Only in the Pacific Northwest would someone think, hey, let's get to that seminar this afternoon via canoe! Portaging the canoe across Mercer St. was probably the hardest part of the adventure. I sure have some unique labmates!
About a year and a half ago, my friend gave me a plant called a pregnant onion. It's an onion that grows half-in and half-out of the soil. As it grows, it forms bulges in the bulb, which eventually bleb off to become their own little plants. The first "baby" of my original plant has finally started to get its own leaves! I think it's really cool.
Checked my balcony this morning to discover that my lilies have finally started to bloom! I planted them last year, enjoyed them, then neglected them royally. They don't seem to care, though, because here they are again!
