Another of my Pleioblastus species has started flowering. This is the
beautiful bright yellow&green leaved Pleioblastus auricomus. Only three flower heads are visible at the moment on a rather large clump of bamboo so the plant will probably survive for another year.

That's now two I'm going to have to replace.

Memo to self: do not remove dead leaves and culm sheaths when holding a pint glass of Old Peculier (or any other beer in any other amount within an open-topped container). Otherwise a rather interesting collection of invertebrates and vegetable matter (garnish?, salad?) is added to the beverage.

It's food Jim, but not as we know it.

It was SWMBO's and my weeding anniversary last week so we went out and bought some plants. She now has a prostate rosemary and I have a Phyllostachys violescens which was planted in its permanent home this afternoon.

That is rather versatile for a person of a presumably female persuasion.

Thanks for picking up my speeling misteak.

OTOH, you may find this wikipedia link illuminating.

I think my Facetious Meter is malfunctioning. I didn't even pick up on the "Weeding Anniversary."

And thanks for the anatomical enlightenment! It makes sense, since male anatomy, as I understand, develops from embryonic organs which are more feminine in nature. I had not known that the corresponding female organ had been so renamed.

Nor I. It's funny having one's insides renamed by others. How is one to
know what one is?

I thought that this should be filed under, "Things that make you go, Hmmmmm.".
