Some flowers from today.

Some flowers from today.

We lost a family member this morning. She would've liked these.

I spent most of my day working in the greenhouse because it needed work and felt like the right thing to do.

I went to the greenhouse today...

I went to the greenhouse today. I have some flowers. Also some mealy bugs. 🫠 I have some serious work to put in out there soon.

Can anyone tell me what my Huernia Zebrina is doing? That growth looks far too large for how they usually flower.

I watered some plants today.

I watered some plants today. They were thirsty. It's not gotten cold enough for them to sleep, I don't think.
I've missed them. I probably need to spend more time in the greenhouse.

It's been a couple of weeks...

It's been a couple of weeks since I had time to peek in the greenhouse. Most of the plants are doing pretty well, if a little thirsty. I'll have time this week to clean up, tend them, and get them hydrated. I'm excited to spend some time with my babies. 😊

I'm so behind on my life, but thankfully succulents are quite forgiving of a little neglect.

A couple of weeks ago I found mealy bugs in several of my plants.

A couple of weeks ago I found mealy bugs in several of my plants. I tried Diatomaceous Earth for a week, and they were NOT phased. 😬 Shaun helped me add pesticide (which I hate doing) and water them last weekend, but the greenhouse is staying closed, so hopefully no local pollenators will be affected.

I checked on them today and had a few flower surprises. I guess they're doing ok. I've had so little time to pamper them since starting class. 🥲

I love these weirdos!

I'm gonna check this again tomorrow. I hope to catch it more open!

So teensy!

I'm not sure if I missed it or it's just starting. I'll have to check back.

Pretty in Pink

This one is still happy and open!

These bloomed yesterday and they're giving me life.

These bloomed yesterday and they're giving me life. They're so pretty!

Bear is enjoying them, too. For such a wild child, he's very gentle when smelling the flowers.

I love how sweet he is with "our" plants. He's the best helper in the land! 😊❤️

I think these guys like it in my sunny bathroom.

The big one is the leaf you gave me, Caitlin!

This beauty in the yard bloomed again.

This beauty in the yard bloomed again. It's raining a bit, so she's getting a nice drink tonight.

This thing still isn't open, btw.

This thing still isn't open, btw. But it looks larger to me. Look at the size of this bud compared to the rest of the plant!

Sorceress. What a beauty!

Monkey Tail bloomed again!

I love these little baby flowers!

I maybe should pick off the dried ones, but I still think it's super pretty!

I think these little pink spiny things are how this blooms. That's all I've ever seen it do, and this one has been with me for years.


This one is still threatening to bloom. I hope it will instead of the bud falling off again. I don't know how to help it.

Do y'all have any suggestions?

Fingers crossed it opens tomorrow!
