DD1 ditched work yesterday so she could stay home and just be a momma, so in turn I had the day off as well! Guess where I went…? 🤪 Never had this kind of orchid either—seriously hope I don’t kill it! Also, can anyone tell me what specific kind of Alocasia this is? Similar to philodendron, there are just so many and I’m not familiar enough with them in general to identify on my own, and Greg doesn’t want to tell me for some reason… 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #BooksAndPlants #PlantAddict #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #OrchidLovers #EyeCandyOrchid #HisLobster #TraderJoes #HiltonCarver
