The thing about narcissists and people with narcissistic traits is that they all have the same playbook. It would be fascinating except for the destruction they cause to those unfortunate enough to love them.

I can't wait until conspiracy theorists discover they're really part of a conspiracy to use conspiracy theorists to spread disinformation - via conspiracy theories.

I'm thrilled with the progress that our Andean sage (Salvia discolor) is making! Such an unusual species. Indigenous to Peru and not commonly found in cultivation. #salviadiscolor #rareplants #plantobsessed #salvia #iliveforplants

Ah, Hoya 😍 I propagated this plant threw years ago and I'm delighted to see it in magnificent bloom. Hoya pubicalyx is indigenous to the Philippines but has become a popular garden plant around the world.

Pretty sure the heat today has melted what's left of my mind. It's going to be a rough summer 🙃 but at least our plants are thriving 😌

It's been a good season for our hippeastrum hybrids!

Another genus that I collect: Epiphyllums. They're a genus of cactus commonly known as orchid cacti. Not sure what this cultivar in my collection is, but it was certainly worth the wait to see the blooms!

Absolutely loving our Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Silver Pearl'! It hasn't disappointed this season.

Coelacanths are pregnant for five years, the longest gestation of any known animal, and do not reach maturity until they are around 55 years old.

One of my hibiscus in bloom, I grew it from a cutting in July 2023, still trying to ID the exact cultivar but I'm pleased so far!

My first post on this platform! Thought I'd make it special. This is my spotted Haemanthus albiflos. Indigenous to South Africa.
