News from the botany front ...

Kalanchoe; a pretty little flowering succulent popped some new blooms ...

and the violet babies are growing fast ... some faster than others ...

and then for something ... not botanical, but mycological! This guy popped up the other day in one of my flowerpots. I asked for help from MoMS on Facebook (The Missouri Mycological Society) and was told that it was harmless (although not to eat it) and called Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, commonly known as the flowerpot Lepiota.
