Miss Cellaina? typo in the COW 73 pic. Sorry to nitpick.
ReplyDeleteI didn't make the graphic, so a little down and dirty editing now leaves it worse than ever. But my name is spelled right!
ReplyDeleteI spend a lot of time puttering in the "garden" - I have around 8 or 9 scattered around the property. I always fill-in here and there with annuals, but at $29 a pop + shipping for a petunia, it would have to do much more than glow in the dark before I gave it a try. That's way more than the hardy perennials I already have and rivals the value of a decent Rhodo, Viburnum, or Azalea. It'll be interesting to see if they catch on.
ReplyDeleteA glowing report on the petunias ... but this writer still worries that tinkering with DNA may result in the rise of the plants ... and if you think zombies and Martians (ark, ark) are scary, remember the bloody triffids.
ReplyDeleteRoving gangs of potted petunias menacing people with their pots, their roots tripping us up at every crosswalk AND THE SUN HOT GLOW FROM THEIR BIO-LUMINANCE burning both of each of our retinas ... I tell ya, you just don't know where it will end.
FENCE OFF your potted plants now, especially the creepers.
To think some people used to sing to them.
They'll be humming a different tune now I bet.
Just spent the best prt of an hour looking for the typo.
ReplyDeleteFrom where I stand I can't see those Seven, or Six, Sisters.
It is hard to express in polite and acceptable words, my feelings on anything to do with the British royalty, so let it suffice at this point that I will label them all leeches.
Not Princess Kate, I think she is lovely ... if perhaps a gold digger.
A 33 minute video is too cumbersome for me over morning cappuccini ... I'll let my imagination wander over all the possible scenarios.
Unless 'someone' could do a bullet point list ???
WilliamRocket, I fixed the typo, but it shouldn't take an hour to see where it once was.
ReplyDeleteThere is a bullet point list linked in the article, but I looked it up for you. https://www.eurasiagroup.net/issues/top-risks-2024
