Distribución y hábitat: Especie endémica del oeste argentino, distribuyéndose en las provincias de Jujuy, Salta, Tucumán y noroeste de Catamarca (Fig. 73), entre 500-1000 m de altitud, en laderas rocosas desnudas o bajo árboles en lugares planos, en el bosque espinoso y seco de la provincia fitogeográfica del Chaco Serrano o en el bosque de transición entre esta provincia y las Yungas, donde se presenta más erecta (Kiesling 1978).
Comentarios morfológicos y sus consecuencias en la taxonomía y nomenclatura: Es la única especie del género Trichocereus que se caracteriza por ser rastrera, con costillas formadas por mamelones y con surcos intercostales en zig-zag.
Especie descrita originalmente en el género Cereus (Weber 1897), posteriormente transferida a Trichocereus (Britton & Rose 1920), Echinopsis (Friedrich & Rowley 1974) y recientemente a Soehrensia (Schlumpberger 2012). Se considera que debe corresponder al género Trichocereus por presentar las siguientes sinapomorfías: crecimiento basítono con ramas postradas, escamas imbricadas a lo largo del tubo floral y frutos subglobosos.

... "In addition, we have
registered low flower production and pollinator limitations.
Therefore, self-incompatibility, low flower production, low
local abundance of pollinators and clonality in combination
could account for the low fruit production observed in the
populations of E. thelegona. This finding suggests that
populations of this cactus species persist mainly by clonality
and that they are tending to the loss of sexuality
(Honnay and Bossuyt 2005). Future studies should evaluate
the last hypothesis along the geographical distribution of
this species, and the generality of the ideas presented here
should be tested in other clonal cactus species that are
distributed in Argentina."...

Picea abies 'Vermont Gold' 3/2022 Norway N3- (Greg Williams, VT 1990s) Prostrate Norway Spruce, Size at 10 years: 6in.x4ft., golden, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed N3 for 34 MONTHS (Stanley). Planted in 2019.
American Conifer Society: Picea abies 'Vermont Gold' is a broadly spreading, slow-growing selection of Norway spruce with layered branches and golden-yellow foliage that looks its best when given 3 to 4 hours of morning sun. If grown in shade, plants will appears greenish yellow and if grown in full sun young plants will burn badly.
After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 2 feet (60 cm) tall and 4 feet (1.3 m) wide, an annual growth rate of 4 to 6 inches (10 - 15 cm).
This cultivar originated as a golden branch sport found on a specimen of P. abies 'Repens' in the mid-1990s by Greg Williams of Kate Brook Nursery, Wolcott, Vermont, USA. It was first listed under the illegitimate name, 'Repens Aurea' and later changed. Another illegitimate synonym is 'Repens Gold.'
Stanley & Sons Nursery: A prostrate, golden form of Norway Spruce. Leaves solid gold and normal size. Plant completely prostrate. Old name of cultivar is `Picea abies `Repens Aurea'. Grows 4 to 6 inches a year. Found and introduced by Greg Williams.

Situated in the Basque Country (Euskal Herria) in Northern Spain, in the Pyrennean foothills, this is San Ignacio de Loyola Country, for the saint himself came to prostrate himself in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary pointing the way to Aranzazu.
The choice for the location of the original fortress was purely defensive, as it commands views over four provinces. Originally the fortress was erected to stem off invaders using the roads in the valley below, along the rivers Alto Urola and Oria. This military function is reflected both in the size (30 x 20 metres, too large for a chapel), thickness of the tower walls as well as in the small openings for the use of arms. The original plan provided in time of crisis, for a shelter for animals, on the ground level and for people accommodation on the first floor.
The origin of this structure is steeped in the legends of Basque Mythology, when giants threw huge rocks from the top of the mountain to erect this building.
This belief has to do with the fact that the sandstone material is allochtonous and originates from some distance.
By the 14th and 15th centuries the military function had gradually diminished when the tower was adapted to became a chapel. From this period dates the late romanesque window and calvary,
The first documentary mention of of santa Maria Antigua de Zumarraga dates from 1366 from the time of King Henry Ii of Castille. A century later, in 1482 a hard-headed local Abbot, Don Martin de Gurruchaga, challenged in the Law Courts, Queen Isabella the Catholic for wullful neglect of the parish church of which she was a patron.
Abbot Don Martin was the first to start keeping a book recording Baptisms, well before the Council of Trent institutionalised it. The most famous entry of this book is that of the baptism in 1505 of a local boy who made good - Don Miguel Lopez de legazpi - the conqueror of the Phillipines.
The roof timber work is spectacular and is decorated with early medieval geometric patterns and some anthropomorphic details. Traces of painted decoration were also found on the timber. during the 1967 restoration work. The vaulted roof is supported by six stone columns
A copy o fthe calvary (seen above) is regarded sufficiently representative to have a cast displayed in the San Telma Fine Arts Museum in Donostia-San Sebastian.
The church is still consecrated and mass is celebrated here once a monh.

