I've had many interests/hobbies come & go. After I realized I was a #PlantAddict, I was afraid this interest would wane, too, & I'd again be left with out a passion to occupy me. I think the amazing diversity of plants works in my favor. I've noticed I have carnivorous plant phases, orchid phases, succulent phases, etc. I go a little nuts with one for a while &, as it slows down, another one starts really piquing my interests again which keeps me from getting bored.

I've been trying to find a Brachystelma barberiae to add to my collection of caudiciforms for years. I'm broke as crap right now and trying to preserve any capital/credit I have for further pandemic hardships.

But I'm also impulsive and greedy so I bought this little one as soon as I received the notification email. At least it was the smallest/cheapest one they had, right?

Sorry for the crappy pic but... I found one of my top wishlist #plants Monday!

I had some free time while I was out before work so I swung by one of my favorite little nurseries just to look around & waste some time. Then I saw it: a good-sized Natal Mahogany! And for about half of what I saw it going for while traveling a few months ago.

Turns out, they asked a supplier about getting some in after I'd inquired & it was the only one they ordered.

Heck friggin' yeah!! I finally found a #Hoya mitrata for sale in my country! (International orders have resulted in receiving a dead one & another was seized by customs for a fungus.)

As a super awesome bonus, I also asked if they had any Hoya sigillatis and they did so I bought a cutting!

I'm broke but stoked. I'm also really grateful I don't celebrate any upcoming major gift giving holidays & don't have kids so I can splurge on myself.

I love it when Summer Rayne Oakes covers a cute #plant that I already have so I don't have to go buy it.

I've never heard Aeschynanthus longicaulis called "zebra basket vine", though - I'm only familiar with it as "black pagoda lipstick plant".

I took my first ever trip to New Jersey last week to meet more of my boyfriend's family and friends and to attend a wedding.

On our last day there, THREE different family members each gave me a section of a plant they grow: Philodendron bipinnatifidum from his sister, Opuntia humifusa from his uncle, and Tradescantia zebrina from his cousin.

Talk about feeling welcomed!

With their help, my plant collection has finally exceeded 400.
