Happy Mother's Day and New Plants

Matthew called to wish me a Happy Mother's Day. First time he has ever done that. Growing up I believe. We talked about various things such as how long he will be at his job at Apeel Sciences. He explained they had redo the whole organization and he's a bit lost as to what his duties are to be. We talked about him moving up here; his friend, Hudson and his girlfriend are living in a condo. I asked if he had been communicating with Ryan; he is and that Ryan is doing well.

Then Matthew talked with Alan for awhile. They talked about alternative shoe wear and diet. Matthew had tried the Keto diet and was on for two weeks. Matthew said he may take a year off since he had saved enough money.

Irises and yellow flowers blooming in the front yard. The irises are from Bob that he gave me about 15 years ago when Eric and Ryan were in Berkeley. We had dinner at his place. Despite his yard being very small, he was filled with flowers and all sort of exotic plants. The yellow flowers are self-seeded and they are spreading like wildflowers.  The ceramic birds are from Magdalene that I had purchased from the Artery.

Pickle Plant

This beautiful small succulent is now flowering. Just little yellow flowers. It's originally from Africa. Scientific name is Delosperma Echinatum. CARE Light: Bright, indirect light is preferred, but the plant can tolerate a few hours of direct sunlight. Insufficient light can lead to leggy growth. Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Humidity: Delosperma echinatum prefers low humidity and does not require misting. Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C and 29°C). Protect from frost and temperatures below 50°F (10°C). Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents or cacti. Fertilizing: Fertilize sparingly, using a cactus or succulent fertilizer, once every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize during the fall and winter.
