I need to hear some good news.

The first flower opened on my Jade plants yesterday and 6 are open now. In a couple weeks I will have several hundred of them open.

They are tiny flowers but the entire flowering process takes easily 3 months. It was 5 weeks from the start of the buds forming until the first flower opened.

Found a nice 4 pedal flower so I add another picture.

After a very long and difficult battle with his health over the course of the latter portion of 2023, my father successfully underwent a Triple Bypass surgery at the end of December. He has since made near a full recovery. Still in the process of getting back to 100% but overall, he's doing very well. He will be back to 100% by the time my parents are able to celebrate 40 years of being married, which is something my tight knit extended family, is looking forward to. We have a big party planned for them.

It's through this most recent situation where I've been able to realize how wonderful life is, and how blessed I am. As long as everyone is waking up in the morning, healthy and happy, the other issues and problems of life will sort itself out.

James, that's terrific news.

Ben, Jade plants are cool. I worked in a greenhouse at an agricultural high school. I've never seen any of the Jade plants with buds or flowers.

I learned how to make them flower by accident a few years ago. I just removed the dead dried up flowers off the plants 2 days ago. I have 5 of them that are 2 1/2 to 3 foot tall. They should be way bigger but I have accidently froze them a couple times.

Here is a pic of them in full bloom.

Awesome, wishing him a full recovery.
