My Drosera omissa (from Western Australia) has been blooming all summer long. Downside is that the flowers open for about 3-4 hours once every other day. But they're cute when you actually get to see them. These are the same ones that were the size of a pinhead last November.
Drosera scorpoides is also blooming, but not as prolifically...
Tigridia also only blooms for one day! Pretty though.
Got this Adenium multiflorum last year from Highland Succulents. It's a good thick caudex already and blooms nicely.
I think my Aloe nobilis is 9 years old this summer. It continues to be giant and hard to move around. Hummingbirds' favorite plant.
Darlingtonia are doing well. Some attrition each year is expected. Too bad I haven't figured that one out... No blooms this year. Seed from 2005.
Calendula occasionally do this... the stems of the small flowers are actually growing out of the old larger flower: bizarre! There's some technical science-y sounding word that I always forget to describe it.
Macleania (ericae? pentaptera?) is growing madly. All sorts of new growths popping up from old wood. The lignotuber is swelling well.
My Echinacaea tennesseensis is blooming well this year. I should have plenty of seed of this federally endangered species, if anyone wants some.
My favorite Sarracenia, flava cuprea, is looking nice this year. Lots of color in the pitchers.
Bletilla striata alba (or something close) is blooming for the first time from seed.
The Acacia baileyana purpurea is doing well this year. It grew vertically last year and this year it's growing horizontally. It's officially strong enough to support itself now (it was like a whip before). It's almost 3 years old from seed, and over 10ft tall.
The Monarda is also blooming. I'd sure like to be able to plant some of these things. Soon!
