everyone i have big news.
i'm a plant mum again! we're trying another cactus, after the tragic loss of my first one minnie some time ago. i am NOT going to overwater her this time
so yeah welcome home alice, the moon cactus! i chose the name because she's my magnus protocol fave and also i'm convinced she's a redhead like the plant. let's hope both of them live a long time lmao

My first seed-grown avocado has now quite heavy leaves 🍃, two of which making a heart shape. Nature is beautiful.

Dear lord, one of my toxic traits is insta-buying every plant that has "dragon" in its name.
Alocasia Dragon Scale? Yes please.
Philodendron Green Dragon? Sure!
Alocasia Pink Dragon? Yaaaasss.
Hoya Pubicalyx White Dragon? Yeessss.
Alocasia Silver Dragon? ✨️✨️✨️
Philodendron Dragon Tail? Absolutely.
Aglaonema Black Dragon? Take my money already.

May 22nd
My twin flowers are... ? Reaching for the stars? 🤭 I don't know why the petals are suddenly standing upright. Google doesn't seem to have an answer and PictureThis deems it healthy so I'm not gonna worry. Just curious and quite amused! I'll be deadheading these four blossoms in a couple days for tea, since I'm bringing them over to my sister's for a couple weeks anyway and I don't wanna shock them too much. There are plenty of new buds forming already, so I'll have new blooms soon enough!
My creeping woodsorrel meanwhile is very happily growing in its tiny makeshift home 🤭 It's still too babie to properly transplant into its own pot but considering how fast it grows I hope this is enough for the next two weeks. We shall see!

going through my notes and I found some passive aggressive nature poetry I wrote more than a year ago so enjoy!
Dandelion
I found a home within the trees, long before you cut them down.
Now I stand among the buildings, so powerful, so proud.
I try to pull a piece of earth, up through your missed cracks.
A yellow flower, bright and tall, but you pulled it out.
Biodiversity
I grew a flower in my garden,
Right now I’ve lost it’s name,
But know that it was beautiful,
It only bloomed the other day.
But then they asked I tear it out,
The neighbours in despair,
Their perfect lawns were now at threat,
Too much colour for their heads,
I said no, I broke no laws,
This flower causes no harm,
I went outside this morning,
But couldn’t find it,
It was gone.
I grew a flower in my garden,
Somebody tore it out,
So tonight I rebel, gather my seeds,
You have a lawn?
I couldn’t tell:)
Hope you likedddd☺️
For reference I got a detention for pulling a single(1) flower off a bush when I was like eight (an African daisy flower to be exact) to take home to my mum to make her smile and now I’m a horticulturist (certified nature geek) so yeah I might be a lil spiteful and yes I am coming to destroy your lawn to plant vegetables and flowers to create a bio diverse environment for the bees and worms you have been warned:)
