I will have all the pot-heads at my house, don't worry. We'll leave you alone
Don't know why but this image came into me head.....had to search for it
The movie was about a planet short of water............geeze she is a gorgeous woman. he's not bad either I suppose
I found a pitcher plant!!!
It's not in the greatest health, but let's see if I can get it happy again...
About this time of year the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria has their flower festival.........

I think it had to do with red soil and lack of water. I go off on tangentsDon't know why but this image came into me head.....had to search for it![johon-carter.jpg]()
This is a photo from one of my gardens. I also have some luck with house plants, but the outdoor gardens are my therapy and joy in the summer. I always hate to see the cold weather arrive in the fall.

Are you going to feed the pitcher plant live insects? If it were my plant, I'd name it Molly.
Just curious. Do you grow any cannabis plants?
I think Juicy nicknamed it Hanniballus The Canniballus..........

What do you call the tall purple balls? I planted some three summers ago and they've reseeded themselves since. (but nearly all are coming up white). I can't remember what they're called.
All white? I'd call it a racist little weed and pull it out.
You need more mineral in your soil. When seedlings a diluted mixture of Potassium Permanganate when small seedlings.
Ha Ha.............purple balls. Don't employ a gardener known as ...........
Before your time...and people wonder how I find this old stuffffff
Now we all know the one eyed trouser snake .....

I don't know the scientific name, but they are called cleomes. My selection are purple, dark purple, white, light pink and dark two toned pink. I have them in several gardens.
Part of the reason I got so excited to find it is that we have a bit of a bug problem in the house cuz our windows aren't very well sealed. I just make sure there's enough water in the pitchers and the bugs find their own way in.
Uh... PPL patient here!!!

I presume one of the Ps is for prescription. And I presume it has something to do with medical cannabis. But other than that, the PPL loses me.Uh... PPL patient here!!!

Personal production license.
It means I can grow my own legally in the state.
Sounds like an eminently civilised place to live!
I have been cold stratifying Leonuris cardiaca seeds in the freezer for the last 4 months and I finally got them planted out into flats in my greenhouse.
I did manage to find 3 seedlings at a rare herb nursery online and they set me back $45 plus express shipping.
I have them planted out in a prepared part of the garden with a hefty cage around them.
I also planted out into flats Spilanthes olercea seeds.
Very excited about this herb not only for its local anesthetic properties but its adaptogenic and antibacteria.
Vegetable gardens are looking well. It is the only time of the year we can grow European vegetables.
The wet season we switch to vegetables with a Asian/equatorial origin that can cope with the 100% humidity
100 degree C heat and the enormous pest pressure.
If I want organic vegetables I use fine mesh row covers or small draw string bags made of the same fabric for things like capsicums and cucumbers.
Some years even snake beans need netting/bagging to stop them being stung by banana spotting beetles.

I have a seedling experiment going on at the moment.............I just can't seem to get rid of the bug to create stuff. Still build even though I don't really need to, even at 61 started a new biz in automated entryways.
But also I love flowers with perfume........which is sadly lacking in floral arrangements these days. What is the first thing a person does when presented with a bouquet of flowers? Yup............flowers look good these days, but the other 50% is scent...the perfume which takes you back to when you were young.
I've already got it lined up with the local fruit shop guys to place a few stems in buckets along with a stem of Kangaroo Paw or Rottnest Island Daisy...Aussie natives along side of Carnations....Not wrapped in Cellophane, just a rubber band. I think the scent of fresh flowers beside the checkout will be more of a draw than flowers with no perfume.
After all, we perfume ourselves better than nature intended us too...apparently....cept me.... : )
