Well, it really depends.
Would you like a succulent type, or a more leafy houseplant?
How much sun does that window get?
Since you’ve written that the cats can’t get to it, I’m assuming you’re not excluding plants that could be harmful to pets if consumed?
I will also say that my experience...
Exactly! Columnars are definitely not my favourites out there, but they definitely don’t deserve the hate! They can add a lot to a collection/garden.
Yup! I mean, it’s not too much to ask for, right. All the nurseries here only have one rack of succulents, and most of those are usually very...
Ah, thank you! My collection is generally lacking in columnars. I only have two, ish. The family call them…roosters.
I tell them to not make fun of my cacti while they’re in earshot:p.
Makes sense that columnar cacti would be the fastest to grow. Funnily enough the only clearly columnar is in...
Huh, interesting. I guess the mammillaria genus is generally slow growing. Considering most of my collection is slow growing plants, I would like to add some more “instant gratification” succulents. Euphorbias so far have been great. I was hoping I would find some super fast growing cacti as...
Cool plant! Is it a slow grower? The only mammillaria in my collection is super slow growing, but it does produce a lot of flowers in the spring.
It’s probably the fact that they’re outdoors. I’m sure that if yours were outside (somewhere where the rain and snow wouldn’t hit them), they would...
Gorgeous mammillaria and euphorbia :love :love :love ! It’s always really interesting how the mammies tend to bloom in a circle.
The second one is really cool, what type is it?
The lithops here have started splitting, by the way. So definitely no more flowers for this year
I know it hasn’t even been 48 hours after its release, but did you get the chance to watch volume one of season 5 of Stranger Things, @BelovedBirds :) ?
They’re so cute!
I do think the frizzle is a little bit better structure wise, but I love the upside down U (that the tail feathers are supposed to have on the females) the other girl’s tail feathers make. If only she held that tail better.
I see green legs on the frizzle. I think that’s a DQ...
Sounds like Ursula. Wants to go broody every three months, sticks around for 5 weeks if she’s alone, if she’s co-brooding, she starts weaning at 3:th.
Galadriel is far calmer with her weaning that what I’m used to with the bantams. She still tidbits here and there, still roosts with them, still...
Oh, his head looks great there! A lot of show lines have very sickly skulls, his looks great!
He’s got good legs as well. An expert might find some sort of fault, but I love them!
Serama should not have tiny legs; they are not Japanese bantams! Their legs should be medium in size, and able to...
Aha, I was not far off! I was guessing 5 and a half months old.
Definitely ignore comments about the comb and the head then; he should fill out some more over the winter.
Well, here’s the thing. I’d say yes. But I don’t know your exact goals, nor what the girls look like. Remember that any...
Thanks for the tag, Tink :) ! I have not studied the serama standard extensively, just enough to be able to gauge where my birds are at.
I’ll do my best.
@allosaurusrock is the true serama expert!
How old is he? I’m assuming he’s rather young. Are these pictures indicative of how far he is...
Tax, as promised.
Galadriel seems to have somewhat weaned the kids. She’s not actively clucking or protecting, but still does everything else. 12 weeks of devoted care!
They got their first outing yesterday.
Shorter than I (and they, I’m sure) would have liked
This seems like a good resource for you.

The “rooster dance” is far from the only way roosters initiate mating, and is definitely not the only correct way (and in my personal experience, very rarely does it end up in...
Congrats @kattabelly on your photo getting picked for this week’s Caption Contest:clap!

Oh I’m so sorry Perris :hugs . Losing a bird like that is absolutely devastating. She had an amazing life with you, and you’ll have all her wins and gorgeous photos to remember her by
