What trails?) but it was a neat opportunity to examine urban communities of mosses and lichens growing on the rocks.

Once I was pointing out all the stuff growing on the outside of trees to my partner and he was like "um, are any parts of the tree just like, tree?" and I was just like "no :)"

Hoya Mathilde is flowering for the first time in a while! Heat and humidity are good for this plant - also getting the mealies out of it…
