Me: I don’t really get the appeal of the daylily cultivar Stella De Oro; its flowers are so plain and generic of a yellow flower, and its so overrused among daylily cultivars in cityscapes. I really don’t see the appeal when there are more exotic/colourful cultivars.

Stella De Oro: *stays smol and diminutive making it less aggressive than the Fulva hybrids in a mixed perennial flowerbed, and while spotty in predictability it continues to try to rebloom with flowerbud development even in frosty/snowy November*

My last two sales have fallen flat on their faces. So I’m having another which is essentially buy one get one of the same price for free, since that wasn’t exactly a way to set up a sale technically isn’t 50% off your order why you buy 2 or more paintings or prints.

The sale will last through Monday and many items have free shipping too!

My old Astrophytum ornatum when I got it in March 2016 and now, 2,5 years later. I actually didn’t think it grew much at all, but now that I look at my old pictures, I can see a huge difference.

I’m glad I bought it with an oversized pot and changed the soil from 100% peat to a cat litter/aquarium gravel mix immediately after buying it, because repotting this bad boy now would be a bit of a hassle.
