I potted up, oh, 20-25 Azalea I had been growing for bonsai. I set them in a garden bed, along with 3 bleeding heart plants. I'll have to see how it goes! Short update. Not much to say, it snowed.
Happy Chinese New Year!
Ok, I have a new problem, Tillandsia. I recently found a few very cheap Tillandsia shops and I don't think I can stop myself from recollecting Tillandsia.
It's still very cold outside but I managed to go outside to garden. The moss garden is looking great. Not sure about the other perennials.
Indoors, everything is doing great. I have a lot of double lavender and white butterfly peas growing up.
It's been a few weeks since I went shopping, I want to go take a look at the prices for airplants at Merrifield . If it's above the price of $3 per plant, I might just order online. My favorites are the clumping/lumping, tiny miniatures, and STACKING Tillandsia.

Ah, I forgot to post this.
I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite music from each month. First installment. They aren't in a particular order, just my favorite few music pieces/songs I wanted to share. I think 4 pieces for each month. This month 2 because I never ended up finishing it.
December 2022:
Non-lyrical pieces - 2
1) An American In Paris by Gershwin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Another pretty common piece, this one for symphonic orchestra (I think). I mean, it's a good piece, nice jazzy parts in the middle. But.... my favorite part? The beginning. About a minute in, the camera zooms in on...... some little honky-things. I ADORE the honks. It's such as cute sound, and the "honk honk honk" gets me EVERY time. I love it SO much.
2) In the Forest of the King by Pierre La Plante - https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Another piece for concert band. Three movements, in the fast-slow-fast form of 3 movements. They are variations on French folk songs. It's a pleasant piece to listen to. My favorite is definitely King Dagobert; the 6/8 really makes it vibrant and bouncy.
I hope you enjoyed this short blog

Please comment if you have an idea of what something could be.
I saw very many ferns and mosses but sadly I can't find an easy way to ID them, iNaturalist's moss identification in Costa Rica sucks, it always tries saying it's Elaphoglossum peltatum. So I dump the images here. If you know what they are, please let me know. Some might be leafy liverworts or other stuff.

An entire plant (outside) goes missing:
While I was gone, a large plant of Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus SuperTrouperâ„¢ Scarlet) , which was transplanted a month or so ago, went completely missing. There were no leaves, stems, or anything left behind. At the time of dissapearance, it was about double this size:
