I did another trim on my Pseudobombax ellipticum so it would be shorter then it was before. Here is a picture.

Also the last cutting is doing well. Still doesn't have any leaves yet though.

Here is a Ficus retusa I got at walmart yesterday. Repotted in the same pot I got it in because I did't have the right pot for it. I used my own medium mix. Here is a pic. It will need some work.

Two out of the five Pachypodium densiflorum seeds I planted have sprouted. I'll post pictures when they are standing up.

I figured out the reason why I was depressed all the time which lead me to buy lots of plants. I think I may be diabetic or border line diabetic. Because I'm showing the symptoms of it. I made the link right after I got to work on Sunday.
I had a big piece of chocolate cake with thick sheet iceing and a soda. Right after that I got real depressed very fast. And after I flushed my body with some water I felt better. My depression was gradually getting worse and worse now I know why.

Adam,
If you suspect diabetes, it would be best to see the doctor. It can have more serious side effects other than depression. We all want to see you happy and healthy.

seedling.

I accidently broke the other one when I was helping it out of it's seed coat.

I'm starting the rest of the Euphorbia seeds I had left just for the heck of it.

The species are
Euphorbia capsaintemariensis
Euphorbia hedyotoides
Euphorbia suzannae-marnierae

Also I left a message on a clinic's machine
