I have one lavender plant in a pot so you’re probably doing better than me @Former-Member

Lavender is lovely, @soul. I only have a few pot plants too. They bring me moments of joy when I look at them and give them water. I don't have a lavender plant but I use lavender oil for cleansing.
Like some others, I chose an avatar that might bring good feelings to myself and others. It's a dandelion fluff about to be blown by someone making a wish. I'd like the hopes of everyone who sees it to be realised.

Hi @Former-Member, good to see you.
I've never tried to grow lavender. It would be a lovely addition to my pot plants, but I'd need to check what sort of climate they grow in. The succulents do well here. But my bromeliads are looking a bit 'weathered'. Also just lost a little succulent in a terarium today. I think I overwatered it. Ah well, I am a beginner after all.

It was cool to hear the backstory @soul! I picked mine for one of my two totem animals. Turtle is the other one. I like them equally. A frog symbolises transformation in times of change. Frogs are associated with the water and connect us with emotions and feminine energies, as well as the process of cleansing. I felt a need for all of that at the time, and still do.

I loved blowing out the dandelion seeds when I was a kid @Mazarita.Have to admit that I still do it on occasion. That is so sweet of you to be wishing everyone’s hopes to come true.

It is really cool that frogs undergo such a change from egg to tadpole and then to a frog @frog.And you’ve chosen one with such character with her little foot up like that as if she is waving.
