To learn and experiment, I took softwood cuttings from a cherry tree in the neighbourhood in early summer (june). Fast foward to the present day, it is currently fall here in sweden and one of the cuttings decided to produce a flower. Beautiful!

Does anyone have an explanation for this behaviour?

I'd say that it's healthy and a bit confused.

I'd be curious to see if it flowers next spring.

I think I'm finally beating the mealy bugs. Office orchids are perking up.

I have to ask if you know the variety. My son took a beautiful photo of (probably) this rose variety, and I would love to get one for my wife.

It's called Scentimental. Punny name, but it does have a very nice scent.

Got out hiking for the first time in quite a while.
The last bits of the season in this spot.

Waiting for this Starpella Gigantea - Starfish to open. If it doesn’t happen by tomorrow I may miss it as will be going out of town.

While they have developed beyond the flower stage, they are still as pretty as a Spring bouquet.

Besides, as far as I know there is not a thread started for “Fall Fruits, Berries, Pods, Catkins, Nuts, and Seed Filled Cones” or “Fall Foliage & Colors”.
I thought about starting those threads but, then I thought maybe that’s too much botanical and not enough bonsai.