In the south transept stands the Roman tombstone of Flavinus, shown mounted on his horse overcoming a prostrate Ancient Briton. At nine feet tall it is the largest Roman memorial stone found in Britain and likely originated from the Roman site at Corbridge nearby, from where St Wilfrid's men recycled much stonework to build the Abbey in the late 7th century. The stone was discovered in 1881 during repair work under the floor of the Abbey church.

Hexham Abbey started life as a Benedictine monastery founded by St Wilfrid in 674, building his church from recycled Roman stonework. The building would have been significantly smaller than that which we see today though a small part of it remains in the Abbey's famous Anglo Saxon crypt, a four-chambered space (one of the most ancient Christian structures still in use in Britain) concealed beneath the present nave. Most of the present church however is the result of 13th century rebuilding in the Early English style.
Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537 the Abbey church was retained for use as the town's parish church of St Andrew, which it has remained ever since. Most of the monastic buildings and the medieval nave were abandoned and quarried away around this time, leaving just the choir and transepts in use. The Victorian period saw major restoration of the church which included the rebuilding of the eastern bay of the choir in 1858, whilst ongoing work to improve the state of the abbey culminated in the early years of the 20th century with the rebuilding of the ruined nave (reusing the original foundations and lower parts of the walls) to the designs of Temple Moore, which was consecrated in 1908.
The Abbey is a delight to explore and retains much of interest from the medieval period, including many original furnishings and a surprisingly rich collection of 15th century paintings on wood, incorporated into the choir screen and stalls, and yet further in the two chantry chapels flanking the high altar. One of the chapels, the chantry of Prior Leschman, is famous for its primitive stone carvings. The oldest item in the church however is the 'Frith Stool' in the centre of the choir, an ancient bishop's throne from St Wilfrid's time which would have been in use when the previous church was briefly designated as a cathedral.

