Yeah that's a little jungle you got going there! I like succulents, easy to grow and they look awesome. There is a huge variety of really cool succulents I wanna start a little terrarium with them inside.

Is that some kind of paraphernalia sitting on that chair young man?

@jrock420 here we go...

Cucaracha
Tradescantia, Commelinaceae: Tradescantia zebrina
Pharmacology: anodyne, antiherpetic, antiseptic, astringent, hemostatic
This creeping native spiderwort is distinguished by its variegated purple and silver leaves and small purple flowers. It is popular around the world as ornamental ground cover but few are aware of its medicinal properties. The fresh juice is used to combat hemorrhages and neuralgia of the face. To prepare, macerate leaves then apply juice to bleeding cuts or painful areas. Some folk remedies recommend using the plant for painful wrists caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. Take 1 to 3 leaves of this plant. Rinse and boil them until they turn pink, pour the water in a bowl and put your hands above the bowl when the steam cools to a comfortable temperature.

We use to call the green variety the wandering Jew and the one in the picture the wandering Moses.
Funny story, my dad bought this huge wandering Jew plant and broke it down and put in a bunch of glass planters, he made. He had some horrible skin reaction to the sap, which left his hands and arms covered in painful blisters and sores.
I have never owned one being afraid it would happen to me.

We always called it Wandering Jew. Folks would give cuttings as house warming presents, so it wandered from house to house like the Lost Tribes.

That makes sense! But I must ask, what about the jew fish aka Goliath grouper. I remember driving down to the keys and saying wtf, jew fish bridge. What kinda shit is this. It was funny but I still don't get the name. I've asked a few buddies that live in Florida and they always say I dunno.

Lol..wiki
Terminology
The Atlantic goliath grouper has been referred to as the jewfish. The name's origin is unclear, and may have referred to the flesh having a "clean" taste comparable to kosher food, been an insulting suggestion that the fish provided low quality meat and was "only fit for Jews", or that the word was simply a corruption of jawfish.[10] In 2001, the American Fisheries Society stopped using the term because of concerns that it was culturally insensitive.

Here is a picture of a Jewfish taken in northeast Florida.

These guy's estimated the size at approx 500lbs. with a length of 84" and girth at 70".

They were using Jack/Bonito fillet and 20/0 circle hooks and would paddle the bait out via Kayak.

The fish was released but I wonder if it would be edible (of course assuming the federal ban on taking them was lifted)?
