Completed path renovation using additional black and red lava rock plus river pebbles. Used red California poppy seed to accent the red rock and brick. This photo was taken after watering and under moonlight.

This Monstera is getting humongous!

I 've been looking for this flower for a long time. A plant my grandmother had in her yard I distinctly remember being fascinated by the bumble bees loving it.

This very prickly cactus was just given by friends and already flowering.

These orchids were given to me by my now former neighbor. My first time getting them to bloom and I'm sure it has to do with their new home; good light , even temperature, and water are key.

Wherever there is space for my plants. I'm super proud of the orchids. My 1st time getting them to bloom....temperature and light are more suitable in the new place. I even use the top of the dryer. Thinking of Lily.

Whenever a person moves, they prioritize what is coming and what is going. This grand plant with a long life was a definite keeper, Monstera deliciosa.
