Okay, if anyone is interested, blog link shows the first two years of Celia's growth, showing why I love this plant so much. Keep in mind that most pitcher plants either have no pigment, or veins that deepen to burgundy with age, with various shades of autumn leaf between, maybe white windows to screw with insects. Or look like meat. Celia has decided to look like a tropical drink instead :).

Psst, @fernfren hoping you swing by, say hi.

You have said something that gives someone hope. You have done something that makes someone smile, even years later. You are remembered. You have warmed someone's heart.

A post about my recovery garden and how it is like Persephone, the goddess of spring and wife of Death, inspired by the Page of Pentacles. Also, some haunted moss and a good look into my frog’s golden eyes.

@fernfren (more frog pics on the blog, not sure if you've seen them all)

Some of my plants, some of my art.

Oh no, Joe's coming home to find a local job in like two days. He's gonna drink all my coconut water, oh no I have to share :(

I have so many pics of this flower (my first pitcher plant flower, from a purple pitcher plant) that I thought I knew what my favorite pic was. I'm not even sure I've seen this pic before, just found it looking for art reference photos. I just had to stop and show it off.

A pack of Pomeranians is called a fluffle. They attack at bedtime, when you try to go sleepy. They wear you down with blanket wrestling, and then finish you off with nuggles.

My samples came :). They look better than I thought they would, the last bag I got from them wasn't nearly this good, and I didn't expect the scarf (flytrap digestive glands recolored) to be this vivid. Got a bit of a Tom Cruise smile on the mask, but that's okay it's not the final product. This is just to do a little research, wearing and swinging by dispensaries. The one on the corner already said he's interested in seeing samples. Now I need to find who I really want to use for bulk printing.

Sunny and Sky have done their first molt, so it's a little easier to guess at gender (cere color, band of flesh on their beak). Looks like Sky is a hen, no real surprise her cere was always iffy. Hard to tell in lutino birds (yellow) but it looks like that's lavender with a blue undertone, so that's at least one male and one female. Breeding will be a thing. Next year, when they're mature enough to be good parents.

Also, I love how they look against the purple wall, those colors just pop.

Looks like Joe's going to make Friday his last day of working across the country from his family, and will focus on local work instead. This will be good. He might have a cut in wages, but he has NYC experience, so should do fairly well job hunting in the area.