Hexham Abbey is a church I'd wanted to see for many years and finally getting to see it was no disappointment. I was also made very welcome here by everyone I met and would happily return. The church is currently closed to the public for renovation (Jan-March 2019) but is normally open and welcoming on a daily basis.
Don't read this if you are very sensitive. It's not nice.
Today I came back from the Killing Fields, Choeung Ek Genocide Centre, and saw a fatal RTA. He was lying still in the road, helmet on, no blood, with a ring of spectators standing around him. My driver took a detour to rubber neck and said simply and without emotion, 'He's dead'. The memory of his feet and legs and arms splayed from his prostrate body will stay with me for a long time. Especially following the story of the Killing Fields.
Here at Choeung Ek, at least 17,000 people were executed during the 3 year period when the Khmer Rouge were in power from 1975-78. At its peak there were 300 being murdered every day (in all 3 million died out of a total population of 8 million). It's important to remember this because it could happen again; seemingly nice people the world over, people surrounding us now, could, somehow, in the same way, begin to act in a similar psychopathic manner. Christ or Buddha knows why or how.
The commentary on the audio was pretty descriptive. Don't read on if the former has already disturbed you.
The Cambodian 'dissenters' (intellectuals, teachers, ministers, monks and others) were rounded up and sent to the likes of Tuol Sleng (S21, the secret prison in PP) and then, after 'confessing' (to collusion with the CIA or the KGB or Royalists), were transported ('in Chinese and English trucks') to Choeung Ek for death by drowning, garroting, throat cutting (with e.g. the stems of the sugar palm), machetes, and worse - anything in fact that didn't involve the use of expensive bullets. Not everyone who fell in the death pits were dead, but they soon were. As they were killed the guards played loud music blaring out from speakers on the 'magic tree' in order to hide the screams of the victims from the locals (how they couldn't know what was really happening is beyond credibility), but what it must have felt like to the other prisoners to listen to this ...
Near the 'magic' tree was another one. This was used by the guards to kill babies: afterwards a grave was unearthed nearby and the investigators found evidence (blood, bones, brain matter) clinging to the bark adjacent to the pit: they had bashed the babies to death on the tree. How to God ...? Today the tree, and the posts surrounding the other exhumed mass graves, is festooned with friendship bracelets donated by the thousands of visitors who have been as shocked by this as I was. The former commandant of S21, Duch (as in 'douch bag') was escorted to the site during his trial in 2006 and he broke down in tears at this tree and asked forgiveness from the dead and the living. He still resides in prison having been given Life.
The site was chosen by the KR because it was partly already a graveyard, but it was also an orchard. It seems they, the KR, liked to choose innocuous and innocent settings for their most terrible crimes (S21 was formerly a high school, and the killing caves at Battambang were previously used as a theatre). Some of the Chinese graves are now reappearing in amongst the pits and mounds of the 'communal' graves. One of these communal graves contained the bodies of 450 people, another consisted of the decapitated corpses of 166 soldiers who hadn't lived up to the discipline, policies and strictures of the KR communist regime. It was said that the stench from the pits was extreme and that bloated, gas-filled corpses pushed the earth up. They used DDT to try and quench the smell and prevent disease.
A large stupa has been erected to 'commemorate' the atrocity which is 'celebrated' every May, initially as a 'Day of Anger', and now as a 'Day of Remembrance'. It contains 8000 skulls.
As I walked around the site, alongside pleasant, landscaped, peaceful gardens, with the rain appropriately pelting down and silencing everything, doves bathed in puddles, bulbuls bubbled in the trees and a common blue kingfisher sat silent on a small branch above the shallows of the lake watching for ripples. A lake which still holds countless dead.
In some of the sheltered preserved pits and graves, some fragments of rags and maybe a bone or a tooth could be seen. The staff collect such remnants and store and catalogue them carefully every two weeks as the rain continuously uncovers them.
The museum has a potted history of some of the high command. It seems most of them were educated (teachers, professors, monks - the fucking hypocrites). Some died of natural causes (disease mainly), some defected to the Royalist government after Pol Pot died in 1998 (maybe poisoned by his own followers? Anyway, they are still at large and Hun Sen, the present PM, is supposed to have been a former battalion commander of the KR before Pol Pot forced him to flee to Vietnam), or even his closest advisors were sent to the likes of S21 and then Choueng Ek (Pol Pot was notoriously paranoid - 'better to kill an innocent by mistake than to spare an enemy by mistake').
I have seen many of these 'dark tourism' sites around the world (Hungary, Bosnia, Guatemala, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Auschwitz, Romania, Hanoi Hilton) but this affected me more than most. Maybe it was the honest book by Vann Nath that primed me, maybe it was Roland Joffe's film from 1984, 'The Killing Fields', that set me up to be affected. I don't know. But it was profoundly moving. And then there was the RTA.
A very prostrate evergreen Cotoneaster, whose long trailing shoots are studded in autumn with bright red berries. It is a first rate ground cover plant, ideal for covering banks and as undercover beneath trees and larger shrubs.
It was discovered in China by Ernest Wilson, and introduced to the UK in 1900. AGM 2002.
Just out of interest ...
Ernest Wilson (1876-1930)
An amateur British botanist in China had alerted Kew to the alarming impact that the charcoal industry was having on the forests of Yunnan province. Concerned, William Thiselton-Dyer at Kew sent a trained botanist, 23-year-old Ernest Henry Wilson, to investigate.
‘Of athletic build, and endowed with an indomitable courage and perseverance’, his mission was not only to botanise but also to satisfy the horticultural needs of his financier, the Veitch nursery, for interesting hardy garden plants.
He was to search for one plant in particular, which had been described but never collected. This was the Handkerchief Tree(Davidia involucrata). Following a sketched map and instructions, Wilson located the valley where the tree was last sighted – only to find a stump and a newly erected hut built from its timber! Fortunately he persevered and was later successful.
In all, EH ‘Chinese’ Wilson brought us over 1,000 garden plants and around 16,000 herbarium specimens, introducing more plants to Western horticulture than any other collector. His introductions included the Beauty Bush (Kolkwitzia amabilis), the ‘Wilson 50’ Kurume azaleas, and the magnificent King’s Lily (Lilium regale), the collection of which very nearly cost him his life.
Sinowilsonia henryi from central and western China and many species are named in his honour.

