What’s new?

We have plants arriving today.

A 6 pack of Aeonium Kiwi succulents to be specific.

Just the thought of them makes me smile. They probably will be tiny little things, clinging to dear life, coming to my home for sustenance. If that wan’t so sad it would be funny. My obligation has begun.

Really; doesn’t that make you smile? The beautiful pink edges? The light green smiling center? I prefer this to a rose.

It fills me with a bit of unease, receiving these, as I did not take care of them the first time they were in my care. I have done more research, and have concluded that this time I will get it right.

These little beauties grow to 3ft. in height, and can last for several years. When one of the rosettes begins to flower, the entire rosette dies. The plant remains alive, but that particular rosette will die. Therefore, one needs to propagate the rosette before it flowers.

That is simple enough, but I’m not going to go into all of that right now. Suffice it to say I will be doing my best to keep better track of the goings on with our newest arrival.

Stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect yourselves.
