 easter cactus, Hatiora gaertneri more than 2 months of fantastical cascading crimsons. it hadn't bloomed in years, decades, eons. Cactaceae, mashup.
whoa. what a big melt. the daisies have new shoots. (and here i've been indoors picking fallen palm flowers from the rug, with tweezers.) it's like. it's like...  it's like half grass, half snow. w/chunks of ice. very unusually ... early! so, gave water, threw leaves, covered with snow. (not the fly)  Arecaceae (palm) | Asteraceae (daisies)
thoughts turn to amphibian hibernations.  frozen mud? frogs? and bears' gestation (about 2 months; delayed implantation from a May/June tryst, cubs born Jan).