Introduced, warm-season, perennial, prostrate legume, with rhizomes and usually less than 15 cm tall. Stems are hollow. Leaves have 5 leaflets, which are ovate to obovate, to 25 mm long and with long marginal hairs. Flowerheads are clusters of 8-14 yellow flowers (10-12 mm long) on the end of unbranched stalks. Pods are long and cylindrical. Flowering is from late summer to autumn.
A native of Europe and North Africa, it is sown and naturalized in high rainfall areas and on wet and waterlogged soils. It is tolerant of acid low-fertility soils. Seed is now difficult to obtain. Usually slow to establish, but will tolerate grass competition after 2-3 years. Can grow under low fertility conditions, but is responsive to increased phosphorus. Tends to die off in patches in hot, dry conditions; reshoot when conditions are favourable. Tolerant of wet conditions, but does not survive prolonged flooding. Low bloat risk. High tannin in some varieties can cause periods of lower palatability, but this can reduce overgrazing and help persistence. More tolerant of grazing than Lotus corniculatus, but some leaf should remain after grazing. Provide some rest in autumn to aid seed set and spread, but conditions may not be suitable every year for seed set.
Introduced, warm season, perennial, prostrate herb to 60 cm tall. Leaves and stems are hairy with glandular and non-glandular hairs. Leaves are alternate, lanceolate, deeply veined and stem clasping. Blue to mauve tubular flowers (with yellow stamens and throat) arranged caterpillar-like in 2 rows on one side of the flowering stem (scirpoid cyme). Flowers most of the year, but not in winter in southern areas. Grows on a wide range of soil types. Predominantly in areas that receive at least 50% of average annual rainfall in summer. It is mostly a problem of run down pasture and disturbed areas such as cropping paddocks, roadsides and waste land. Regenerates from seed and vegetatively from pieces of plant and roots. It is spread by water, fur of animals and in the gut of animals. A weed which is toxic to animals, quite invasive and difficult to control. Causes chronic liver damage in cattle, sheep and horses; can be fatal. Cultivation encourages its spread by stimulating germination and regrowth of plant parts. Management requires an integrated approach including herbicides, productive pasture, grazing management and biological control. There has only been one biological control agent released in Australia, the blue heliotrope leaf-beetle. At high densities, leaf-beetles can completely defoliate blue heliotrope, with both the larvae and adults feeding on the leaves.

"Well, for one.... you're prostrate on the boardwalk and I thought there may be a medical problem."
"No. No medical problem. Don't you realize how short you ducks are? One has to really stoop to get you at a good angle, and stooping doesn't come easy at my age. Move a little more to the right where the light plays off your head better.
"I beg your pardon! I'm not your pet! Don't tell me what to do or I'll peck your pixels!
"Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. But, there's some seed over there where I was pointing you to, and it would be just 'ducky' of you if you try some of it out!

It is spread by water, fur of animals and in the gut of animals. A weed which is toxic to animals, quite invasive and difficult to control. Causes chronic liver damage in cattle, sheep and horses; can be fatal. Cultivation encourages its spread by stimulating germination and regrowth of plant parts. Management requires an integrated approach including herbicides, productive pasture, grazing management and biological control. There has only been one biological control agent released in Australia, the blue heliotrope leaf-beetle. At high densities, leaf-beetles can completely defoliate blue heliotrope, with both the larvae and adults feeding on the leaves.

