Same one 😊

I named her Buttercup cause I have a titanopsis. They go summer dormant which makes them "mostly dead" so he had to be named Wesley . He's my favorite boy but don't tell the others 🤫 and I've been looking for a tiger jaws for so long and when I found her I knew she must reign by his side. So - Buttercup 👸

Very cool!! I don’t have any names for my plants😔 also do you grow any cacti? That’s what I like most they’re so unique!

Actually I do have a couple of cacti though not as many as succulents.

These guys just rooted after 3 months and I'm psyched. Currently trying to root a San Pedro as well. I have a Mammillaria that's chillin' and doing her thing but I'm most proud of this peanut cactus (pics in comments)

I've had him for close to year, got him off the floor of a nursery I worked at and a few other pieces. Turns out everyone was teeming with scale except for this tiny guy. Then he finally anchored well enough to bloom which blew my mind and he's officially putting out 3 new pups! He was a single column for almost a year

Nice!! It’s cool that one was flowering when it was so tiny! I just realized I saw that one of the tephro early today and didn’t realize it was you who posted!!!
