saturday; tillandsias
Nov. 10th, 2007 11:33 pmA rather productive Saturday....
This morning I raked the backyard for about 2 hours. Then headed to
queenmaab's to help her paint a couple rooms. We didn't finish, but I think we did get a lot done. (Stupid paint was taking forever to dry.)
I don't know what the hell was going on, but on the drive back, the section on Central from Karner Rd. to the light to turn in to Kohl's/McDonalds was totally blocked by cops. I didn't really see an accident there.. uneless they were blocking a huge area so you didn't see the mangled human bodies D: Anyway, I ended up cutting through the Kohl's lot, going through the Price Chopper plaza, then turning out at that light. Sheesh. And nothingo n the Capital News 9 page yet... so I really wonder what it was.
I've been meaning to post photos of the Tillandsias that I've taken in the past couple weeks. Kept forgetting, but here we go...
November 3 - I watered them and took a couple snaps. Put them back on their table and turned on the fan for air circulation. T. victoria is producing one flower and a bud.

November 10 - Three flowers already produced on the T. victoria (two starting to whither in the photo; third removed) with three more buds coming out. I think the T. caput medusea purple has grown a bit more. Flowers on the T. stricta x tenifolia are further out of the bracts, but I'm not sure if any of the flowers have opened.

They're all still alive! :D Which is good. Hopefully they continue to stay that way.
