Hello!

I'm a high school plant nerd who enjoys travelling to parks across Ohio to find cool native plants. I used to have a list here of my favorite native plants I've seen in the wild, but now it's too long to fit because I have so many favorites! I'm also passionate about conservation and ecology, and want to help protect other organisms from annihilation by humans. I strongly believe in planting natives to support local wildlife, so this summer I am going to establish a native habitat garden as well. Go native!

Indoors, I love cultivating and researching succulents and other xerophytes from across the globe, and also to a lesser extent grow orchids, aroids, ferns, and carnivorous plants. Someday I hope to travel around the world to see some of these amazing plants in the wild, and I especially want to visit South Africa, Borneo, Madagascar, Chile, Socotra, and Mexico.

My current mission on iNat is identifying the weedy invasive members of Kalanchoe subg. Bryophyllum for more accurate invasive plant documentation. Feel free to @ me if you want me to/think I could identify anything.

I can communicate in English or Spanish, but English is my first language.
Puedo comunicar en inglés o español, pero inglés es mi primer idioma.
