I’ve added eight new orchid pictures to my Orchids 2009 gallery. They’re the ones toward the end of the page, starting with Neofinetia-falcata-1. Neofinetia falcata is a miniature vandaceous orchid, sweetly scented, although the scent is more obvious at night than during the day. Stanhopea oculata is a rather large plant, that blooms out of […]

. . . are available on The Orchid Place. I have a new “Garden 2009” gallery uploaded, as well as a “Roses 2009” gallery. I’m really beginning to love the Jalbum software I use to compile these galleries. At least Jalbum doesn’t force me to store them on their servers and link over to them. […]
Get Your Rose PrOn

While we blew our entire holiday weekend working on the old house, three of my roses at the new place decided to bloom. Rose prOn ahead: proceed with caution.
First Rose of the Year

As much as I dislike orange, this one’s not so bad. It was just there among the foundation plantings the previous owner had. Judging by all the other roses, some I planted, and others that were already there, it should only be another week or two before the place starts to pop with blooms. The […]

A funny thing happened on the way to the orchids. Some of you may know that my brother died roughly a year and a half ago. Remember all that bullshit with Nicky railing on and on for weeks about me fucking his corpse, then his ashes? My brother used to host my orchid website for […]
OT: Match the Flower to the Fruit

It was pretty slow in The Land of Nitwits yesterday, after the Polymancer thing got resolved, so I took the opportunity to mess around with my food blog, and Foodbuzz. I’m still trying to figure out the nuances of how Foodbuzz works, but hey, FoodTV gets boring with all the reruns. I got a little […]
OT: Early May Garden Pr0n
Posted in garden porn, tagged garden porn on May 7, 2009 | 7 Comments »
The previous owners of this house left a bunch of stuff sitting out over the winter in pots, just plopped among the foundation plantings. Many didn’t survive. Some were annuals; the rest were perennials. I planted the surviving roses weeks ago, along with four new ones I bought, and most of them are now in […]
Garden Pr0n: Amaryllises
Posted in garden porn, tagged garden porn on March 2, 2009 | 30 Comments »
These are finally open enough to take pictures. The red one’s rather ordinary, but at least it’s a really dark, velvety red, instead of a brash red, or worse, an orangey red. The white one with the red edges and speckles is a bit of a disappointment. The flower is a “double,” but even after […]
OT: Aster Garden Pr0n
Posted in garden porn, tagged garden porn on September 18, 2008 | 8 Comments »
It was daylight, but overcast, and I had the flash turned off. I could have messed around with the brightness, contrast, and gamma correction, but I rather like the photo the way it is. It looks like the flower is floating in the darkness. The nifty thing is that I originally planted an aster years […]
OT: Christmas in September (Garden Porn)

My order from one of my favorite orchid dealers (Oak Hill Gardens, in Dundee, IL) arrived today. I received five plants, in pristine condition, for under $100, including shipping. All five are species, although Oak Hill has a lot of hybrids, as well. They are: Oncidium splendidum (the one with the thick leaves, back left) […]
