This is Chet, named after the monstrous, amazing, art class style “pot.” In case you’re wondering, most of the pot is filled with rocks with about 3 inches of space for Chet’s deep roots to breath. You’ll note that another is leaf coming up the wrong direction. It’s not a split, but a twin. I considered digging Chet out to give more space to stretch, but he is pretty lodged in - like a hermit crab. Included is also how this species *could* look if we stopped picking at our plants :) Also note my temporary “little guys playground” I tried out for a few weeks. It was too awkward to deal with.

      It was a pretty great thrift find. It’s also an example of doing a “I meant to do that” when putting this guy in here. That pot - though very aerated on the bottom - gets a bit warm to the touch in a few hours of sun, but these guys can support 105 degrees (I’m trying to remember that source, but I trusted it 😇). Instead of melting, this pot + 85 degrees in May gave Chet a pinkish hue and a hidden twin. Speaking of 100 F, I saw these two behind me. The one on the right is loving life.

      Haha bra head. It is one of a set of movies in that era that set me up for failure in thinking I could magic or martial art into a different life. That’s supposed to be funny (but trueeee)

      I would also include The Fly in those. I learned his mistake. I got this. No more airplanes.

      While I’m rambling while running past to yell “hey, how’s it going?” this one is calling to me

      I didn’t notice the resemblance for a long while until someone pointed it out. It looked very headless Godzilla with no head ha. “A pork sandwich, served in a greasy ashtray.”
