my portuguese plant.

meet my little galinha choca.

as its known in portuguese and

 a hen and chicks succulent in english.

she was born a little while ago but left her family (on my grandparents deck) and moved into another house (my pot) this last weekend. now she resides on my porch in san francisco.

jealous much?

notice the 'hen' sitting on her little 'chicks'.

if only i could get my hands on one of these little guys, then she would be happy, humidified, and toasty.

i may or may not have given this birthday hint to my little man friend that lives right next to ikea.

thanks vo (grandpa in portuguese) for my sweet plant!
