speaking of rue, mine has flowered for the first time!!
my balcony edelweiß has flowered even more this year than 2025 btw. #humblebrag
the linarias and the silene are interweaving this year, it's a pretty combination
haven't posted my terrarium in a while but it's suffering from success as usual. I should probably prune this pepperomia at some point but I don't have the heart for it, it's pepperomia the cuttings are… *viable*, it feels wrong to discard them. plus the sprawling tropical covering up my decorative skull is such a mood, check out the roots inside the eye cavity
what's funny about this is that I could never grow this pepperomia—no mater what type of soil and watering regime I tried, no matter how much sunlight I got, she was always just like, hanging in there, half-dead. throwing a few sad branches into the terrarium was a measure of last resort. turns out the humidity and/or temperature of my house just wasn't enough for her I suppose
meanwhile the original pepperomia pot is now spontaneously growing something that appears to be tomato? S. pimpinellifolium from the other year? or a pepper? dunno but I grow them now I guess

@elilla I'd be really surprised if it were a pepper, none of mine look like this.

But that livro de vocabulário árabe, damn 👀
