1 gillaSame! Iāll find someone pretty but then do a quick check to make sure I can give them a good home

Ok itās not just me? š I dreamt I found 4 baby geogenanthus ciliatus and I bought 2 (I wanted all four but didnāt want to look like a weirdo - in my dream⦠š¤Ŗ). Theyāre really hard to find irl. So if you see one⦠buy one if you like and let me know where you got it? š

2 gillningarI just go by the seat of my pants or sometimes I stop by and collections like all the begonias
1 gillaI started out grabbing all the plants and figuring it out (or not) later lol I like to scan the plant with Google Lens and get quick info if Iām unsure about a plant and its needs.
1 gillaWe listen, and we don't judge... I just say "I like that one! Hope it doesn't die!" I'm not proud of this but oh well XD
