its a home grown pineapple people

good lordliest sweet thing you'll ever eat


note that the 'pines' of the pineapple are formed from
spirals of successive purple flowers....! wow!

single lady sprouts

i want my sprouts super fresh. who doesn't? they take about 5 days to grow.
i live alone, so rather than just grow one big jar of sprouts, I have taken to growing small amounts of sprouts in succession, in sweet wee recycled jam jars. just enough for one delicious frugal artist garden girl crunchy cheese and sprouts on wheat sandwich. and another is ready a few days later.
delicious!
oh my god! I'm rich! loaded!

rolling in the deep

and for more rolling in the deep, with adele, like we hear in the grocery store

fecund key west

oh, the heavenly scents

an ode to houseplants

oh spider plant, you tickle-ly thing
you spastic elegant
mother.
thanks for your ever-representing yet nonchalant over-productivity
for your make-do attitude
any salon or saloon, office or living room
will do
xoxo

spring blossoms in the sub tropics

I am really enjoying the process of learning the plants and trees of the sub-tropics of the Florida Keys. The subtropical trees can proceed in similar ways to types in temperate regions, though often with stunning gregariousness. Right now we have the pleasure of the BOMBAX CEIBA (silk cotton tree, Kapok) and the mystery yellow flowering tree in blossom. The flowers precede the leaves, creating a lovely graphic juxtaposition of the flowers to the branches/bark. Ah, flowers first, just like our friends back home, the red bud, apple, cherry, dog wood and magnolias....

oh dearest creative soul, thanks for your works.
