Gripping and sipping. My favorite tea is Tsui Yu. I collect plants.
A Kohleria stem that I put in a tube and forgot about. It seems unbothered. 🌱

Super Sundew Land! There are some bladderworts and moss too. 🌱

I used to have some Albas in here for height but moved them to their own containers. One's coming up from a seed on the edge here.

Pinguicula "Snow Angel" flowering again. It's my most prolific Ping in every sense. 🌱

While watering Diana just now I noticed a teeny tiny pitcher. Not sure what's going on there. Maybe a stray seed. 🌱

It's tea time 🫖

Some of the Faucarias' teeth are turning pink since I moved them in with the Lithops under a more intense light. 🌱

The wonderful colors of Trash Maple!

It's called Trash Maple because I rescued it from someone's trash several years ago. She said it was dead/dying. I disagreed. 🌱

Nice sunset tonight.

Echeveria Blood Warbler and its unusual red streaks.

It's spending the winter in my bathroom. 🌱

My little arts and crafts project would probably get me jailed in Japan, but I tried. If the orchid doesn't fall off and die I'll call it a win. I'm not dropping $86 for the really good long fiber moss.

It's "RUSTIC." 🌱

Taking a picture of baby's first Neofinetia for posterity. I got an unspecified pink one from Hausermann.

According to the tag, it's N. (Shutennou x Koto) x self. I'll try making a moss hill for it later. That ought to be a hoot. 🌱

Nah, they're just weird leaves. Flowers come up from a skinny stem.

An individual leaf looks like this.

Some individual pictures of Haworthia "Ice Lantern" from when I was moving it.

My coworkers hate this one. 🌱

I'll be trying out some roasty Ying Xiang and Qing Xin tea leaves soon so get ready for some tea reviews.

Good enough for now. 🌱

Work in progress windowsill pot of freak Haworthias

I'll add some sand to make them pop. 🌱

La Creatura didn't want to be the background texture for pictures of my new H. maughanii plants. 🌱

Gave my hilariously overgrown begonias a lil haircut today. The "Iron Cross" one impresses people, but I occasionally have to show it who's boss. 🌱

Little Bastard Man on a very cute chrysanthemum 🌱

The Fellas

Am I going to take pictures every time one of the outward facing buds opens? Most likely. 🌱

Little toothy monsters and one flower. 🌱

They're still going at it. I have another container with different varieties but they're not as funky at this point.

Crammed some of the outdoor kids into pots to bring them indoors for the season. The ones in purple are definitely going to fuse into a single entity. 🌱

I repotted all of the orchids except the back left one (ran out of substrate). I thought I'd try out the Hoya curtisii in the bowl with the 3 NOID mini phals and see what it does. Shelf's a bit crowded. 🌱

Mini Phal "Sunkist" is always doing something goofy with its roots. 🌱
