Five Photos for 2018
So I rarely post new photos, mainly because I’m lazy and have better things to do. More plants mean more work or something like that.
I will make a post of my favorite plant photos of the year later. Each of these photos came from my phone, which has seen a lot more photographic action lately. These are the 5 photos I chose to sum up my 2018 experience.
*Spolier Alert* - Most are not plant related
A perfect sign at one my favorite beaches.
A pile of ashes in front of my classroom. This was from just a tiny little fire. A baby fire. Guess what? London Bridge is not the only thing burning down.
I teach middle school. This sign sums up everything both amazing and not-so-amazing about middle school. This is pretty much every day.
A motherfuckin cork oak growing on the side of the road in Concord, CA. How many thousands of people drive by and don’t get it?
Meanwhile, in the garden, every day be like…. How you doin?
Araucria araucana, the Monkey Puzzle Tree in Kew Gardens, London. Though not a succulent, the geometric arrangement of the sharp leaves is very appealing, and could be compared to an Echeveria or an Agave. These natives of Chile are related to more commonly known Pine trees.
Phylica pubescens is a shrub from South Africa’s west coast, near Cape Town. It belongs to the family Rhamnaceae. It is notable for its soft feathery foliage, and when it comes into flower it develops incredibly feathery white bracts which catch the light admirably and set the plant aglow. The tiny white flowers can be seen in the close-up photo.
There were many photos purged from my archive because they were deemed NSFW. The posts just don’t exist anymore and I’m not even sure which posts were deleted. Safe to say they were probably all plant pics.
Here’s one that wasn’t flagged. Talk about female presenting nipple.
I will be joining the log off protest tomorrow, and fold that into a little Tumblr vacation. Might this be the last time I post? Who knows what will happen?
This is the very first post I made on this blog over seven years ago. How perfect would it be if it was also the last post? The yin and yang of it. The symmetry.
It just seems like Tumblr has changed so much and I’m not sure if this is the best use of the limited time I have left in this body.
If you want to binge plant pics check my archive - it’s full and not going anywhere, I hope.
In this alpine glasshouse the southern African bulbous perennial Massonia pseudoechinata is flowering. This plant requires a well-drained growing media and a sunny, protected situation.
