Florida Pineapple!

Our famous Florida Pineapple, just about ready to grace our table. Maybe a Thanksgiving Pineapple dish is in order!

Here is my Camoufrog in the Ocidium Orchid today, waiting for nightfall.

"I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands.

When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands;

Then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught threat,

For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that."

- W. Dayton Wedgefarth

My Orchids Today

Pretty as a picture, aren't they?

Camoufrog

This is my Camoufrog. He is the protector of my Orchids. It is actually probably several different frogs that live amongst my Orchids, but I like to think of it as just one, the one frog prince who watches over the safety of my backyard from the beauty of the Orchid leaves.

One night, I had a dream that he hopped from one of the plants to the table on the deck, just as night was falling and the sun had set, sprouted wings, and flew away, over the house and into the night sky. The next morning, when I woke up, I ran outside to see if he was gone, but I found that he had returned from his night flying and was tucked back into his Orchid, ready to sleep away the days heat and restore his energy for another night of soaring on the thermals.
