Introducing the variegated century plant, also known as Agave americana 'Variegata or Agave americana 'Marginata', a stunning variety of Agave americana.

Watering Needs 

This variegated century plant, like other succulents, is drought-tolerant by nature, and its fleshy, water-storing leaves can hold a lot of water.  However, their root structure is easily susceptible to overwatering, so make sure that you don't overwater, as it can lead to root rot and fungal infections.

A true Meghan Quinn masterpiece!! 😂✨
Format: Audiobook
🎧 Rules for the Summer by Meghan Quinn Narrated by Stella Hunter, Shane East, Cassandra Medcalf & Gary Furlong A true Meghan Quinn masterpiece!! 😂✨ I laughed my a** off from beginning to end, and the narration honestly could not have been more perfect. Every narrator absolutely nailed their character and brought all the chaotic, hilarious, emotional, and spicy moments to life so well that I never wanted this audiobook to end. And the accents?! Absolute chef’s kiss 🤌🔥 They made the listening experience even more fun and immersive. Theo and Henley were such a fun couple to follow. The banter, chemistry, tension, and absolute ridiculousness between them had me smiling nonstop. And Aunt Kitty and Rupert? ICONIC. Honestly, they stole so many scenes for me and added even more humor and heart to the story. This book had me laughing out loud one minute and fanning myself the next 🥵😂 The spice was definitely A LOT… but honestly, are we even surprised when it comes to a Meghan Quinn book? She always delivers the perfect mix of humor, romance, chaos, and steam. The audiobook production was phenomenal. Stella Hunter, Shane East, Cassandra Medcalf, and Gary Furlong made this story feel so immersive and entertaining. Their performances elevated an already fantastic story into one of those audiobooks you just never want to stop listening to. Absolutely loved this story and highly recommend the audiobook version! Happy Reading/Listening 🎧📚

Perfectly hilarious summer romcom
Format: Paperback
Rules For The Summer by Meghan Quinn is a romcom you’ll want to pack in your bag to read by the pool or beach this summer. You also can’t go wrong with the audiobook narrated in duet by Stella Hunter and Shane East with Melissa Metcalf and Gary Furlong as the side characters. They were perfectly cast and had me laughing out loud as the characters found themselves in even more ridiculous situations. The dynamic between Theo and Renley was so entertaining. I loved their game of Truth or Dare. Once they started falling for the other, they did not hold back on their spicy times. Not only do we get the delicious tension and chemistry between Theo and Renley, but we also get a front row seat to Theo and Rupert’s friendship and their amazing banter as well as the amusing dynamic between Rupert and Renley’s aunt. * Mix up Meet Cute * Small Town Romance * Neighbors * Forced Proximity * A list of rules * Opposites Attract * He Falls First Pick this one up if you are looking for a fun, light-hearted romcom with plenty of spice.

Cute story, over-the-top narration (in a bad way)
Format: Audiobook
3.5/5 This was a fun, light weekend read with some great buddy humor, a worlds-collide storyline, and the whimsical side characters that Quinn does so well. The pacing felt a little uneven at times, and I was disappointed to see the story was light on comeuppance in the end. One thing I really struggled with about the heroine was how frequently this ostensibly strong, gritty character just quit when things got difficult. If she quit everything hard until a man was there to push her not to, how can she be surprised no one took her seriously?? The thing I struggled with the most, however, was in the audio version of this book. I really love Shane East and was glad to see him narrating another Quinn book. He's so good at the "over the top" joyous man-child character, and he did this one justice. HOWEVER, how he did the intimate scenes in this book was way way way way way too over-the-top. It gave seventies porn vibes-level cheese to me, and I wound up skipping most of them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Format: Audiobook
Rules for the Summer by Meghan Quinn was the perfect mix of hilarious, emotional, and ridiculously swoony. Meghan Quinn never misses when it comes to romantic comedy, and this book had me smiling from beginning to end. The banter between the characters was absolute perfection — witty, flirty, and laugh-out-loud funny. But underneath all the humor was a genuinely heartfelt story filled with chemistry, tension, vulnerability, and so much charm. The slow burn was done so well, and every interaction made me fall harder for the characters. What I loved most was how effortlessly Meghan Quinn balanced comedy with emotional depth. One minute I was laughing out loud, and the next my heart was aching for them. The romance felt authentic, addictive, and completely unforgettable. If you love summer romance, amazing chemistry, hilarious dialogue, and characters you can’t stop thinking about, Rules for the Summer is an absolute must-read. Another Meghan Quinn favorite for

3.75⭐️The audio is great!
Format: Audiobook
3.75⭐ In true MQ fashion, we get another great romcom, although not quite in the favorites list, but still very enjoyable. The audio is fantastic on this one. It’s Duet (full cast) narrated by Shane East & Stella Hunter with Gary Furlong & Cassandra Medcalf. Theo is such a green flag & he waves it proudly. He’s charming & persistent in the best way. He’s supportive & ready to go to bat for those he cares for. It takes him some time to learn to go to bat for himself, but he eventually does (when it comes to standing up to his dad). Renley is determined to make something of herself with this candy shop renovation. Although a little prickly in the beginning due to the mix-up of her looking for a financer but matching on an app actually for a fiancé, she does eventually warm up to Theo. She still holds her cards close to her chest though, but Theo is adamant to win her over. Kitty & Rupert nearly stole the show. Kitty is a bit over the top with her antics, but Rupert had me cackling so much. They’re both chaotic & you can’t help but laugh. I loved the Truth or Dare portions. It really bought the steam & tension. I did enjoy that it was a slow burn romance between Renley & Theo so when they finally get together, it’s quite satisfying. All in all, it’s a really good time & I highly suggest the audio.
