Here's a big photodump of some of the things I've got outside right now! My great grandma's hybrid beans, a baby fig tree, cannas, asiatic lilies, pin cherries, begonias Harmony's Red Robin, and unknown (id?), and a Fedor leaf prop.

I'm so excited for the summer! So many plants! And also mushroom foraging!

So at the store today I saw some monstera mislabeled as philodendron selloum, which are far cheaper than monstera, sooooooo

I robbed them blind

and came home with 5 monstera easily worth at least 40 each for 50 dollars collectively.

Everything is leafing and flowering and it's wonderful! I went camping this past weekend and found Virginia Bluebells and wild blueberries, then came bavk to discover that our fringetree is flowering and my previously dormant elderberry tree is leafing out!
