Went to the zoo yesterday. Here are some picture. Some of plants, a few more of animals. Wollemi Pine – This plant was not looking too great earlier in the year but has recovered very well and I was happy … Continue reading

New Plant – Red Mangrove / Rhizophora mangle
Fairly inexpensive for a propagule like one of these so might be worth trying. They can (apparently, I’ve had these only for a number of hours now) tolerate a wide range of conditions from fresh (with extra Magnesium) to brackish … Continue reading
I’m back, a small update.
Maybe you haven’t noticed because of the Orchid posts that have been slowly popping up but I took a brief hiatus and now I’m back. I basically haven’t written anything new since about the 15th of February and I’m glad … Continue reading

Random pictures from the Toronto Zoo from December
These are some pictures I’d taken at the Toronto Zoo back in early December. Platycerium bifurcatum. Also note the Epipremnum aureum in the background taking on its mature split-leaf form that you’ll never see from one as a typical houseplant. … Continue reading

Picture Archives: Europe 2008 Part 2: The Netherlands, Switzerland & Italy.
Young Ginkgo biloba trees line a street in Wassenaar. Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam. I think I’d have appreciated this more now. Regardless, it was closed when I was there. Not such a huge deal at the time but in hind site … Continue reading
Fall’s come early this year
Not much to say here, snapped this picture of this maple today showing some nice late fall colour relatively early this year. Can’t see it so clearly here but many of the leaves have already dropped. This tree us usually … Continue reading
Pictures from earlier this year
Three pictures I’d taken earlier this spring but never got to posting. Digitalis ‘Pam’s Choice’ Acer japonica aconitifolium – A really cool tree. Wish I had space. Belamcanda chinensis
Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ Flowering
Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ The start of June is always marked by the flowering of the Ivory Silk Japanese Lilac, a considerably later flowering lilac than most. This tree is fast becoming a street tree locally … Continue reading
Assorted pictures from work
Euphorbia polychroma Pyrus calleryana ‘Aristocrat’ – Other than their unpleasant fragrance these trees are great. Petunia ‘Potunia Cappuccino’ – Playing off the pink and yellow seems to be the best way to bring out the best in this new Petunia. … Continue reading
Snowdrops & More
I went for a walk today to break in my new work shoes. Ouch. I should have been doing that a while ago but with only a days notice for starting… Well, three band-aids on my right heel, 2 on … Continue reading
