Then I saw her face. Now I'm a believer. I'm even dancing. This is such a Rio Rayo. Oh my goodness, how beautiful are you. Look at the variegation. Oh my lord, it's perfect. Almost. Because nothing is perfect. So I can just say almost perfect. Oh gorgeous. Look how beautiful you are. Okay, put your back. So I am inspired. I now have to clean you up because you get a couple of dry leaves in the bottom and also another weeds growing. Okay, go back to where you belong. Now I'll take you inside. Take you inside and we'll clean you up and you'll be pretty. Okay. I'm watering my garden this afternoon and I got a very pleasant surprise. Hello, my beauty. I am so happy to see you flowering again. Okay, there's a story to this plant. I'm going to take this out. And this is the Pelia hirsuta, also known as carrion flowers. Now, carrion flowers here. Hang on, I'll move this one. So first of all, this whole area of my garden stinks to high heavens because of this beautiful, gorgeous flower. After many years, I finally got it to bloom again. There's a story to this. This plant is not my original plant. I had an original pot that was given to me by this lady many years ago. And I got it growing. Well, when I started, it was about, I think, that size here, that much plant that I got from her, well, in a pot. And then the first year that I had it, it flowered. And then, of course, the plant grew back really, really big. So I had to transplant it into a bigger pot. And then anywho, long story short, I saw this, well, I visited this lady a few times. And at that time, the last, well, the second last visit I had with her, she said to me that she is missing the plant that she gave me before. Could you have it back, please? And I was devastated. And then, of course, I said to her, I'm going to give it back to you on my next visit, which I did. I gave her back the plant. And that plant has given me so much joy every time it flowers it every year since she gave it to me. And of course, before I gave it to her, I took some cuttings and planted it in this pot. And then so now, many years later, this plant finally has flowered for me. And I am so thankful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. But anywho, that lady that I gave, I'll put you here, that plant back to my, well, I consider that my original carrion plant, which she gave to me, which I gave back to her, only bigger and thicker and healthier. But anywho, now I'm glad that I have you back flowering again. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. But anywho, isn't that gorgeous? Beautiful flower. And look at the hair. OK, this is quite big. So that's a palm of my hand. And if I close my fist or make a face, look, that's the size of it. It's quite beautiful. I'm glad I got to see you again. I'm so happy. OK, I'm so happy. I'm so happy now. I'm going to go and have something to eat now. So this is quite interesting. This plant I bought a couple of months ago and I did not grow this. Of course, I already bought it like so. But look how beautiful that is. This one, I noticed that Well, OK, first, before I do this, I have to show you mine. You show me yours. I show you mine. I can't really remember the melody. Show me yours, baby, and I'll show you mine. Something like that. If you do, well, that is telling of your age. You are a teenager. I call it Tang Aja. Anyway, you've been tangy now. So not sour by the world, just tangy. So if you don't like sweet stuff, then you are now a savory, a savory, tangy, cool dude. Oh, dude. Oh, yeah. That word dude. Apparently, I just learned that the word dude actually originated as a bad thing. It wasn't a good thing. But anyway, so this is the last of my lovely rows. I grew up to a very lovely row. So I only ever had one. And then, of course, I propagated many, many, many. And then I killed many, many, many from neglect. And the ones that I've neglected actually is in this pot here. So this used to be filled up with lovely rows. Now, anyway, so this one I chopped off a lot. And then there's still another one perhaps growing there, but it's not going to grow. That's going to die eventually. And this one here is actually a product, not on my imagination, but of this dead stump. So I have to remove that. And of course, what do you see? Mealybug underneath. There you go. So I have to treat that. And this one too, I have to take this off and then clean that up. And this one, oh my goodness, look what I've done. I cut it off and then left it. But this one is a reverted from that shape to becoming that shape, which is its original basically shape. But this one has got bumps. It's got bumps. Oh, speaking of bumps, I'm going to show you something with the bumps that's variegating behind me. But anyway, so this one's now I have to redo this. And when I redo this, I have to make the soil healthy again, basically. And I'll do that later on. But this one now I need to chop, chop, chop. Yes, they're baby leaves. Not growing. It's got a little bump. Baby bump. Baby bump. Off with its head. Off with its head. Off with its head. Off with its head. And off with its head. I'm going to leave the last Mohican there. I bet the rest will pack you away. These bumps, look at this. Lilacina Marble. See all the bumps? And I notice now the one at the back there is growing variegated leaves and also a bumpity boop. Bumpity boop. Bumpity boop. That's gorgeous. That is gorgeous. Now I have to expose you to the horrors of the world soon. My seed grown lavender pebbles that are just so pretty. Look at them. I harvested them a few days ago and I left them here and they got rained on once or twice. We had a little bit of drizzle. And so now I'm ready to plant them. I've got this great pot prepared with soil to plant these gorgeous, gorgeous lavender pebbles. So I'm going to pick the fattest one. Hello little spider. What are you doing there? I'm going to give you a new home. Okay. Come with me. Come. You