I enjoyed taking moody pictures to show the dark side of my garden. The music by Anah, The Gemini Ritual (Unleash the Other) is the perfect vehicle to carry the story.

I’ve been reading a lot about how your thoughts create your reality, so I thought I’d give it a try. Here my Chinese fan palm and Abyssinian Banana plant dance a Cuban Mambo choreographed by an English man in a Carolina garden.


My neighbor has grown the most beautiful zinnias.

My little portulacas look like a fiesta every morning. The divas don’t wake up until 10 am and they’ve had enough by noon. They take the rest of the day off – but for those two hours they go full throttle. Here is a video tribute to them — by the way, unlike my alternate persona DJ Fleur, I am really just a confirmed wallflower.

I spent some time just enjoying my garden. Looking at the leaves from underneath and floating lilies in my water bowl.


Lola, my Sago Palm, had a rough winter. The cold and the snow damaged all her leaves. Last year she didn’t put forth any new growth so I was little bit concerned this spring. I gave her some coffee grounds and apparently that was just the jolt she needed.
