area friends, do you love plants?

Along with my two other friends, I'm hosting a West Seattle Pop-Up Plant Sale on the Sunday (5/26) of Memorial Day Weekend! Stop by from 10am-2pm to snag indoor and outdoor plants. Lots of parking, near transit, and around the corner from the West Seattle Farmer's Market.

See you there!

Painted Lady Philodendron
Purple African Violet
Misc veggie seedlings

Good luck little buddy! You did great in water, time to move on to dirtier pastures!

I bought a brand new scent from my longtime perfume gal that smells like fresh potting soil and I know I'm a weirdo but it is divine 🪴🥰

(Psst...she's having a 20% off sale until the 20th. You can get as many $2 sample drams as you want w/ $5 flat rate shipping. She even dupes discontinued Lush and Bath & Bodyworks stuff)

@ElizabethLeeCo I miss perfumes and lotions and body wash but they made me switch to fragrance free everything because of the rash :(

Morning!

I never did show you how fast my avocado grew! This is less than a month of progress since the last post.

These little bunnies are the best thing I've ever gotten - they look sooo happy to hang out with the plants and watch them grow!

The avocado is getting its first leaves!
The bunny watches up with amusement, all we can see is the long stalk growing out of the seed.
A top-down view of the plant, now moved next to the window with its many leaves unfolding. We can see the bunny below, but it is blurry to allow the leaves to be in the view.

Made my semi-annual trip to the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden. It's pretty early in the season so there's not much going on outside, but the conservatory is always worth a look.

Our indoor, potted aloe is officially blooming with the lower flowers finally opening. Definitely took its time getting to it over these past few weeks.

Another close-up photograph of oblong flowers hanging along the flower stalk of an aloe plant. The angle shows where the yellow, tube-shaped flowers have peeled back slightly at the bottom to expose dangling stamens. The entire structure has a standard flower shape but as if its been stretched to a lengthy extreme.
Photograph of an indoor, potted aloe plant tucked in the corner of a room next to a mostly glass door. The spike of a flower stalk rises well above the green, upright succulent leaves, the flower buds spreading along the stalk in a feather-like appearance with the lower flowers drooping down and opening.

Close-up photograph of oblong flowers hanging along the flower stalk of an aloe plant. The light from a nearby glass door illuminates the flowers to show off the yellow hues marked by pale green stripes along the flowers’ lengths. Each tube-shaped flower bends down from where it attaches to the stalk and exposes dangling stamens through an opening at the bottom.

    Still enjoying the drama of our indoor blooming aloe. The lighting on this reminded me of the green towering Chihuly glass sculpture at the MFA in Boston.

    My primula is setting tons of blooms since I've been dead-heading. New plants are a struggle until I find the best watering schedule. I use really well draining soil because I tend to overwater. The primula has dried out too much a couple of times due to that. It one of THOSE plants with the paradoxical best-practices guideline "Primula's like wet soil but not TOO wet."🤷‍♂️

    The first(only) plant that I ever split off from its “parent” is coming along very nicely! It is some type of snake plant but I’m not sure which specifically.

    I know I post about my avocado the most and it's a little unfair! So, look at how beautiful my happy bean looks! It's grown so much and one of the stems (?) is sprouting new leaves. It's so fascinating to witness.

    I gave my friend some tradescantia cuttings for their hanging pots 🪴

    This large-form mutation of Callisia repens 'Bianca' is flowering! They look like tiny fluffy pompoms. 🌸

    @plants @houseplants

    Slightly wider view of the flower stalk emerging from a vegetative stem, which has bigger spread-out oval leaves with pink and green stripes.
    A different stem which is reddish from sun. On this one the only visible part of the flowers are the puffball stigmas emerging from the base of each leaf.

    I found a weird little mutation on this T. zebrina Superba. From the top it looks totally normal, but from the underside there are random sectors with no purple.

    @plants @houseplants

    The same stem flipped over. The leaf undersides are purple but there's a some random stripe of silvery-green on each leaf too.
    The underside in different lighting.
