Here's an excellent video from Architectural Digest about the Geoponika greenhouse, a "plant orphanage" in LA of old plant collections. The plants are cared for by landscape designer Carlos Campos Morera. Among the collection is a female Welwitschia (an ancient Namibian gymnosperm) which is grown in stacked old sewer pipes to allow it to grow a deep tap root to a deep desert water table.

My latest research paper has just been published! It covers the whole process of creating and publishing the Tradescantia cultivar checklist, and acts as the official publication of some of the names that hadn't been established yet. This is the conclusion of about four years of work, so I'm really proud that it's finally out there.

You can read it for free (open access) at: https://doi.org/10.21273/HORTSCI18749-25

They sell quince juice in #Albania. Although it's actually a product of Georgia (the country, not the US state).

The lovely family running http://www.seedfreaks.com.au are shutting up online sales for a couple years as of Oct 1st so that they can look after their toddler. So if you want some fantastic heirloom and heritage seeds, scoot over and order fast.

#Diospyros kaki 'Fuyu', persimmon. They're getting to the point now where the squirrels are chewing them up but not eating them, leaving a pile of sad litte persimmon chips on the deck railing.
