Check this out:
Normally, Christmas cactuses have two sides (and two ends), but this one has three ends. This is a cutting of a pink-flowering Christmas cactus. I used to think it was an Easter cactus, but nope: the flowers look just like those of my pink-flowering Thanksgiving cactus. ...read more

Check this out:
This is a cutting of an extra-succulent pink-flowering Thanksgiving cactus. Normally segments are flat, but this one has three ends, with part of a fourth on the bottom (which may not be very visible, in the picture, if visible at all).

The above article talks about the Philodendron erubescens 'Pink Princess', and a scam with Philodendron 'Pink Congo'; it lets us know about how the prices have risen for pink plants. They're still high even as I write this.

We can only compost so much stuff at a time, and some things we don't want to compost, due to pathogens or whatever. So, I got an idea: Why not just burn it, and use it as ash in the garden? Works great so far. We already use a wood stove to burn wood into ash for the garden. Our compost thing i...read more

The link above is to an article about how researchers saw many electric eels intelligently work together to hunt prey. So, they say electric eels aren't just solitary predators after all.

Winco brand canned crushed pineapple tastes excellent, currently. Perhaps the best on the market. It tastes like Hawaiian pineapple, but it's a product of the Philippines.
