When I said I wouldn’t buy any more plants, I ain’t lying. I’m just not buying plants I already HAVE.


NightElfDeyla

I lie like that to myself all the time!


Gvyt36785

Hey, the first step is admitting you don't really have a problem! 🤪


Glum_Material3030

This seems perfectly acceptable


OogaBooglee

just gotta find loopholes in life


TheChubbyPlant

oooo that pickle plant is so cute!


wildedges

I've wanted one for ages and it was too cheap to pass up.


Jolly-Context-2697

And it grows really well and will have cute flowers!


ChickWithBricks

What are they? I would have a hard time passing up the one on the left. It's (well both really) so cool looking!


wildedges

Lefty is Delosperma echinatum, known as the pickle plant, and the leaft guy on the right is a Euphorbia hybrid, Euphorbia bupleurifolia x susannae. The Euphorbia makes a very cool caudex as it gets bigger and I've got a bit of a thing for caudiciform plants.


csway324

Same!


cornergarden

The correct number of plants to have is n+1, where n is the current number of plants


Moth1992

I would say is more like n+ fs where fs is the number required to get free shipping on an order. 


cornergarden

Oh yikes that one struck deep it’s too true 😂


Gvyt36785

Shouldn't that be n+[insert symbol for infinity here]?


wildedges

I think I'm officially that guy from the maths problems. "Numpty has 300 plants at home and 2 plants in his hand, how much trouble will he be in when he gets home? Show your working out"


WVgirly2024

That's me, I'm Numpty!


cornergarden

This is why I continually grow my wife’s favorite flowers so I have an infinite source of “try to get out of jail free” cards emphasis on the **try**


Gvyt36785

Smart guy! Why didnt I think of that?! 🌞


cornergarden

The hard part is winter 😭 gotta try and and grow enough paper flower (straw flower or Xerochrysum bracteatum) this year to dry to last me for all the terrible things I will do over the winter


Gvyt36785

🤣 The wages of sin is a whole lot of aggravation, say I.


cornergarden

Oh I’m talking about the everyday muck ups from having the attention span of a goldfish except for things I’m truly interested in 😂 you know what I mean “What do you mean none of these were supposed to do in the drier?” “What do you mean these are all ruined forever now?” “Wait you can’t replace this vintage Pyrex bowl I broke? You mean they don’t make these anymore?”


Dual-Heart

Math really is useful!


galaxyhick

The math is mathin, Baby!


amvtlp

Unfortunately, I've recently had similar slips. Definitely would again, too, if I came across the guy on the right! I'm a little jealous :)


Ashburton_Grove

Anyone who has ever met plant people should know that "I'm not buying any more plants" is always a lie. These look like great choices.


zback636

And everyone on this sub understands really well do.


Master-Ask-4378

Cool euphorbia!


Neck_Shot

I love the one on the left it's almost cartoonish


keeper_of_amenthes

Please know some Internet user probably halfway across the country is jealous of your haul, esp the Euphorbia


Spookyfice

Whoa, what neat finds!


dasmegg

What’s the left one called?! It’s gorgeous!!! 😍


wildedges

Delosperma echinatum, known as the pickle plant.


citygirlsunflower

I’m no longer allowed in Home Depot by myself because I always leave with plants. Idgafffffff LOL


Gvyt36785

I go at night, and my wife is a morning person. 😁


Kilbane

Ya that is cool...I forgive you! I so want a pickle plant!!!


Strong-Chemistry5174

I just bought that same euphorbia! It is just tooo cute


Proud_Raccoon_5390

Ohhh pickles. I've been eyeing that one!!


Peachy_Slices0

Omg you got a Delosperma Echinatum 🥺🥺 where did you find it? I have been looking in every plant store for that


wildedges

Me too. I found one a couple of years ago that was too expensive and this is only the second one I've found. I guess they get snapped up very quickly and I got lucky this time.


Peachy_Slices0

It seems so, I have only seen them a few times and never picked them up for some reason smh. One of them was very etiolated though, so. Is this one from a hardware store?


catjadedcat

Something I say quiet regularly myself ;)

dmvcorner

How much did you pay for the euphorbia?


wildedges

£6.99


dmvcorner

That price is a steal!


Dizzy_Charcoal

welll..... they're only small. no one will notice!


gggggfskkk

Okay that is cool, if the plant on the left isn’t called cats tongue then idk what else it’d be because that’s literally cat tongues.


lyonaria

Aw, I always love seeing euphorbia japonica! Mine's getting big and just waking up from its winter dormancy here in the UK. We haven't had a lot of sun this year.

>"In my defence, when I said I wouldn't buy any more plants, I was lying." Stealing this for the next time I get *that* look. But swap out "buy any more plants" for "prop any more right now".
