Bowiea Volubilis

My #seaonion #climbingonion has decided to sprout #succulentsunday courtesy of a #plantswap with @emch thanks Eileen🤗 #bowieavolubilis

Yay 🙌 happy💃for you

*Kermit arms*

I was in a state of respair when Eileen @emch said she would share her #seaonion with me a few weeks ago and didn't even need anything in return, not much for buying things on the internet, I've been searching for this gem to add to my collection for years! I was so elated that I packed up a box of surprises for her as well🤗 #plantswap #climbingonion #succulent #bulb #succulentsunday #generousgtagspeople #plantmail thank you Elaine 😗

Lol I was scrolling down and said, "Hey, that almost looks like my own handwri--"

I know Eileen, it's always a funny/good feeling when u see your own things posted by someone else, have to take a doubletake😄 @emch I also sent u a recent email

Sea onion? I think I have it listed as air potato. Cyndi and I found some starts in Georgia at a flea market. In Oregon it doesn't do as well so it's in the greenhouse. I'm sure it's the same. Very unusual

An air potato is a climber/rambler from the yam family, kinda similar but not the same plant Laura 😊 @columbiariver

I'm very excited to see it come alive for you. How interesting!

@columbiariver you can see the main plant I broke this bulb off of under my #weirdness tag. Maybe the plants are the same, but IDK what an air potato even is!

@tinaaune I just got your shipment. This is super generous, TY so much! I would have settled for the Ironweed seeds LOL

That's what happens when I wasn't for sure what to give u, so I sent a little of everything 😄 I'm so glad Eileen! Was everything in good shape? @emch

Yes, happy and frisky @tinaaune

@tinaaune I know irises aren't picky but what about the other outdoor plants? Should I pot them and keep them indoors for the winter or what? I am stunned to own the namesake plant of Chicago!!!
