I couldn't decide which of these baby jade plants I liked best, so I posted them all. Each has something different about them that appealed to me. I took these photos with my macro lens. You might remember the photo of a very large jade plant I posted some time back (Feb 1), and this is not the same plant. If you look very carefully at the right corner of the 3rd photo, you'll see the hint of something pink. That's a milk jug cap! So this is an itty, bitty little Jade plant.
My sister gave me this plant when it wasn't much more than one little branch with a few leaves.
A package arrived from my sister in the mail one day with this plant. And a note that said "somehow" this little plant "fell" into my sister's pocket at a botanical garden, so she mailed it to me.
I couldn't excactly turn the poor little plant out into the cold, so this little waif has
been sitting in my kitchen window, just doing its own little job of pulling carbon dioxide
from the air.
Someday, I might take this plant on a field trip to visit the humongous plant in my office,
but I'd hate to give it a complex if it has any "size" issues. (I don't actually know if it's a girl or boy.)
So that's my green for the day!
I love jade plants.

ReplyDeletewhat a sweet little plant. when you talk to him/her for the daily dose of c2o tell him/her i said he's huge! haha!
ReplyDeleteNeat shots of the jade plant.
ReplyDeleteI love the second shot, such a pretty jade plant!
ReplyDeletegreat shots. I really want a macro lense.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, that is teeny! And look at those great sun flares you got. Those must have been super teeny tiny. Maybe if you take this one to your office, it will see the big jade and say, "Are you my mother?"
ReplyDeleteCute story! I like the little sunburst effects you got on #2 and #3
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story to go along with that plant. It's a beautiful plant, too.
ReplyDeleteLOVE how the sun is reflecting off those middle pictures - it's like there's a sparkle. You are such a clever, funny journaler. I just love reading your journaling! I'm off for the next 5 days. Are you around? If so, I'll give you a call to get together!! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteCool plants, I love how your sister gave them to you!
ReplyDeleteI love Jade plants. My mom has an actual tree that they have had for about 25 years or so. I can't get over how huge it is. I love your little flares! Those are so cute.
ReplyDeleteOOH! Third shot with the sun sparkle! I love jade plants; I had one that had to be carried in a laundry basket, it was so big. Love the story behind this.
ReplyDeletelove that 3rd one and your story too!
ReplyDeletetara

ReplyDeleteVery cool! I LOVE the 3rd one, the little sunflare in the raindrop is so neat!
ReplyDeleteThese are too fun! I love the "sparkle" on the third one!
ReplyDeletefun journaling. I like the little sun on it.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I love the first shots and the bling... after all, what's a plant without a little bling ;)
ReplyDeleteoh... I love jade plants! I'm afraid ours might have gone by the wayside.... I left it outside while on vacation and the temps dropped lower than I thought they would. Hopefully, it'll be ok! :)
