Plants I bought from a plant show today.
Plants I bought from a plant show today. I'm so excited. I got a small Aloe Vera, a Spider Aloe, some cacti that I could put in the ground eventually (I really love the spikes on all of these), a Desert Rose, and this giant naked prickly pear pad. I guess this species just doesn't grow spines. Too cool!
Me and Shaun had a date/outing today.

We went to The Owl Cafe - Albuquerque, NM for lunch and it was good. They gave us a free sample of their green chile beans and they were so awesome! We had "cheese poppers" which were like small mozzarella sticks, kind of... but they were all spiced differently so you never knew how spicy yours would be. 😂 I liked that. Also, check out their milkshake menu - specifically the bottom left 2 flavors. That might be the most New Mexican thing I've ever seen. 😂😂😂
Then we went to the Albuquerque Garden Center for the New Mexico Cactus and Succulent Society exhibition and sale. They had some beautiful specimens! I'm only posting a few of my favorites from the show. I could post tons of pictures, but nobody would look at that. 😂 I also bought a few plants for myself that I'll post in my plant album.
So far it's been a great day. I'm chilling for the moment, but will be potting up some plants in a bit. Happy Saturday! ❤️

OMG.
OMG. I just got one of my succulent orders and I am DYING at how precious the packaging is. Each plant came labeled in a little bag. They all had paper material to cushion them and were wrapped in a paper towel inside their bag. No dirt anywhere. Just the plant in all of its rooted glory.
Unpacking them was so clean and I didn't have to go back and try to find out what each plant was supposed to be.
If Twisted Succulents hadn't got me with their selection of plants, this packaging and the roots on these babies would have.
I said that I was done buying plants, but I honestly don't know if I'm gonna be able to stick to that now. 😅
