Tidied the Arid Zone display area, removed plants that were not looking so good and doing some planting. Gently moving stones aside when digging in or out. I planted some Aeonium 'Blushing Beauty' and Callisia navicularis

Watered plants in that were planted. Taking a few Kalanchoe specimens from the Service House to pathology to be tested, because of suspected virus circles on leaves. K. pubescens, K. velutina, K behariensis 'Oak Leaf', and K. blossfeldiana Calandiva Series.
