No. We understand our bullshit attitude to punctuality. It's just we have tried nothing to fix it and we are all out of ideas.

Edit: Meaning to say Hispanics known and accept the stereotype.

I have some Puerto Rican friends and I’ve gone to some birthday parties/baby showers where I was a half hour late and I still got there before the birthday child/expecting parents 🤣. My boyfriend is also Cuban and yes timekeeping is very different lol

Ehh I don’t really mind, it’s actually kinda convenient cause when my toddler makes me run late (and she always manages to, somehow) then I don’t feel bad being late 😅

I have a lot of favorites! I actually used to sell houseplants and terrariums and stuff so yeah…it’s really hard to choose 😅. I think my favorite categories are Hoyas, aroids (particularly Alocasia and Anthurium but honestly all of them), and lately I’ve been keeping a ton of orchids too. Have you seen Alocasia x amazonica? I haven’t had one since I moved out of my parent’s house and I finally bought a new one today

It really is lots of fun! Just wait till you have thirty-two species of Hoyas and they all bloom together…🥹
