Early December Random pictures

We had our first killing frost today. The Fuschia and Dahlia are toast... until May.

Here is a fuzzy sunrise through the bedroom window on Thanksgiving Day.

The Rhododendron X Aleksander Isayevich looks like it's going to be blooming just about all winter long. Here are the first ones to open. Smells great, especially on a sunny day.

I ordered a couple more Pygmy Drosera this fall. They come as gemmae, which are very tiny. Getting them sown took quite an expenditure of effort. They're just germinating now. Shown is Drosera omissa and a standard size Bic pen for size comparison. By July they'll be full sized bug eating monsters the size of quarters!

Back to grading...

My slow growing smaller rhodie up and wilted. I get the feeling the roots might have been too wet, which is a bit baffling because I try to let it dry out before watering.. they both got a pretty bad case of leaf scorch though.
