We moved in here 10 months ago and our babies are coming on strong.
We have a small courtyard, with not much space, but the flowers and plants make it a nice place to sit in and relax.
My wife knows the names of the plants and I have to be honest that I only know the names of a few. My interest is pure nature, and my wife is the gardener. Not that I am ignorant, but I would rather say that I am forgetful, as some friends and my wife have told me their names before.
Maybe some experts in this community would like to identify the plants?
This one below I know very well as it is a lemon tree. It was here when we moved in and it was in sad state, so I pruned it and added some fertilizer to the soil. Under the watchful eye of my wife of course.
And this is its first litter. The lemon at the left was bought from a shop and the pumpkin sized one at the right is from our lemon tree.
This one I also know as it is a Eucarist something, but I know it well as it has a most beautiful 24 hour flower, that blooms for only one day.
And here's some more of them with their babies.
One cannot tackle this round ball without gloves, as it is a very pricky fellow.
Finally, I call this below the snake cactus and at the left you can see that it also had babies.
Okay, I know that I am a total novice and to soften the expected critics I added some humor, as life is very serious lately. But in my defense I can say that I really love my wife's flowers, as they make me feel at home. Even if I don't know their names. First time also that I saw that a person can talk to plants, and I simply don't know what to say to them. But it seems to keep them happy and if they are happy then I am happy.
I hope that you have enjoyed the story and the pictures.

Haha Not all .. still learning too and I do enjoy looking at your garden :)
One the second photo is Aeonium.
On the third photo the tall blooming one is Echeveria, but I don't know which type.
The hanging baskets on the lemon tree - Sedum burrito.
And the lovely round cactus its Echinopsis (Oygona?). Very pretty!! :)
The nasty one under with mean spines - Echinacactus Grusonii. I have one too.
And your "snake cactus" is Senecio (stapeliiformis maybe?)
Some more echeverias on the way looking great too! They really enjoy it there.
Oh yeah, I knew that you will know the names of the plants, as you are the famous succulent doctor !LOLZ Thank you so much for the kind effort Lady @ewkaw

Just tell the flowers and plants in your garden that they are beautiful and that they make you happy 😊
I often talk to trees or flowers that I pass on walks, but I haven't talked to our balcony flowers yet 😉
!invest_vote
Hahaha, Marian says shame, now your balcony flowers will feel unappreciated. I say that the neighbors will think that you have gone bonkers talking to your flowers on the balcony 🤣 !LOLZ
Cheers and thanks.

I think the same as you do - they might think either I have completely lost my mind or I have inadvertently drunk a beer instead of my tea ... when the balcony flowers want to talk, why don't they start first? 🤣 !LOLZ
Have a !PIZZA from me, served with !LUV
!invest_vote
Yep! I can just imagine what the neighbors will tell their friends about you, and I bet that it will not be nice things that they would say. So maybe you should go out onto the balcony in your underpants and dance for the flowers, just to stoke the fires of loose tongues a bit 😁 !LOLZ
I also think that you will faint if the flowers were to talk first to you 😜
Cheers and thanks.

Sorry for the at rely my friend and I see that a lot of replies are waiting for me 😉
What a wonderful story that you have told here and there is nothing wrong with your imagination.
I can already hear the "Austrian mountain goat and his balcony songsters" making headlines worldwide.
The ladies will all wear flower dresses 🤣 !LOLZ

Never mind, my friend, I'm late too, because after sleeping two nights in the van and a couple of little hikes through gorges and around a lake I have been quite tired yesterday 😴
Hihi, I can already see the flower dresses when I close my eyes, but there are not enough flowers to cover all ... 🤣 !LOLZ

I like the fact that your wife knows the names of those plants
I'm sure that you can learn from them.
Nope, I only like the beauty of the flowers and I don't need to know their names, as to me all flowers are beautiful.

I can spot some donkey tails... And I don't think that's even their real name 😅. Some plants I can identify thanks to the three years I spent in Botany, but it's only a handful... So don't feel bad 😅🤣. We will much rather enjoy the beauty of the plants then their difficult names.
Nope, no bad feelings, as you are right, I rather enjoy their beauty. In any case a good friend has left a comment with all of the plant names on the post !LOLZ

I myself do not remember the names of the plants and flowers, but I myself protect my father, and the name etc. is remembered by the servant who protects them with me, who works in our house. The beauty of the house increases a lot.
Same here as I forget the names of the flowers very quickly. Glad to see that you protect your father and that servant is very good. Always worth it to increase the beauty of a home.
!PIZZA
Yes
Caltus flowers are very beautiful, in my area these flowers are not planted in the yard, because they are thorny.
This is a stunning display of the beauty that can be found in the great outdoors.😍🤗
Thank you and I love to share my passions.
