Nothing feels more personal and special than opening a card with someone’s own handwriting inside.

Earlier on the expedition we found the most beautiful flower, and here, my friends, is the biggest: Rafflesia arnoldi seen in full bloom today in the Sumatran jungle. This is the largest flower on earth and one of the greatest wonders of the natural world.

I have several large pots of Gerbera daises that while hardy I put them in the small cold greenhouse and they bloom off and on through the winter. 😍

#Colocasia esculenta aka #taro

The first frosts will arrive, so it's time to harvest the taro. This was my first attempt, starting with just one tuber, and I got over 2 kg! Fantastic. 😀🌱

I even kept a few young plants for the 2026 crop.
