Plants are more resilient than you’d think. Over the last decade of having them, I’ve not been the best plant keeper but I’ve learned so much. It’s as relaxing a hobby as it is wildly frustrating but you can’t help feel satisfied when something grows :)
My begonia Ferox died all the way back and I was devastated. But the rhizome still looked good, so I continued to tend to the plant anyways. And! LEAVES!!!
Most likely it was a combination of thrips, and I moved it to a drafty location it wasn’t keen on. Seems to be happy where I have it now?

They’re greedy little bastards is all I can say!! Save some of that leaf juice for the plants!
I’ve been dealing with pests (thrips), a threat I didn’t even consider until it got bad enough to notice. It makes me feel a tad better that none of my plants actually died. The ones that look worst, however, I’m hoping will bounce back with a combo of ferts, repotting and attentiveness
Echeveria purpusorum in spike 😀
I always think about the very high, very well meaning plant store man who explained to me that succulents only very rarely bloom indoors. Little did he know I read ancient tomes of forbidden secrets to all my plants before bed each night
I’ve never had jet lag kick my butt so hard, it’s taken me a full month to start working again without taking a hundred naps a day. Here is another cave lion mug WIP!
This one is taking longer than it should however. Brain fried
YES! I’ve done a couple pieces with a similar design too :)
Thanks so much Mac!! 😭💖

Working on some postcards :) (WIP)
if you have ever been to these forests you understand that they are unimaginably complex and dense places of health and beauty. please add a comment for the BLM to reconsider and revise. I have little faith in this admin, but we should try
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Tufted puffins and a bountiful harvest of fish on green ware 😌
Technically, I think haworthia at this age (2 yrs) should be bigger, but as I have stated many a time, I am a chronic under-waterer. With more frequent waterings when dry, they are starting to green again and plumpen nicely
It’s so good to see you and the pups around again!! I hope you all have been doing well and taking care 😭💖
I’m going to have to do a massive spring cleanup once it’s warm enough and basically replant everything, add a systemic to the soil, etc etc. It’s been a couple years since I’ve done it but I’ll definitely have to now bc I’m fighting bugs :/
My first time growing succulents from seed, I’m still looking at 60 Haworthia picta seedlings out of the 100 seeds I sowed. Once they get big enough (and are assuredly thrip free) I’ll probs start bringing them to cons with me. They’re just so adorable
Sad…… 😔
