Someone let me play in * ahem* I mean run a flower and plant store for the weekend 😁. Come visit with me at Friday and Saturday 1-5pm

I love when the seeds start coming up 😍

Today I got to get my hands dirty planting some native seeds! And next weekend I will have all my plants from the native plant sale!!! My yard is going to be so amazing in a few months!

Happy little cabinet on a stormy day 😊

New leaves popping up all over the house!

Two months in soil and we have a little pup!this is so cool!

Ok but this new leaf 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm just blown away. She is so gorgeous.

This never gets old!
I'm so excited 😆! My Thai Con has a new leaf!

I love moss so much ❤️

Dandelions are so important this time of year!

Took some time in nature today 😁 as always it was healing to be in the sun.

I have loved this plant for years when I first saw it it was thousands of dollars...I knew eventually the growers would figure out mass production with tissue culture or whatever...the price dropped into the hundreds and I knew it was almost my time! Then a couple months ago they started showing up for $40 in big box stores around the country....I have visited Home Depot once a week for at least a month now....but yesterday all the plant people in Illinois and Michigan were celebrating finding them at Walmart, I checked the one near my house and nothing...last night in a whim of crazy I drove to Rockton Walmart and I found her!
Got to my car and texted all my planty friends :) anyway I am sure they will be much easier to find now..but she is gorgeous 🥰 I love her!

*Note that look on my face is disbelief and trying not to freak people out with screaming and dancing and crying in the Walmart at 7pm

I desperately needed some nature so I bundled up and walked a mile down to the neared bit of forest...

I had a really good birthday haul of plant books! 📚 I'm going to be a botanist for real y'all 🤓

Spring is coming!
Here are some buds on my lilac! So excited to enjoy these flowers soon!

Eeeeeeeeeeek new leaf on my alocasia regal shield!

Today I carefully dead headed my African violet so there was plenty of room for the new blooms and leaves. But this means we had opportunities to look at the structure of the flower! So now you get to enjoy it too!

African violets are not related to actual violets. They just reminded a German colonizer of the violets back home.

If you remember your parts of a flower from elementary school it's easy to distinguish on these but I labeled them for you anyway. Opened up an o***y that looked bigger than the others and found maybe seeds🤔 not sure how viable because there are not bees in my house for pollination but I will admit to tickling the flowers in an attempt to see if they would pollinate. (I do this in my veggie garden with a paintbrush sometimes for a better yield)

Anyway really fun getting to take some pictures of the pistil and stamen

An exciting sight on this lovely monstera Monday 🥰💚🪴

New leaf!!! 🌿

Somehow it never gets old 🥰

It's that time of year when we start repotting house plants! If you are in the market for some cute pots with drainage here's a great one!
If you are local you can pick them up at Buckets n Blooms if you're not local now you can get them on Etsy or Amazon 😉
