trying again, hopefully this time no "if you were looking for an image, it was probably deleted"

old work using the SDXL base model

"flying spaghetti monster" in da house (I love finding a prompt set where I can change just a couple words at the end and get a whole new line of weirdness!)

• Inspiration for some prompts I used to create these AI images - https://www.reddit.com/r/Fractalish/comments/1w00ghy/doilies_my_grandma_made/
• In pics 1 and 2, by my southern US rural grandma. Pic 3 by my Manchester England-born great grandma.

back story:

• I got it in 2020 as a free dried out cutting, no roots just old stump and pink & brown leaves.
• Pic 2 is from 2021 when it was newly rooted, after 7 months of trying. What finally worked (after noticing the technique in a Renny video) is that I sliced off part of the stump to get to fresh tissue, then dipped it in rooting hormone powder.
• It remained a single head until well into last year.
• Pic 1 is from today, the result of a successful head chop late last year.

In spring I propagated several large offsets, then repotted this main portion in a wide container to encourage better rooting on the remaining large offsets. Now it has a bunch of new offsets.

Pics:

• 'Big Dipper', offset from Renny in 2021
• glomerata (I assume), no-tag offset from an Etsy seller in 2023

Pod parents:

• Pics 1, 2, 3, 6, 8. Spectrum or Helios, sown summer 2020, lost track when I bumped the seed sowing pot and jumbled everything
• Pics 4, 5. 007 or Sakai B, sown spring 2021, lost track later after transplanting to community pots
• Pic 7. lost track, except not from my own crosses so must be from Renny seed

picta types are a little slow for me from seed, but this one has been worth the wait. The pod parent is either 'Star Trek' or picta 'Orange Blast'.

mommy i want to go home now