come here. I'll take you. Yes, I'll take you here. You can come here. There you go. Oh, you hang on to me. Oh, okay. Go here. There. Oops. No, you can't come with me. You stay there. There you go. Here. You get a little plant here that you can stay with. Although I would have liked a more colorful one. Oh, look. He's turning around saying, check that out. See there. You stay there. Yes. That's going to be your home. It's okay. You can stay there. Okay. Now I'm going to pick the fattest ones. Okay. This one. Oh gosh. I'll put the fattest one in the middle. I think I'm going to start this off with, I'm just going to poke them. You stay there little one. Okay. Now that one too. Nice, fat and big can go here. Oh my goodness. I think I'm just going to pick the biggest ones. So that one and, oh, the birds are noisy. Okay. That is so pretty. I just want a pot full of these beautiful babies. There you go. That will actually come and fill up. Where else? That one's a bit bent, but hang on. Pick a red one. I like all pink. The pinkest I could find will go into here. Oopsie. So now, oh, that one's got hair. I mean roots. Okay. Little roots. I'm going to, there you go. You can go in there. There. Come on. Yeah. Go, go, go, go. There. Yes. Poor little spider. Okay. That one too. So pretty. Look. Come a little pretty one. A pretty one. He's not too sure still. The spider's still there. Anyway, is that enough? Should I put more? Okay. Maybe a bigger one. Okay. Not. There you go. Well, a longer one. Okay. I'm going to leave that as is to grow. Maybe insert a smaller one there to fill up the gap. Anyway, guys, this one now, I'm still concerned about that spider. Poor spider. Imagine if you're a spider and you don't know where to go. See, where would you go, my lovely? I'd feel the same way as he does too. I'd be lost. Really. Think about it. Would you have a consciousness if your spider could jump off? Okay. So that's it. That looks very, very, very pretty now. Oh, look at that. That gorgeous. That's a nice, gorgeous pot. The rest of this, well, some of it, I'm going to put on this pot that I have a reverted purple delight. And I'll take that off. And I'm just going to plant them all along here. So now that's what it looks like. All I have to do now is just wait for this beautiful pot to thicken up and those plants to grow. And I'd be really, really interested to find out, well, to see what they're going to look like, say, a year from now. Yes, it takes a long time for them to grow. This pot of beautiful succulents has been sprayed with ecopest oil. As you can see, the Farina in the center did come back, especially on this champagne. Look at that. Beautiful. So after a while, they do come back. And this variegated Polydonis hybrid here is the same story. You can see that the outside are all green and the center is all white. I have now brought in my Echeveria Orionis. Isn't she beautiful? Just gorgeous. OK, that little light here. I got my light on the side moving across. There you go. And this is what I do to relax on my spare time. I bring in my plants here, all my babies, and then we go have a do over, clean up. I am watching a recap of Dual Monster Stage. What is this one? I forgot what it's called now. Anyway, what was this? Sweet Home. That's it. It was Korean. It's season one. No, it's a film recap. So I just let it play in the background and then we pause that and then I go clean up my little babies. So anyway, guys, with this, I am going to bid you adieu. I got a pointy tweezer here to get to catch the mealybug. So it's probably buzzing up. But anyway, there you go. I got mealybug. Anyway, I'm going to bid you adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu. Remove all the... It's not so crunchy because it's a little bit wet. So I like to wear my loop so I can see everything and I don't have my poor little baby, especially this one, which I paid a lot of money. So that's it, guys. Thank you so much for watching and I'll catch you on the next video. Oh, jeez. See, there's some mealybug taking up residence down here, but it's a good thing. This Orion is quite a tough plant. OK. You would not believe that all these dry leaves, look at that, hiding under here. Anyhoo. Oh, you want to find out what I had for breakfast? Brunch, that is. I'm cooking sweet potato or should I say roasting sweet potato in my turbo broiler and I can just smell it. Let's go check it out. Oh, look. Oops. Not good. It's hot. My camera's all fogged up now. Hang on. There you go. So I smelled it and then now I see it that it's ready. So once it does that little poppy things on top and that separation from the skin to the meat, then it should be cooked. OK. 180 degrees in 30 minutes in my turbo broiler. It's the same as being cooked in the oven. And to test, I poke the biggest one with a knife and it is straight through and it's hot. And I'm going to leave it for a while. But we have a peek at the big one. Hang on. I'm going to take a one, two, three. I'll have three for breakfast and the other three. Look, there's separation. There you go. Yep. Totally separated. It's too hot. We'll leave it to cool down. It's still hot, but I like to peel it. I like to peel it, peel it. Because, ouch, once it cools down, they will go back in again. Ouch. Did you hear the ding? Take your jacket off. Hey, it's off. So sweet. Beautiful. There you go. Roasted sesame seed on top of. Probably put too much. Doesn't matter. We need a little bit of seaweed. Oopsie. It's probably too much, but it doesn't matter. So good. And nice. Okay. Tofu. Well, actually pickled tofu. It's like kimchi sauce, basically. So good. There we go. One more. So this is my brunch. Now we start with this one. I always like to start with the greenery. Vegetables. Nice. So good. And then this one. Beautiful. Okay. Should really try this, guys. One of my favorite breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Mmm. So good.
