Found Ceilia's pic from her younger days, the gradient I've been talking about.

Okay, decided to upload this one into the place where you can get stickers, magnets, the pink petals of a predatory plant on a miniskirt, maybe a dart board. (Adjusts glasses) Oh, maybe an art board.

Celia has started dropping pollen from her anthers, so I pollinated her and took some celebratory shots with the good camera :).

More on how this flower has designed itself to prevent self pollination, unless some fool like me interferes, found here:

Poor Celia is looking scraggly, I divided her and then Romeo ate four of her remaining pitchers. But, she's showing me her flowers will have lots of color, even when her leaves are still green from dormancy :).

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.

Check me out, about to harvest lettuce for my sandwich in the dead of winter. First time I've eaten it, though I've given leaves to the birdie birds. Micro tomatoes are still green, maybe next time.

I admit to occasionally opening my own video to relax. Spores being released from a pink oyster mushroom. They are bland, compared to the pearl oyster mushrooms, but this, this is so nice.

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.

That's better. I don't think I'll let the men decide how my gardening tools get stored again.

Now that I'm putting leftover bird chop to the worms (veggies and leafy greens with a little seed and shredded paper as a foraging toy), the worms have begun growing their own food.

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.
