She's my roommate's cat and my new feline roommate. She's 4 and is super sweet, loves scriches, and racing people up the stairs. Please forgive the clutter in the images - we moved 2 weeks ago (Stella loves the ever-changing box collection).

(Not my cat)

Met this cat in my strata complex today chilling on some steps. It was largely indifferent, until my camera was ready and some screaming children were running its way. Even then it didn't run away! Hopefully I will have the opportunity to make this cat's acquaintance again.

I've had most these for 1-2 years and love how crazy they look.

I thought it was just another leaf growing, but to my surprise it was a bloom stalk. It lasted less than 24 hours before expiring, and a second opened up. It's always cool to get surprise blooms!

Zone 8b

Varieties: Russian blue, white

Grown in potato planting bags for good drainage. They are in the process of flowering, and some have produced a fruit (very poisonous - do not eat it). Hoping for lots of potatoes this year 🙂

The floppy plants to the left are garlic (soft and hardneck Italian). They are fine; they got too tall and fell over.

Saw this guy chilling on my deck railing, and as soon as the camera came out, he struck this pose.

Not a social media post, so hopefully this is permitted. Canada is also home to sovcits, and this person is outright insane.

I also find it ironic that a sovcit wants a monarchy.

This floofy boi befriended me while on a walk around my strata. He's friendly and wants all the pets and scratches.

My lithops have been in various stages of splitting for the past few months. They have decided to show the process all in one pot! The potting medium is perlite.

I saved this plant from my office 6 months ago because it had nearly no leaves, and now she's green and growing in a unique way. If this is what healthy looks like, it's all good with me.
