Help me #name this little guy! My kids saw this at the store and thought it was the funniest thing ever with the googly eyes hahaha I thought the blooms were so pretty that I concurred. I figured such a fun looking cactus deserved a fun name but I’m drawing a blank! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict

Barely Squeezing in #WhatTheSuccWednesday Changed up this grouping and I think it’s so much more balanced. I’m a sucker for touches of pink and a good spiller. I swapped Hairy and Pablo. Now I need a home for Mr. Peanut and my newest succs. I’ve got my eye on some vintage McCoy pottery. 🤞 Last, my little haworthia prop broke in two. Now I have Selma and Patty.
