I keep them alive and happy for my Mother…she started the Jade before I was born (I’m 47 now) and the Hoya a few years after I was born! I’ve obviously taken a few successful cuttings from each…

This is my marble baby rubber plant. I've had her since '21 and she's indestructible. She's falling in half, had my baby rip of leaves moved across the state and always comes back big and beautiful!!

My oldest plants are some tall garden phlox. They're family heirlooms; my mom brought some home from my great grandma's garden and they've been doing well ever since. They're a bit overgrown with very stubborn weeds, but they're tough enough to hold their own against them. This year I'm taking a break from fighting the weeds, but next year the battle against infinite mugwort continues
