Twenty-two and nursing a gardening addiction in a little apartment while I figure out life. I prefer succulents and other weirdos of the plant world, but all plants are beautiful. Questions and comments are welcome. Suggestions are welcome if you have thought them through.

Also, if you didn’t see this question yesterday, please take a look.

I definitely want to add this beautiful and reasonably-sized agave to my collection sometime soon. There were many lovely examples of it on display at the Flower Show, including some in nice clumps, but none for sale. Obviously it isn’t super-rare, though, so hopefully I’ll find one soon. I love the dignified geometric stripes that make it stand out.
Something labeled as Aloe brevifolia at the Huntington Museum’s conservatory. I feel like it’s way too big for an aloe, though. Maybe it’s actually an agave? Or something else entirely.
Edit: Or maybe they can get this big. I guess I’m used to seeing them in pots.

Don’t worry/be warned, there are more orchids coming.
