Macro pictures from today, and some plants that I haven't shown before.

One more day in my tiny garden, but let's go back in time, when I started with cacti and succulents I mentioned that my intention was always going to be to dedicate myself to photography, as time went by I fell in love with these little living beings to the point that today it's a vice, and although sometimes I have no idea of the names of the plants, I really appreciate their beauty and how photogenic they are.

Let's start with this picture, the truth is that I am desperate to see the flower again, it has been a year of waiting so you can imagine how I feel, but when it opens the flower I will tell you more about the plant and what I have done with it.

The mammillaria prolifera is that little plant that sooner or later you must have, the truth is that it has always given me good results, both in photography and in personal satisfaction when I see it full of flowers, it doesn't matter that I don't always post about it, it is one of my favorites because of its beauty and because it really is a strong plant.

And now that I'm talking about the mammillaria prolifera, while I was looking at it I noticed a small bee inside one of the flowers, of course I wanted to take pictures of it but the damn thing was moving too fast and this was the best I could do.

For more than an hour I was waiting for the bee to enter a flower, I put the tripod and sat down to observe, I pre-focused the camera and prepared the external flash, the only thing that was needed was for the bee to enter the flower where I was pointing my camera, it never came and in the end I took the camera in my hands again to try to follow it without success, this is what came out as a result.

It wasn't the only attempt I made, I followed it over other flowers and it moved so fast that it didn't even come out in the photos, sometimes it flew away and sometimes it just went deeper into the flower that you couldn't see it.

I bought this plant a few days ago, I have not yet transplanted it to the pot where it will be for the next two years, it is named kalanchoe laxiflora, the truth is that for the moment I have no idea if it flowers or not, but anyway I felt it was a plant that I need in my garden to make it as big as possible.

This plant is named echeveria setosa arrow, the truth is that the colors that it has at the moment are not so attractive, I bought it at Home Depot and the truth is that it lacked a lot of light, the colors look dull and that is why I decided to leave the photograph in black and white to highlight those little hairs that it has everywhere, as soon as I take a better color I will show it again.

I don't have the ID of this plant, but it looks like a Pachyphytum Bea that I have and I haven't shown it either, but the color is different, the other one has the darker color with red tips, so if you know the name I would appreciate it.

Sempervivum calcareum, or "Uña de señorita" as it is known in Mexico, couldn't be missing.

Last year this opuntia brasiliensis gave me a beautiful flower, just one, as I left it in the sun it grew a lot and matured as it changed shape in what they become an adult, not like the little nopales we see when we buy them, for several circumstances I abandoned this opuntia and it started to dry up, it was about to die when I realized and rescued it, I changed the substrate and put it in a good place, it recovered a little and although it still looks weak, it is going to fill with flowers, I have counted at least 18 flowers, so it will be a good show, at the moment I have 3 other plants that came from this same one.

The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.
I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.

I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.

They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?

People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.

What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism

That first bud looks very promising! And I know what it feels like to wait a year for the flowers. I see some buds forming on mine too.
Prolifera is adorable. Such easy to grow plant :)
