@Snackness I’ve done the fish thing! I had koi angelfish shipped to me. I bought guppies off of aquabid. I tried raising bettas. I knew way too much about plecos. I’m good.

Okay, maybe when I’m not renting again…

@Floof we all think we’ve broken the fish habit and then…

@tsar grr

Yay plants! I also don’t have a yard… But I have a bunch of house plants. I’ve got 27 plants so far.

No bonsai or pretty purple flowers. I’m jealous.

Snackness

This is my big orchid. It blooms every 3 - 6 months and makes me look like I know what I’m doing (I do not).

@Snackness what is the flowering plant in the white pot next to it called? I have one (that someone gave me) and have no idea of its name.

Also, your orchid is beautiful~! How do you not have a cat gnawing on it??

Snackness

@KarmaBum It’s a type of kalanchoe, I got it from IKEA.

And my cat is old and dgaf (and the plants are up high).

KarmaBum

@Snackness TY. I’m pretty sure I’ve asked you before.

Mine is very ugly. Yours looks great. \o/

p.s. you can totally put an umbrella bonsai in that window

Here are some pretendy-fun-time flowers for MUSHers in honor of National Garden Week.

@KarmaBum I love that bonsai tree in particular because of the RIDICULOUSNESS that is FILLING A TREE WITH PINK FROGS.

(no shade, @hellfrog)

I just. Love it. It’s so good. So creative. When I first saw that kit I immediately went into a google search deepdive on the history of lego frogs – which is apparently a THING.

crawfish

@Tez I want to cast these in silver.

KarmaBum

MUSH break. Been doing this instead.

I (crack myself up and) call this one a cemeterrarium.

Pyrephox

@KarmaBum How cool! How long did it take you to do that?

KarmaBum

@Pyrephox Putting it all together only took a few hours, including wiring the light. Time was spent prowling for that log (finally! reptile section of pet store!! who knew!) and painting tiny tombstones (DnD miniatures) and sourcing lichen (internet).

When the world goes up, I like to imagine what weird shit will manage to live in the wreckage we leave behind.

Like mimics.
