There be days like this

 


And I have discovered (well found the answer on line where it was all along) the meaning of one of my favorite blogger's names, By Stargoose and Hanglands. He describes the root of those terms in "What's in a Name."

    My violet is pausing in its blooming. Yours is lovely as is the orchid.

      Thanks...I finally gave them all a dose of liquid fertilizer (Miracle Grow). I usually do that when I first bring them inside, but had other things happening.

    Your flowers look great, according the The Bard, A rose by another name would smell as sweet.” (Just thinking about meaning of names etc.)

      That made me wonder at how orchids came to have their name.

      Just the same old plants...which have a few changes over the years.

      Sometimes I nudge myself into believing I can check something out and it will only take a minute or two. And then there was today...many checking things out, and looking for an article on FB that disappeared before I got to write down the name of the book I was interested in...I must have looked at a thousand FB articles before that one finally reappeared!

      Thanks. I do feel better having their natural colors, as well as the increased oxygen.
