Cafe con leches

Watered everyone in well this morning. It's staying dark fairly late in the mornings now, and getting dark too soon in the evening. It is cutting into garden time.

The shrimp plants have begun to bloom, as well as a euphorbia that has almost black leaves and small with balls on the ends of the stems for flowers, a beautiful contrast.

Euphorbia is a huge genus of plants for 2008 species-- according to WIKI, it is one of the most diverse in the plant kingdom.  It was a gift from Leonard, who told me,  BTW, that his Bridal Bower claredendron is coming into bloom soon. See the picture of Leonard on the left column of pics, he is standing in front of this claredendron in full bloom.

My watering schedule depends on the time of year and the type of container and the plant in question. My rhizomatous begonias are watered in a very different way (only when the soil is dry to the touch)than the Buddha belly bamboo, who's root ball should never be allowed to dry.

My coffee, however, stays pretty much the same. I have a Gaggia that makes fabulous coffee, I make cafe con leches for us and use way to much milk but it is tasty.

Here is a pic from the folio.

It's how big??
