Here’s an up close look at one of my favorite succulents, Senecio rowleyanus, String of Pearls. It is definitely one of the weirdest looking plants in my collection.
The other day, the partner in crime and I wandered around Park Slope and stopped into Zuzu’s Petals. It is a very cute flower and plant shop and I was pleasantly surprised to see so many Bowieavolubilisfor sale!
I saw these plants for the first time at the Philadelphia Flower Show back in March and loved them. I purchased one for myself at the Connecticut Cactus & Succulent Show. Since I like watching the plants develop over time, I bought a very small one, but if you have the room, the plants at Zuzu’s Petals are much larger and have a lot of character.
If you live in New York City and are as charmed as I am by these strange plants, stop by Zuzu’s Petals and pick one up!
Lovely container full of rich coloured Tulipa cultivars (tulips). Tulipa ‘Dordogne’ has goblet shaped flowers with a rose colour changing to orange. Tulipa ‘Barbados’ has exotic deep red flowers with frilly edged petals.
The distinctive flowers of Muscari latifolium (broad-leaved grape hyacinth) consist of dense racemes of deep blue-black flowers topped by a crown of pale sterile flowers. This deciduous bulbous perennial has a single leaf to each bulb and is summer dormant.
The delicate flowers of Fritillaria meleagrisvar.unicolorsubvar.alba (white flowered snake’s head fritillary) are flowering in this garden meadow. This is the white flowered form of the bulbous perennial Fritillaria meleagris which usually has bell-shaped purple flowers, the tepals tessellated with a checkerboard pattern.
The milk-white flowers of Narcissus ‘Thalia’ (daffodil) are blending with other spring flowering species including a very pale Primula vulgaris (primrose) and the blue Anemone blanda (Balkan anemone, Grecian windflower, winter windflower).
This small species daffodil Narcissus cyclamineus (cyclamen-flowered daffodil) is distinctive due to the bright yellow narrow, reflexed perianth segments and slender trumpets. The narrow black leaves forming a contrast with the flowers are from Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’ (black mondo).

I love me a good reflexed perianth. It’s like their little faces are in the wind.
