If you’ve ever wondered what Hell is like, put up one of those outdoor water-based fly traps.
I don’t want to describe it, but if you know, you know.

The ones you fill up and hang? They are really effective but you need a strong string or wire, can’t let them get rained on too much or they overflow, and gotta plan for double bagging disposal.
Otherwise, yeah.

My parents used to campground host, and would put up one of these water-bag fly traps near their campsite. In just a few days it smelled like death’s vomit. For some reason they didn’t seem to mind.

We’ve had a reprieve from the extreme heat of last week, when many of the plants and flowers took a real beating, but some of them seem to thrive in it.

I’m growin’ some baby trees that I hope will one day become bonsais…
On the left, from top to bottom Rosewood and flame tree, and on the left, a blue spruce and I forget the other, but some kind of pine-type tree…

A delightful little surprise today: my little potted camellia has its first blossom!
It’s the wrong time of year for camellias to bloom here; the a/c must have fooled it.
I took a half dozen cuttings in the spring of 2020 from a huge mother plant that was on a lot about to be cleared of an unsalvageable house and likely to be collateral damage. This is the only one that made it.
