#NewPlants!
Every quarter-year, the local garden authorities hold a small event that essentially acts as a convention. Great for local nurseries and hobbyists alike. This is what i got for the last event of the year!
Philodendron gloriosum 'Leopard', $8.
Like a regular gloriosum but spotted!
Hoya 'Rebecca', $10.
My first PROPER Hoya! flowers smell lovely, like jasmine.
Monstera 'Silver Star', $15 [negotiated $14 coz i was a dollar short XP]
Itty bitty baby, i actually went in and told myself, NO MONSTERAS XD. But i couldn't resist this little fella, according to seller it's essentially a more stable 'White Monster' [basically, instead of the variegation fading as the leaf ages like in 'White Monster', 'Silver Star' retains the minty variegation. It differs from 'Full Mint' by the greenish center].
Vanda [Neofinetia] falcata, $30.
This was my most expensive buy tday [most of my buys max out at $30 lol], i was torn between this and a nice specimen of Phalaenopsis equestris. But i've wanted to try my hand at a Neofinetia since forever so here we are. No means any of the fancy japanese varieties, but for 4 fans and a few blooms i think it's worth it.
Three Drosera, 3 for $10
Sundew sale! 3 Droseras for $10. There were only three species available for sale anyways. The rest were VFTs and an unidentified ping. I got a rotundifolia, a burmannii and one i forgot. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewPlants #RarePlants #variegatedplants #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #PhilodendronGloriosum #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaHeads #Monstera #MonsteraMob #MonsteraMonday #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #Orchid #VandaFalcata #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #CarniverousPlants #Carnivorous #Drosera #Sundew #TheThread #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #PhilodendronMicans #Micans

These are the last two coz Greg only allows 5 photos.
Alocasia bull-sanderiana 'Aurea', $15.
Wanted one for quite a while! One of my fav var Alocasia for sure! Now i just need a pseudo sand…
Philodendron 'Micans Variegated', $8.
My little brother wanted to try growing smt! So i got him this var Philo 'Micans' coz Numero Uno, hederaceum varieties are bullshit easy and Numero Dos, it's not boring.

@Araceae oh my goodness I love EVERYTHING!! You lucky duck! A planty convention and the prices don’t seem too unreasonable 👏🏼 Hehe no monstera’s… well except this one. Sounds exactly like something I would say. It’s also so beautiful, I wouldn’t be able to resist!
I was thinking of the blue vandas but what is this kind! A Japanese wind orchid?? What does it smell like??
And your first Hoya?? When you turn around next you’ll have 20! 🤪 They’re just so addicting. I love how their new leaves are always sooo small. So many of my plants unfurl new leaves and you can see how big it will be first…But not so with Hoyas. They always start out with these adorable teeny tiny leaves 🤏🏼🥹 and then you just find out how big it will be.
That alocasia is GORGEOUS. 🫶🏼🤩 LOVE ALL THIS 💕🌿

@DreamMachine i already have an Aurea and Thai const, plus an obliqua cf cuyabeno… i'll have to deal with having three huge monsteras next time
Mine doesn't have a scent rn, but they apparently have stronger scents at night. My nose is almost constantly half-blocked and ever since i had covid i haven't been able to smell that well, but i'm still able to pick up and 'dissect' complex scents ["hmm, citrusy like grapefruit with hints of vanilla and jasmine"], and perfume still dries up my nose XD. The scent depends on the variety. Some floral like jasmine, some like vanilla, some like indian gardenia or even spices or nutmeg! Vry interesting if i had a orchid that smells like chai, i already have a phal that smells like jasmine.
I can't wait! I have a bunch of silver variegated and small-leaved ones in wishlist, i was torn between this or the lacunosa! I chose this coz there was more peduncs and the vines were slightly shorter

I always say no more philodendrons & I bought two more this morning. 😂. Very nice deal on some beautiful plants! Can’t wait to see updates 🙂
