This Little Trooper

 

Always good for a spot of color that was once a stow a way in pot of a larger

specimen. That specimen only survived about four years and yet this survivor

lives on.

From Props To Pot

 

 

This trailing African Violet cutting was given to me by my next door neighbor and today

it gets it's roots in a new environment of something more solid than water.

More Than One Way..

 to start a plant. Let me introduce to you, the Bulblet.

The ripe red berry is from a Clivia plant and when pealed it's bulblet is revealed.

It is my understanding that I will have to peal off the thin skin off the shown

here, after an over night in some water and then plant the bulblet in some potting 

medium and off we go and with time, we shall see.

Final Reveal

 Now it stands alone and should show it's colors in the months to come.

One Or Two

-Alert -first of all this picture is just a simulation. By the time I grabbed my phone

to catch this picture of two house geckos doing a stare down or perhaps a no, after you,

no, after you I insist. While this long legged, long winged, long bodied insect

doesn't seem to be phased at the least if it has a future.

By the time I get a picture the gecko on the right crawls off to it's regular hiding spot. So

now there is just the one gecko on the left on a stare down with the long legged, long winged, 

long bodied insect that still doesn't seem to be phased at the least or perhaps just paralyzed with 

fear of being a snack for this night creature, perhaps feeling lucky it wasn't going to be torn apart by 

two night creatures.

I wasn't about to stick around to see what direction their fates take flight.

A New Interloper

 

This rather average looking cat has some above average vocal abilities. This cat likes

to call and respond with me and either of us can equally be the initiator.

Before and After

 This Bougainvillea needs an intervention.

This variegated Bougainvillea has nearly equal parts of at least five varieties

plant volunteers growing amongst it's self and it is I that will intervene.

 

 

-transitional-

Look ma, Camphor tree free.

Stay tuned! for minus the Virginia Creeper and Stink vines. 

So now the Bougainvillea can breath a little easier. As Winter's shorter hours commence, 

there will be blooms.
