Destined for World Domination?

Looks like I'd rather be out turning the compost.




You Are Not Destined to Rule the World



You are destined for something else...

Like inventing a new type of cupcake.

You just don't have the stomach for brutality.

But watch out - because many people do!

Volunteer

It doesn't look like the freesias that were planted here last year, although the leaves are similar. I could be a cmall crocosmia - similar leaf shape and flower structure, but much smaller that the other in the yard, and they are red. Came in with the compost?

Lilies

Unknown variety.
Unknown variety.
Citronella
Henryii - it;s over 7 feet tall. Elegant combination of orange with olive green nectar. As I was taking this photo, a hummingbird visited and sipped nectar for several minutes. I was about 4 feet away, standing quietly.

Epiphyllum 10pm

The elusive, night blooming cactus. Once annually. If you are not watching for it, it's gone.

Epiphyllum oxypetalum flower

I think that one flower already bloomed last night and I missed it. The other one is blooming now. Amazing, this cactus lost so much mass due to illness this year, and bloomed anyway. What an amazing looking flower. First photo is 5 pm, second photo is at 9 pm.
