Bloom

Springtime means that many of my houseplants decide to burst into bloom all at once.

'Beefsteak' begonia blooms

Geranium

Orchid

'Goldfish Plant' bloom

Blooming Christmas cactus that never wants to bloom around Christmastime.

Euphorbia (aka 'Crown of Thorns')



....and now for some other random pictures from my home and workplace:

A gecko who looks happy, but in truth is likely pretty pissed off (in a holding container while his cage is cleaned). One needs to be very careful around them because of their penchant for selling car insurance policies to unwitting victims who are taken by their cuteness.

Funky gecko foot

Grumpy-looking 'talking catfish' who is probably happier than a pig in mud, hiding under some greenery at the front of his tank

My roommate and 'Addie', my coworker's dog
