All Front and No Knickers

Cully looks either like he's having an attack of ennui or is utterly exhausted.  Either way, he can affect this hipsterically idiotic pose because he didn't have to sweat for any of this.  Or work to receive the tax refund that fueled the pot binge that precipitated the deck transformation. 

I'm surrounded by pot

It's a very nice place to hang out day and night with good breeze, a sense of privacy, and a good micro-climate for the plants.

Too bad the floor boards and supporting joists are rotting.  Nice top side, weak supports.  But hey - one I have to look at daily.  The other is really other people's problems. 

Regularly Scheduled Round of Paranoia

So I'm still moving things from the left to the right then back again.  Now 5 inches back.  All of which is never really thought out 'cause where's the fun in planning?  It's the doing that is meaningful.  So as part of this turning in the vegetative gyre, I moved one of my Brugmansia (the purchased one, not the one from my awesome neighbor Julie) and took cuttings from one that wasn't doing so well.

Of course after the fact is the best time to read up on Angel's Trumpet - and I only did so because I thought that growers should get on it about creating a BLACK Angel's Trumpet.  Which they already have.  Gorgeous.

Brugmansia x flava "Purple Princess"

Totally gorgeous pictures on the website from which I got the photo above.  It's in German, but no problem because 1) English is derived from the German and therefore, don't we all speak the language? and 2) google translate is good times to use.

I'm pretty desperate to have this plant - oh, well.  Thanks internet for supplying me with pictures.

But the coral and red ones (which I am also now kind of obsessed with) are also quite AMAZING.

Brugmansia x candida "Joli"

Can you imagine the whole tree covered with this?  I can't even . . .

Anyway, after reading all of the dire warnings and predictions regarding the IMMINENT demise of those with brugmansia in their yard, I'm pretty sure that my eye itch is an indication of my poisoning. 

Good thing there's always new crack to be entertained by.  One last shot of the poison!