Prostrate perennial knawel (Scleranthus perennis subsp. prostratus) on Santon Track near Brandon.
The site is owned and managed by the Forestry Commission in order to protect and enhance populations of this and other critically endangered Breckland species that require disturbed soils.
The blessor is a famed monk who prostrates regularly around the Wish Fulfilling Stupa in Boudhanath, Kathmandu, Nepal.
He blesses those who request his blessing. His forhead is marked with a raised bump from his head touching the ground during prostrations.
He is a Tibetan Buddhist monk.
A lovely person, I could not resist for long and after I saw a child obtain his blessing I went for it too - and he touched me with the metal prostration supports about my head, shoulders and arms. What a rush!

Prostrate perennial knawel (Scleranthus perennis spp. prostratus) in flower. This species is globally restricted to the Breckland area of Norfolk and Suffolk. It is unable to compete with more vigorous plants such as grasses. The sandy, nutrient-poor soils of the Brecks heaths and its dynamic, steppe-like climate provide the conditions that Prostrate perennial knawel requires.

Often classified as a weed, but it also makes a great ground cover in shady areas where nothing else will grow.
From Mother Earth Living:
Genus: Glechoma hederacea
Pronunciation: (Glee-KO-muh hed-ur-AY-see-uh)
Family: Lamiaceae
• Prostrate perennial herb with square stems to 21/2 feet long
• Hardy in Zones 4 through 9
• Round, scalloped leaves on long stalks
• Small violet flowers in spring
• Leaves once used in medicine and brewing beer
• Tenacious weed; variegated cultivar grown in hanging baskets
Long ago, brewers and herbalists appreciated this indestructible plant with glossy green leaves and pretty violet flowers. Today’s gardeners hate the way it invades lawns and flowerbeds, but a few tolerate its better-behaved variegated form.
The genus Glechoma comprises twelve species of creeping perennial herbs native to Eurasia. They were formerly assigned to the genus Nepeta, the catmints, but are now separated on the basis of technical characters. G. hederacea is well established as a weed throughout much of North America. The name Glechoma is a Greek word once applied to pennyroyal or another member of the mint family. Hederacea means “like Hedera,” a genus of ivy, and refers to this herb’s creeping habit, as do many of its common names: besides creeping Charlie, ground ivy, gill-over-the-ground, runaway Robin, and Lizzie-run-up-the-hedge are just a few of the alternatives.
Creeping Charlie has fibrous roots that form along its square, typical-mint-family stems; as you try to weed it out of your garden, the stems break, leaving rooted bits that readily form new plants. The leaves, shiny green on top, paler below, and arranged in pairs along the stem, are round or kidney-shaped with scalloped edges and are borne on stalks that range from a few inches to a foot long in the most robust plants. The leaves are typically 3/4 to 1 inch across but may reach 2 inches on plants grown in fertile soil. They are evergreen in mild climates.
The flowering stems are somewhat erect, about 8 inches tall, and clothed in fairly small leaves. The flowers, about 3/4 inch long, are borne in threes in the leaf axils in late spring. The violet corollas are two-lipped: the upper lip is small and two-lobed; the lower one has three much larger lobes, the central one largest of all. The flowers are of two kinds, pistillate (having only female reproductive structures) and perfect (having both male and female structures). They are pollinated by bumblebees and flowerflies. The fruit consists of four smooth, ovoid brown nutlets less than 1/8 inch across.
Running the lawn mower over creeping Charlie releases a somewhat astringent odor very different from that of turf grass and nothing like the “minty” or “balsamic” scents that some authors have reported.
After the plants have finished flowering, they start creeping with a vengeance, sneaking under mulches and between specimen plants, working their way into the shadows, growing bigger and fatter as they put down roots into rich garden soil. They make an attractive, maintenance-free ground cover in shady areas where grass won’t grow. Just don’t plan to grow anything else in that area.
Uses for Creeping Charlie
The ancients found many medicinal uses for creeping Charlie. The English herbalist John Gerard reports Dioscorides’s remedy for sciatica “or ache in the huckle bone”: drinking “half a dram of the leaves” in “four ounces and a halfe of faire water, for fourty or fifty days together.” Galen preferred to use the flowers for this purpose and claimed that they, being very bitter, also “remove stoppings out of the liver.” Matthiolus used the juice, mixed with verdigris (a poisonous copper compound), to treat “fistulaes and hollow ulcers.”
Other ills reputedly eased by this herb include ringing in the ears, constipation caused by lead poisoning (“painter’s colic”), kidney disorders, indigestion, coughs, and tuberculosis. Either the dried leaves or the fresh juice might be snuffed up the nose to relieve headaches.
The plants are said to be toxic to horses, whether eaten fresh or dried in hay. Cattle, goats, and swine are said to refuse them.
Few scientific studies of creeping Charlie’s efficacy have been conducted. Animal experiments do not support its use as a cough medicine. A 1986 laboratory experiment showed that ursolic and oleanolic acids from the herb (these constituents are also found in numerous other plants) inhibited the Epstein-Barr virus and protected mouse skin from induced tumor growth. A 1991 study showed that a fatty acid from creeping Charlie stimulated enzyme activity in blood platelets.
English countrywomen commonly added creeping Charlie (which they called alehoof, “hoof” meaning “herb”) to their ale or beer to clarify it and add a bitter flavor. This custom seems to have died out following the introduction of hops to England in the seventeenth century.
Creeping Charlie’s tender young growth, rich in vitamin C, may be eaten like spinach or added to vegetable soup. The herbalist Maud Grieve calls a sweetened tea of the tops “an excellent cooling beverage.” In Europe and perhaps elsewhere, the gall wasp Cynips glechomae can cause the leaves to form big, hairy galls in autumn, which, according to Grieve, “are sometimes eaten by the peasantry of France.”
Growing Creeping Charlie
Creeping Charlie thrives in moist, fertile soil in shade but also tolerates dry, poor soil in sun. Propagate it by replanting root-bearing stem segments.

