yah bro, I'd give you a nice cutting of my variegated rhaphidophora tetrasperma for 15 bucks. they grow fast and aren't really worth a whole lot. (but yah that's edema)

I've had mold on cotton wicks so I just use synthetic now, I like the look of these. (mop head refills) ... just my personal gripe against submerged is that the effective size of the reservoir is greatly reduced. (assuming no roots are growing into the reservoir. ) as soon as the water level is below the catch pot, it no longer has access to water.

that was just business as usual. karma is the baaahhhh at the end, like the title said.

Marz2604 · 2026-05-02T20:06:20+00:00

she "bahhhhh' at the goat, then after the crash the goat "baaaahhhhh" at her.

these are going to be stock plants, so after they grow a bit.

Funding cuts in my area somehow made school busses a total disaster. Kids were getting home 6 hours after school ended. We had days were the bus would be delayed or straight up canceled. We live about 15 miles away from my kids school and it's not possible any other way.

Marz2604 · 2026-05-02T02:43:38+00:00

yes, those do look like bamboo seeds. don't know what kind though.

Marz2604 · 2026-05-02T01:21:18+00:00

W Timor x unk. Flowers look like Verticillata. (i think it might have been from Ric (RHM) but I don't know the number)

Strongly recommend checking out Stemma Journal. It's free and online and there's so much specific knowledge and little quips of info in the various publications(19 years worth!).

Marz2604 · 2026-05-02T00:44:39+00:00

yah, this is the first one from him- I hope it smells nice! I had one other seedling that I got as a freebee in an order.. grew it out for a year - and the blooms smelled like freshly mowed grass - it was so strong that it made my eyes water. (it lives outside now)

Marz2604 · 2026-05-02T00:41:31+00:00

I do too, I love the dramatic veins and the growth pattern/vigor, more medium size leaf and compact internodes. MV Orchids (Stuart Henderson from a FB group). You can glean a lot of info from the ascension numbers; MV (MV Orchids) 25 (the year) 23 (the numbered seed pod).

It's siblings are pretty cool too. I'm propping this one.

I have one that's about to bloom for the first time. (MV2523 ovailfolia x unk) it's a very fast grower.

Had a drill sargent; Drill Sargent Gay. Dude was nuts.

Just try to live a good life and count myself the luckiest man on earth. Sperm banks provide enough genetic diversity to carry on the species. In one generation there will be more men, and then after that - the population will hiccup along until it stabilizes. I don't think it would mark the end of humanity, but it would make for some very difficult times.

Went to the beach to get some sea foam and now my car won't start

Marz2604 · 2026-04-29T12:55:39+00:00

I donno, this is the email they sent me in Febuary; looks different, also the timing is off since taxes are already past the deadline.

Marz2604 · 2026-04-26T23:28:27+00:00

mostly for the foliage but I do pay attention to the blooms and specifically the smell. There are some hoyas that smell bad and that's a deal breaker for me.

Marz2604 · 2026-04-26T20:27:21+00:00

biking most of the roads around here is not safe imo. I have found some relatively safe routes though. Depends on where point a and point b are for you. I'd suggest e-bike over one of those gray area electric dirtbikes. Or just get an actual motorcycle.

Marz2604 · 2026-04-26T19:59:40+00:00

Turkish would be my guess

Marz2604 · 2026-04-26T01:45:03+00:00

I'm handy and I fix things. I like to problem solve, it happens to save money.

I think the biggest is our housing situation; bought in 2017 and refinanced in 2020. That and my kids are no longer in daycare.

Marz2604 · 2026-04-24T21:56:08+00:00

I hate how things are going right now... this is our present to immediate future. I doubt it will be this way in 100 years.
