so very tired...and picspam

[cornerofmadness]

but first a meme i got from ba4ever

'What will your obituary say?' at QuizGalaxy.com

doesn't that just sound like me?

Five hours of lab in one day = very tired COM.

so you asked for it...

new bed spread (ignore how badly i make beds and note the manga on the bedstand with Kuan Yin and Buddha looking on)

rocket dogs

cute clogs

for Silvrethorn, brain flowers

Feed Me Seymour (my bonsai strangler fig got out of control in the greenhouse while I was gone. If you don't hear from me you know i went in with scissors and never came back)

new windchime

okay now, you've heard me talk about the mystery flower. It was SUPPOSED to be a Love Lies Bleeding cultivar dating back to the 1500's. Here's a wiki article on it showing why i might want such a plant love lies bleeding note height, leaf structure and flower type.

Okay now I tell my students the reason we have scientific names is because only ONE thing in the world has that name mean while common names could refer to dozens of plants. Still, ancient cultivar aside, I can't imagine this ever getting the moniker Love Lies Bleeding. Does anyone out there know what it is?

what the heck am i?

OH, I LIKE IT ALL. Especially the frilly blue unknown flower and the bedspread.

And ishte sent me shoes to look at, too. What is it, girls' day out and I didn't get the memo?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you must have missed the memo


isn't it a neat flower. I hope to get seeds (only one out of 6 plants lived sadly)

[nowhere-winry.livejournal.com]

Same thing with the flowers I bought on line...and the one that grew is just sort of 'stalled'.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hmm that's bad. mostly it's my fault. I let two burn up in the starter pack before i got them into a pot and the others died while I was away

[nowhere-winry.livejournal.com]

Well, I lost two seeds...two I planted in the ground and never found again and Mom stuck two in a starter pack and only one came up. We put it in the ground and it stalled. I don't even know if it's topped three inches yet and the growing season's over half over by now.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's definitely stalled. I just found the bean and squash seeds I forgot to plant...

[nowhere-winry.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[ba4ever.livejournal.com]

Yep, we always wish we could die the funny kind of death.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

dont' we though

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

Love your shoes. I'm a huge fan of Rocket Dogs.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. We've never had them at our Macy's until this summer ...or maybe I just hate shoes so much I never noticed. Entirely possible

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

Your blue mystery flower is Nigella, aka Love-in-a-Mist. It's very pretty, but no, nothing like Love Lies Bleeding (not even the same family).

Great bedspread. Your bedroom looks so much more Oriental than mine. I'm jealous.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. I figured you would know. well i'll have seeds. This thing gets weird pods.


I like it. It was 50$ for Domestications. Not the world's best but it's pretty.

[flamingly-fey.livejournal.com]

Sorry to jump in, but that's the official name? I hadn't known that, thanks.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Nigella Damascena is the scientific name. Love-in-a-mist is the common

[flamingly-fey.livejournal.com]

Ooh, thanks. Now I know what to get for the windowboxes once I've settled in next summer....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

nods, might be hard to find. Reading online says they're unpopular because they're weird looking. i like them

[lyricnonsense.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I like the blue flowers! And the bedspread! All very nice. :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. The blue flowers have been identified

[tinpanalley.livejournal.com]

Yay for pictures! Your shoes and bedspread rock!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks, i figured you might like. you've occasionally asked for 'our space' pictures. maybe next time the bed won't be rumpled

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

*snicker* @ the obit

And I absolutely LOVE the bedspread and Rocket Dogs *wants*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Macys and the like carry Rocket Dogs (those I got at Marshalls outlet however and had to fix immediately since the elastic had been separated from teh shoe)

the bedspread was from Domestications catalog

"While awaiting a trial for lewd behavior, Dana died a hilarious death..."

Bwahahahahah! We would miss you terribly though.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

isn't that fun and thanks

[flamingly-fey.livejournal.com]

It's a blue cosmos, and a very healthy gorgeous one at that! Seriously, what how are you feeding tending it? Ours have never looked as good as that one!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

uh, i let rain hit it. That's it. Occassionally if it looks peaked i water it. I'm bad.

[flamingly-fey.livejournal.com]

Hm. I have no idea why ours are so thin compared to that, then... we've got a pretty lazziez-faire gardening policy here and they get the same treatment. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

maybe they like where they're at compared to yours who knows. Mom planted half her tomatoes at Grams half at her house, they get the same treatment. Gram's are fantastic mom's less so
