These postings will center around things that I encounter that are interesting, beautiful, and sometimes the spiritual connection between all these things. This blog is for myself, perhaps more than for you, the reader. It is to remind myself of the passage of time and reflect on the beauty and meaning of the days.

Miniature Bird of Paradice
On a recent trip to Calloway Gardens I saw so many beautiful plants that it made me salivate. This is a miniature bird of paradise and you can easily see the "bird" in this one. Mary G said that on a recent trip to South America she saw forests of these. I guess they may have been the regular sized ones which can get as big as trees, although there are quite a few sizes and colors. They are native to South Africa but have been distributed worldwide and are mostly accociated with tropical areas. The primary thing that keeps pot grown birds from blooming is insufficient light. They prefer full sun.
