ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on some healthy plants. though not yet scientifically proven, the above photos provide evidentiary support that you can, in fact, grow a green thumb. it has been nearly six months since S and i planted new succulents in my patio planter and longer still since we replanted a few of his personal plumeria plants (third photo) and you guys, i haven’t killed them! on the contrary, they have shot up like a toddler experiencing its first growth spurt! it might be a bit silly to admit this, but i’m actually quite proud of my humble slice of suburban horticulture. based on my current results, there just might be hope for me yet.

p.s. come on, plumeria, bloom baby bloom!
