My beautiful Peperomia collection 💗

[strongteanosugar]

I have been buying a few houseplants recently and I think I am getting out of hand. I am still learning so if I have names wrong, please correct me. Here are the newbies:

Teardrop Peperomia

Monstera Deliciosa

Monstera Adansonii (labelled Obliqua, but internet says no)

Sanservieria Trifasciata Black Dragon

Calathea Rufibarba

Fatsia Japonica

First spiderette coming along!

Does whatever a spider can't

Always thrives, never dies

Look out here comes the spider plant

I guess I am a little bit too excited about how happy he looks since repotting and repositioning in the house.

Love my Dahlia. Keeping her in a small pot so I can bring her in over winter. I really don't want to risk lossing her again

After 2 long years of struggling to find a full time job, not just the odd plumbing jobs for cash, I am now having a massive career change after being accepted or a role in caring for adults with learning disabilities. I am so excited!

I applied twice for this role. I received a confirmation email both times saying they received my application. I waited 2 weeks then decided to ring them. They apologized and set up an interview with me for the next morning. Went well despite me criticizing the interviewers diet and they rang me 5 hours later offering the job.

I haven't got qualifications but they said they can train me but they can't teach empathy.

Yes I did a little dance around my house after that call.

That was last week. I start Monday 😁

Well these are just wonderful. No idea what they are but growing along a path.

If it is a weed, it's a beautiful weed

Couple of succulents I purchased. They were in a glass jar so reported into terracotta pots. I'm no expert in succulents but I am willing to learn by doing.

Happy I've got this guy regrowing. I think it's jade

My little forest spirits I carved to decorate my big house plants I don't own yet, so my spider will do for now.

Butternut squash has finished growing. The only one from 2 plants. Worth it? Yes

[strongteanosugar]

Not what all women want but I've been after a set of these for a while.

I found a caterpillar living on my bananas. I don't want to disturb him but I can't make banana bread with him attached.

Such beautiful leaves

I'm not the best at decorating cakes but this has to be the prettiest.

Requested by and for my daughter's birthday. Victoria sponge with cherry filling and vanilla frosting. With glacé cherry biscuits topped with cherry icing and cherry chupa chups.

We shall feast like kings!
