Hello to all Hive Gardeners!!

It has been a little while since my last post, and I am so excited to finally show you how everything is growing.
My garden feels so much more alive lately!
Many of my plants are starting to bloom more and more every day, and the ones with colorful leaves are looking thicker and healthier than ever. 😊

Here are a few of the stars of the garden right now...

Pentas or the star flowers 🌟
These are definitely the highlights today!
I have them in bright red, deep pink, and a soft lavender-pink.
They grow in little clusters of tiny star-shaped flowers.
They look like mini bouquets 😊

Coleus or Mayana
I love these because they don't even need flowers to be pretty.
One has big, jagged leaves with bright green and bright yellow edges and a deep purple-red center.
Another one has dark green leaves with a pink lightning bolt⚡️ shape in the middle. 😁

---

Calathea
This one is very special.
The leaves are large and dark, but each leaf has these beautiful pink stripes that look like somebody painted on it. 😊

---

---

Aglaonema
This plant is looking so cool.
The leaves are a mix of creamy white and deep green spots.
It makes my garden look very lush.

---

---

Rubber Plant
This is the newest addition to my garden, and it's growing nicely and tall.
The leaves are very thick, dark, and shiny

---

---

Snake Plant
This is a tough one!
It has stiff, pointy leaves with bright yellow edges that stand straight up.

---

---

Pisonia alba 'Variegata'

The leaves on this plant are a beautiful mix of light and dark green.
They look very healthy and are filling out the pot nicely.

I’m so happy with how everything is turning out.
Taking care of them every day is finally paying off 😊

Summer is coming, and I'm really looking forward to an even brighter and more colorful garden.
Even though this would also mean I need to double my effort in caring for them, I'm still excited. 😊

Well, that's all for now.
Till my next garden update 😁 Toddle-loo 👋
