Happy New Year's Eve everyone!

This time of year has always held a peculiar bittersweetness and melancholy for me. Ever since I started getting into plants, I've found that the melancholy is significantly less than usual. The days are short but they're getting progressively longer. Some of the plants have new growth, a small promise that spring is right around the corner. This year I'm undertaking a little personal project: I'm going to try to photograph all of my plants' growth throughout the year, documenting them on the equinoxes and solstices. I'm super excited to see how much they grow; for now, enjoy some of the pics I took yesterday.

Beautiful!๐Ÿ˜ Love them, and your idea!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผโค๏ธ
Great idea. This time of year is stinky in something many ways. Bring joy to yourself and know that it's also bringing July and inspiration to those around you.
@Charli3Plant Thanks for sharing cool pictures! And gorgeous succulents ๐Ÿ‘
@Charli3Plant gorgeous pics, and s great idea!!!
Thank you everyone! I'll toss some more in from today and I'll even include some of the uglier (read: the ones I accidentally froze a few weeks ago) just so y'all can see the full spectrum of what's going on.
Great idea! And gorgeous plants ๐Ÿชด
Great idea! Iโ€™m not quite that ambitious, but I thinks maybe I can start updating my plant profile pics in the Greg app. Iโ€™ve noticed some of mine have lots of growth and some improved coloring since their pics were taken.
Congrats Charlie; very nice colours โ˜€๏ธ
@Charli3Plant wow, even your "ugly" succulents are gorgeous! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜œ Are any of those an echeveria chroma or graptoveria opalina?
@stephonicle Here you go! The Chroma got a little frost bitten, so I included an older picture so you can see what it used to look like. The Opalina is the same plant; the pinker picture is an older one.
@Charli3Plant ๐Ÿ˜ *Sigh* Both are so beautiful! They're currently numbers 1 and 2 on my succulent wishlist ๐Ÿ˜›

Thank you for sharing!
@stephonicle Opalina's are usually pretty easy to find at big box stores. I got mine at Lowe's on clearance.
