Nearly all of my Crassula capitella Red Pagoda have these–
I cleaned the plants and placed them in the plant hospital in the upstairs bathroom. Plan to give the plants a little time to see if more mealybugs surface. If they do I will dispose of the plants.
The day I brought the Crassula capitella Red Pagoda home in 2018. It is the plant on the right.
The Echeveria Black Knight today–
Attempted to take a photo of a Gulf fritillary butterfly that visited my courtyard garden.
All of the photos were blurry. Wouldn’t pause long enough to see its wing detail.
Just as I put my phone in my pocket, it flew around my head and landed on a Passiflora leaf. I put my hand down next to it.
Its antenna stroked my finger. Much cooler than a photo!
It is important to live in the moment, to contemplate something beautiful.
The space between the two dark lines on the jade is 1.5 inches.
