Thank you for letting us know about Greeneyes. I’ve been worried.

Here in zone 10, I’ve been snipping succulent babies and tucking them into bare spots. Found a hummingbird nest near my front door. Divided and planted a few Bulbine frutescens, which is sometimes commonly called Jelly Burn Plant as it contain glycoproteins, similar to many aloe species, and is touted for similar healing properties as Aloe vera such as to ease burns, rashes and itches. These properties have also caused it to be called cape balsam (from the Africaans name balsem kopieva) - other common names include snake flower, cat’s tail and and geelkatstert. They are prettier than aloes.

Zone 10 would be a whole ‘nother gardening PLANET for me; but I could finally have the Avocado Tree I’ve always lusted after! :)
