Ruth charges her electric car from the power outlet on my porch. I use the car as a test subject to ascertain my hand-holding capabilities that apparently have deteriorated over the last years. Hmm.

Frank: you do look nice in that selfie :D Hope the recent health issues are being straightened out.

Some highly qualified genious of a doctor and very nice person too thouroughly examined my case and came up with a very bold healing proposal. The good news is: it seems to work. I came from 9/10 pain down to a 2/10 pain in two days. Today I am going home in the hope that this state will be a stable one. Six weeks in the parallel universe of hospitals were pain on top of pain. Keep you fingers crossed!

Arum italicum



Looks like it should be edible, but it’s not. According to wikipedia, all parts are toxic.

Thank you Arthur

I really like your image. It fooled me when I first looked at it, I thought the plant was maybe a meter tall, but it is more like .5 meters max. And, I thought it looked like it would be delicious. The pods looked like bell peppers to me. Then I looked it up and found out it is toxic, so I was fooled all around. A very successful image!

The small 1 aw1 with 11-27,5mm lens allows you to get fairly close, and a corner of my garden where the Arums thrive.
Thanks for your comments Arthur.
