/GH2/specimen collection

back to headhouse

i intend on drawing a representative image of each of my plants, but for now i'm just going to have some pictures :-)

ive been gifted quite a few props (propogations) from the zoo's greenhouse/tropical collections. i would say i have about a 60% kill rate but a few have made it under my care and several have gone into my mother's collection and are thriving.

propogation in progress

tradescantia pallida

the tradescantia pallida (purple heart plant) is under my mother's supervision and started as a tiny prop :3 she's come so far!

assortment of plants

crassula arborescens (silver dollar/jade plant)

soooo excited for this one to grow enough to bloom. the inflorescences are so beautiful.

plants i have unceremoniously killed:

• begonia venosa prop :(

genuinely such a gorgeous plant but i was assured that begonias are just the worst to propogate and i shouldn't feel too bad.

• deuterocohnia brevifolia

died of lack of water #sorry

• several small tropical plants
