Persistence of Blossoms   

Clifford at 3:09 pm, April 22nd, 2006

This lovely crop of white cyclamen flowers is typical of this plant. It faithfully does this every year, with little encourangement:

cyclamen

Quite a pleasure. I think I should plant some directly into the soil one day.

    A good way to start the day is to feast the eyes on such :)

    Uncle Al grows colored showy primrose to bedevil the idiot Housing Association (nothing stops it from invading everywhere) and purple Devil’s Trumpet (Datura metel) for its its insane blooming and blooms. This year a 15-foot tall 6-foot wide trellis went in the backyard. Already coming up are one Aristolochia brasiliensis with promised 100 in^2 flowers and one snail vine. The first vine to cover the trellis wins.

    How many physicists are also gardeners, do you think?
