Hey hey hey #brunchataudreys gang! I've missed a few of my Friday posts, but I actually remembered today! Ok here we go... It's a breezy 62Β°F in San Francisco today, about as "typical" a weather day as it gets here! I've been a bad girl with online plant shopping lately, but I recently found an Etsy shop with the most amazing selection of #Tradescantia and #Callisia varieties! The shop is called 2MaeFlowers and she specializes in plants from the Commelinaceae family. Second photo shows just a few of my latest acquisitions (T. Sillamontana 'Gold Stripes', T. 'Sweet Tabby', and T. Zebrina 'HappiLee'). I finally got my plant shelves and grow lights set up, and my succulents are loving it. Third pic shows a few of them, including my #TaciveriaTasha that recently bloomed 😍 Story time...a few weeks ago a baby opossum ended up in our bedroom 😱 We have sliding glass doors leading out to the backyard, and he's so tiny he managed to squeeze in where the sliding door and stationary door meet. I kept hearing scratching sounds from the other side of the room but thought it was one of my cats. Finally went over to investigate and saw this little guy staring back! But wait, it gets better. While I was trying to get him outside, another one came in. So I went from having one baby opossum to TWO baby opossums in my freakin bedroom lol πŸ˜‚ Finally managed to get them both out using a trail of cat food pieces. Phew, what an adventure! Last pic was from the next day, when one of the babies showed up for a snack. I absolutely adore opossums, so I've really enjoyed their visits πŸ₯° I hope everyone has a great week!! @lifeis2short @CutePolypremum @nellz4estfairyz @AC73LoveCats @theloveofplants @realsimplemama @PoisedAlbo @CourtlyKingfern @ehery @Chevysgirl11 @PlantJedi @ILoveMyPlants @TheOddAsity @SweetAzurebluet @SuperblyLilac @Ninabeena @MariansOasis @Amateurbotany @Arid_oasis @Babevila @elisenavidad @FitBrowalia @JenniB81 @JenniferNoel @Michelle5986 @debbiedo @PrizedShadscale @planthoe40 @AmusingRedhill @Pineapplemom @Popcornjoness @debbiedo @craaa777 @preciousplants1 @basementforest @TRose @AmyM @Motheroforchids @BuffCaperspurge @PrincessPitStop @Plants_Galore @Prentyce @PioneerRutabaga @blueberrypie @motheroforchids @elk @emmiev123 @baobab_zig #TradescantiaTroupe #HappyPlants #TradescantiaSillamontana #TradescantiaSweetTabby #SucculentSquad #PlantAddict #PlantMail #GrowLights #GregGang

Ok, calling all Plant and Art fans! (& Especially Plant-Art fans!! Lol πŸ˜‚).... Or, just anyone who just wants a pictorial reference to ID certain species... I saw a post earlier (which I've now lost!! Sorry!!) with a Philo leaf ID picture on it... So I shared my similar Pothos pic and realised I'd lost the other couple I had saved.. Long story short... I ended up contacting the artist directly (after finding her again on Insta) to check she was ok with me reposting her artwork and she answer REALLY quickly with a resounding YES! πŸ₯° She's a plant fiend (like us), who has just joined us on Greg! Lol 🀣 & I'm SO excited to share these BEAUTIFUL diagrams that she hand drew... Of loads of different species too! 🀩 So... please welcome @halleplants! You can find her at @HallePlants on Insta, or (if you love these as much as I do!!) Plantification.ca on Etsy and Halleplants on Amazon!! Not only has she joined us on Greg... She's VERY kindly created a special discount code JUST FOR US!! 😲😎πŸ₯° You can use code GREG15 in her Etsy shop to get a 15% discount on her beautiful prints! πŸ₯³πŸ₯³ How's that for a super special piece of planty GOLD! πŸ₯‡ Check out these beauties... The Philo ones I love in particular! You can get the single or as a group of four (I've only posted one here) but even if you're not into them as art... They're really bloody useful just as a visual ID guide! Please check her out... My new yoga-studio-come-plant room (once the renovations are finished) will be COVERED in these gorgeous prints!! 😍 Halle... I hope you see these when you join! (I know you were downloading Greg after our chat lol) xx P.s. sorry that good old glitch happened again... It's double posted the Yrad image and dropped another, and now I can't change it fit some reason?! Lmao... But you'll see what I mean! πŸ₯° Welcome Halle! You're gonna love it here! Lol πŸ₯°πŸ€£ xx #Greggang #tradescantiatroupe #monstera #monsteramob #philodendron #pothos #pothospack #philoflock #syngonium #begonia #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantart #idmyplant #jennib81

#freshleaffriday updates! Woohoo! πŸ₯° So hard to choose just five since all the lovelies are really starting to kick into high gear now the warmer, brighter weather is coming in! But here we go (assuming the photos don't "rearrange" themselves! Lol 🀣) 1. My #Monstera Adansonii is putting out her second new leaf since I got her a couple of weeks ago! πŸ₯° It's nearly time to repot her and give her something to climb as she's growing RAPIDLY! #Everyoneshouldhaveamonsty 2. My baby #philodendronbirkin's leaf is nearly unfurled! Hoping for a lovely, large(r) leaf... She's only teeny but looks at those stripes! 😍 3. After a MASSIVE slow down in growth recently my Velvet #Calathea (or "Furry Feather" as I know they're called elsewhere .. what a cute name! Lol) has produced not one but FOUR new leaves, which are all coming up rapidly! 🀩 4. My poor, battered Fan #aloe (which I nearly sent the way of my previous aloes... To the great compost heap in the sky! Lol 🫣🀣) is actually really rocking now in her new pot and new position! The tiny leaf I noticed and posted last week has REALLY grown! And there's just the tip of a new leaf visible that's she's started working on already! I think the worst has passed (& I could NOT have done it without the help of the amazing #greggang!!) 5. My #tradescantiapallida is putting out new leaves a plenty, and this wee baby just popped up! May have to move her to ensure that lovely deep purple colour stays gorgeous! #tradescantiatroupe I love #freshleaffriday! πŸ₯° Thanks for admiring #Greggang! #plantsmakepeoplehappy xxx
