The weekend is when I water my houseplants. I was excited to see that my Vietnamese Violet is blooming! It’s a gesneriad, which puts it in the same group as African Violets. It’s not very showy, but it’s always fun to see blooms on a houseplant.
My kitchen has other exotics as well. I have a jewel orchid, which also has not-very-showy flowers, but is grown mostly for its pretty leaves:
I have an unnamed begonia I got from Home Depot. It has velvety, almost black leaves with hairy undersides. It’s delightfully weird:
My most unusual plant is a begonia ferox. It has bumps on its leaves that look like spikes. So crazy-looking!
That begonia looks like it needs to see a doctor. I was totally on board with the plants until that one came along. *jibblie*
I see that your yellow leaves are having a good harvest season. Yay!
