My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

Last of the Plant Mail (for Awhile)
I got home late (Westside Oahu traffic is legendary for it's duration and lack of speed), but came home to two packages. The first was essentially a birthday present for La (a leafless Bird of Paradise - Strelitia juncea), but the rest were caudiciforms (for me). This is going to be the last plant mail I get for a little bit (trying to pay off other bills) - but this was a good delivery!!! This first one is another Hydophytum formicarum. These plants are supposed to be self-fertile, but genetic diversity is not a bad thing.
The next plant is a Pseudobombax ellipticum. After the last garden visit I went on, I got mesmerized by this plant. The grower didn't know which variety this one was (red or white flower), so it is going to be a long waiting game (but all of this boils down to patience anyways right?).
And the last plant that came in is a Pelargonium cotyledonis. The leaves got beat up during shipment, but I'm sure the plant will bounce back quickly.
I'll take more pictures of these potted up this afternoon. UPDATE - and here they are:
