back yard, I noticed that my monkey tail cactus is blooming. “What?” you say? “Booming?” Yes! Blooming!
When succulents bloom, it could mean they are happy. It could also mean they are dying. Dying succulents sometimes put a last-ditch effort into reproducing, and will bloom and then die. People on the internet call it a “death bloom”. Even though I’ve been worried about the yellowness of my monkey tail, I don’t think it’s dying. I think it might be happy. I hope.
Here are my flight details, for those playing along at home:
United #1912
Depart LA 8:47am
Arrive Denver 12:14pm
United #5827
Depart Denver 1:55pm
Arrive Lincoln 4:26pm
I also hope that your disconcerting plant specimen is happy. 🙂
Safe travels today! Praying you here!
