Hi folks,
yesterday I was astonished about two green specks on my Mammillaria. (I will add the full name laters. It's known.)
Would you believe that I found two tiny Crassula muscosa growing in the "wool" of the Mammillaria!
Look at that. I admit I have transplanted them to another place where they can play.

Good eye, or great glasses! Those are tiny.

Pretty cool. Seeds do travel. I had a sundew plant, Drosera sp., a bog plant, take root in a pot with a Columbine, Aquilegia canadensis, and some Delosperma sp.! It grew for the whole year and didn't survive winter when I stopped watering. And, the Delosperma got in there by wind as well. Its been growing for a few years now!

Hi Minnesota,
my eyes are not what they used to be. But such "wrong" structures usually catch my eye. Then I get out the glasses -- and wonder...
Earlier this year I found two interesting things after taking photos. (Like the miniature cutling on a melo.) That was a real weird experience.
