# I bought this obovata last winter while all the rains were drenching…

_Posted by Amy Morgan Grace on 2023-12-11_

I bought this obovata last winter while all the rains were drenching us here in Southern California.  
It was a savior mission, as this poor thing was drenched and rotting at an outdoor nursery.  
She’s finally decided that she’s safe and sound here, so she’s throwing me her first peduncle.  
I gotta big love for this common beauty💚

Do you have an Obovata?  
Show me!🫶🏻

So sweet, enjoy!  
In my experience, they grow quickly!  
I keep mine outside in partial shade April-October (I’m in Los Angeles) and it goes crazy with new growth nearly constant.

I can’t wait. I’ve only had it a little over a week.
