Cherry (Flower) Float

If you just wait long enough, things will beautify themselves.

Clear Skies, Bad Air

The weather just doesn't quit. I took these pix yesterday on the drive back up to our house. The air was so dry the only particles whatsoever were the smog enshrouding Taipei City...

Heralds of Spring

Chinese New Year is almost upon us, and harbingers of spring abound. Apart from the unusually warm weather (28°C/82°F) and our sons' particularly rowdy behavior, there's the cherry trees.

This one grows just across the road from our house.

Twins!

As if one's not enough...

New arrival: N. glabrata

The unusually warm winter of 06/07, with its sometimes very warm days and cool nights, has lured me into impulse-obtaining a whole slew of highland Nepenthes. They're doing very well now....let's hope I won't regret it once April officially rings in the summer.

Anyway, I finally managed to find a n. glabrata. Boy, she sure is dinky!
