How old is your jade plant?
I read they need to be 35/40 years before they flower but idk much about them other than what I read from google.

I honestly don’t know on some of the jade plant ages. I know one is about 20 yrs old and the other 3 are older than that. They all bloom but maybe could be longer

I've lots of lillies appearing too.
And they're being attacked by the red Lily beetles already.
I'm at WAR with the feckers lol.
They can totally decimate the lillies if left unchecked.
Like the lily equivalent of red spider mite.
I've killed about 40 so far. I check plants several times a day.
Bastards.

With Spider Mites I've taken Hot Peppers, cut them up, put them in a little water, let them simmer not boil for 20 minutes. Let cool, strain the juice.

Spray plant with Jet of water, then spray with your Hot Pepper Juice, make sure get under the leaves. Spray again in couple days I think I sprayed 3X.

Leaves will look bad but will come back nice a green.

Spider Mites hate water. Fungus Gnats like water. So be vigilant.

Asimina triloba, aka American paw-paw. We grew three of these starting from seed in 2019, this is the first year they've got flowers. Maybe we'll get lucky and have some fruits in the fall...

These are probably my favorite plants in the whole garden. If you're in the eastern USA and don't know about paw-paws, I honestly feel bad for you...

We started a business selling stuff and I have a Greenhouse so I have Flowers.

I like learning and what I have I like seeing what I can do.

I'm also raising European Nightcrawlers that I'm selling as Fishing Worms.

Is that rudbeckia? Lovely plant. I've some in back garden, nowhere flowering yet tho. Weather has been abysmal.

Sorry, I'm not sure what it is. I tried running through the Seek app but it didn't recognize it because of the butterfly on the flower.
