“For the first time in my life I was calm, not content or happy, but calm. It had something to do with the stars and the fact that I suddenly knew they were real.”

Marlen Haushofer, The Wall (tr. Shaun Whiteside)

i bet it feels good to be an underwater plant just swaying in sync with the flow of water

First ever fish tank (featuring absolutely no fish… though there are plenty of shrimp) !

As always, my main focus was the plants. It’s a little more overgrown than I’d ideally like, but I’m really proud of how it’s grown in. I think this is about two months old now? Maybe a bit less.

It’s been so much fun watching everything settle and fill out. There’s something really satisfying about creating a tiny ecosystem and then watching it slowly become its own thing :]

My paludarium .ᐟ.ᐟ

Granted, this photo was taken in early June and I’ve trimmed a few plants back since then, but it felt wrong not to share it. It’s a good representation of how overgrown it’s become…

I love how Hoya blooms have such strong smells. They’re just so so cool

#look at that gorgeous bloom!

It’s been a long while…

Anyways.. Isn't she the prettiest ever?

My blooming Huernia confusa (Stapeliad)!

The bloom looks like a star 🙂‍↕️💗💫

This was a while ago but I was really inspired by the beetle bread that @crispapples made, so I made some beetle bread of my own! I’m very proud, it’s inspired by a Japanese Earth Boring Dung Beetle!
