Celia is blooming! She's my fav pitcher plant, a weed found in some moss I bought, often does some tequila sunrise colors, thus Celia named after Celia Hodes on Weeds. Now I will be able to self pollinate her, and find clues to her parentage by examining what comes up, as well as maybe get a similar but even more beautiful plant :). I haven't seen a mostly veinless pitcher that produced such color, but I am only a dabbler.

In the fall I took rhizome cuttings of four and five leaf clover leaves, and I thought I was finally getting a four leaf clover in the pot, but nope. 6. Mutations are so cool.
Awwe, my tiny little micro tomato already wants to bloom. Orange Hat tomato seeds from Baker's Creek.
Found it. I will use this to clear out the overgrowth in areas I then fork the seeds into, before the cold rains begin and the ground gets too hard. All of my gathered wildflower seeds are thrown together, so I do it again in the spring. I'll sharpen it tonight.
I think I'll wear my "I was stoned in Salem" shirt.
My 7 yr old daughter and I fought over who got to hang this in their bedroom, so I decided to stick it in the living room, right next to Grandpa's pic. I've thought many times how the old man must feel about sitting over me in my recliner as I smoke my pipe, just like he did, except my pipe made me goofy. Decided to push his boundaries a little, make him part of the party.
Sunny and Sky update (still skittish, so blurry pics). So, Sunny is a lutino parakeet, lacking melanin like an albino, but has the yellow pigment, thus solid gold. This means the cere won't turn bright blue if a boy, it looks a bit lavender, so we're guessing boy. Sky, the blue one, is a yellowface opaline, and maybe also male. His yellow pigment also put a splash of green on his wee little rump. If I bred him with the right female, I might get the "rainbow" mutation.

Nature, science, and art are super cool. Terribly sorry for the stuff that doesn't fit.
She/they cishet.
