I usually wouldn't do this (and plan on doing so for the other much unless I remember the exact days I got them), but these two are very special.
They're my first houseplants, and they came into my possession exactly one year ago.
SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RUSSELL AND DIVA!!!!
 |
| About one year ago. |
 |
| Today! (Diva has been looking like this for about a month or two. She wasn't looking good after she bloomed out. She is putting out new growth.) |
 |
| Russell has been such an easy plant. He could use more sun, but hasn't dropped leaves en masse or pouted (even during the winter). |
 |
| Diva. What can I say about Diva? She had such a long run blooming that when she started pouting, I had to save her. She's usually a 'throw away' plant, but I refuse to chuck her. No no, Diva keeps on growing. :) |
Happy 1st birthday, you two. I can't believe it's been a year! Here's to many more.

Birthday wishes to your brood! Is Diva a Kalanchoe? We used to throw those away after they bloomed when I worked for a different plant maintenance company. But I never understood why - with a little TLC, they will bloom again. Consistent bloomers.
Liza, yes...that's is a Kalanchoe with double flowers. I believe it's a Calandiva. I agree with you on the TLC - they're just not throwaways for me!
