Mezoo which I have had here before
Golden Cascade, new 
Clouds are back, temperature is to be warm today at 38F(3C) but it will be cloudy so for me the greenhouse will not be as warm as if the sun was coming out.  Stay warm, stay safe.
 
Australia family and friends, I do believe had rain yesterday which is well needed. It looks like it is still raining.  They have a severe weather alert of Riverine Flood.  I will have to ask Evelyn what that is? Their temperature will be mild at 69F(20C).  Stay dry, stay safe. 
 
Here are two more plants I will be growing this season.  The Mezoo I have had in the past, and it is a great trailing plant.  It is a succulent so easy to care for.  The grower had added another variety to this species.  Golden Cascade Artenia.  More plants for you to think about having in your garden or containers. 
​
Mezoo trailing red bloom
Mezoo is a unique, low-growing plant prized for its succulent-like foliage, trailing habit, and subtle daisy-style flowers.  With proper care, Mezoo delivers season-long texture, steady growth, and a clean, controlled look that works beautifully in both containers and the landscape.
Mezoo is a sprawling, trailing plant known for its versatility and adaptability in both indoor and outdoor settings. The stems can grow an average of 12–24 inches in length in a season, making it an excellent choice for cascading over the edges of pots, hanging baskets, or decorative containers. Its compact yet vigorous growth habit allows it to fill spaces effectively without becoming invasive.
The leaves of Mezoo are semi-succulent, thick, and glossy, with a texture that helps the plant retain moisture in warmer climates. Each leaf features a striking variegated pattern, with bright green centers and creamy-white margins that lend a lively, luminous quality to the plant's appearance, even when it is not in bloom. This variegation makes Mezoo a standout in mixed planters, adding contrast to other foliage plants.
 
Golden Cascade Aptenia
The Golden Cascade Aptenia is a vibrant, golden chartreuse variety known for its drought-tolerant and heat-loving nature. It is an excellent choice for hanging baskets, container combinations, window boxes, borders, and rock gardens. This plant thrives in full sun and can also tolerate part sun and full shade, making it versatile for various garden settings.
