Kani Bucho, an office boss with an entire crab for a head, is the mascot for Yokobiki, a company that makes metal roller shutters for store windows.

They are all really similar. The flowers on this one reminded me of monkshood though, much more than delphinium. But the leaves aren't typical for the monkshood I know and also this was a publicly accessible flowerbed, so monkshood would be unexpected

I love all tall, stalked flowers. Delphinium, lupines, monkshood, larkspur, foxgloves. I love them all.

Flower people please help - when I saw these, I thought monkshood, but the leaves are more larkspur?

The main reason city streets are dangerous for children isn’t because of crime.

It’s because of cars.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was published OTD in 1979.

Douglas Adams: “Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
