Day 350

I am going to post a bunch of photos of the newest batch of plants we just bought. Let me start with this.

This is a six foot tall Areca Palm, that cost us five dollars!!

I found a gentleman, Luis Valderramma, by name, on Mercado Libre, that gave me his website address, so I ordered directly through him, this afternoon, around one. It is now five twenty, and the plants are here.

Our first rubber tree, (Ficus Elástica), and, a Monstera oblique, here called Esqueleto, whose leaves become full of holes, or fenestrations.
On the left is a Monstera deliciosa, more commonly called a Swiss cheese plant, and, on the right is a Philodendron “Xanadu”.
The beginnings of our herb garden with: Basil, (Albahaca) not Genovese, Orégano, then Sage, (Salvia Comestible).
Left to right is a Bay Laurel (Bay leaves), then Chives, (Cebollín), and Thyme, (Tomillo).
Left to right: a beautiful Aloe Vera, Singonio, (Arrowhead plant), Payasito, (Clown plant), Wandering Jew, and the Sapito, (Prayer plant).

Luis was very helpful, taking my order from the online account I made, then, filling, and delivering the order in about four hours. Who does that these days?

Today is a special “get out of work” day, here in Mexico. Most workers were to stay home today. That means that internet traffic is horrendous. That means that the plants I wanted to pay for online, have to be paid for in cash.

Fortunately, for me, anyway, I happened to have the cash I needed for the plants. The other day, I ordered some others, small Eschevieria’s, that will be here within the next week. I ordered a couple of taller plants that will be easy to care for, and enjoy the climate that we have here.

Until everything is settled, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones.
