Advent Day I: Schlumbergera

Two of my Schlumbergera have started blooming today: the big red one in the sitting room that was the pod parent for the 2009 pollination (the pollen donor was an upright white); and one of the pink/magenta ones in the second floor bathroom.

Also new today: one of the small plants from the aforesaid pollination has buds. They have some color to them so I think they're going to take after Mom.

Advent Day I: the bogus tree chronicles

Roy set up the new bogus tree this afternoon. We stared at it aghast. It is a vile skimpy thing with an unsteady tippy base. Back in the box you go, O bogus tree of unspeakable loathsomeness.

 

I have proposed a visit to Kindy's or possibly Wal*Mart.