The species is a prostrate or erect shrub up to 1.5 metres in height. Native to eastern Australia.
Location: Warrumbungle National Park
Fans Horizon hiking track
Introduced, cool-season, annual, low-growing, hairless legume, with prostrate to ascending stems. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each oblong to round and 4-13 mm long. The central leaflet has a distinctly longer stalk than the lateral ones. Flowerheads are loose to somewhat dense hemispherical clusters (6-7 mm long) of 3-20 yellow pea-like flowers. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, it is found in pastures, woodlands, lawns and roadsides. Although it often occurs at reasonably high density in short pastures, productivity is low and it has a high proportion of stem to leaf. It is palatable and grows from autumn to early summer (very dependent on rainfall), but only produces useful amounts of feed in spring. Requires moist soil for growth, so tends to burn-off rapidly in late spring as temperatures rise and soil moisture often remains low. Growth increases with applied phosphorus as long as pastures are kept short in late winter and early spring, but the response is likely to be too small to be economic.
This is the precious statue I was telling you about in my other picture of Marie Rose Ferron Bowing Miraculously and Profoundly on 30 July 2007. When God was teaching me a very valuable lesson - Not to put Limitations on him when he proved me wrong over & over again when I proclaimed "Marie Rose Ferron is nearly Falling Over- She can't possibly Bow to Sacred Heart of Jesus any more than she is now", God would prove me wrong and she would be found the next day bowing incredibly even more! When I was finally getting his message on this very day 30 July 2007, as we had just found Rose bowing so much you couldn't even see her face, I fell to my knees and Praised God! Tho I was very ill, I took pictures, measurements, and worked to make the Holy Family Garden pretty and more suitable for God and his Holy Family because I felt his presence in there deserved more. After I had done so, I went to St. Francis Parish, as I just had to see Sweet Jesus and be even closer to him. I had my husband drive me to his house- his beloved St. Francis Parish & went in. I prostrated myself on the ground before him before the Tabernacle and said many prayers while having a good long private talk with him. I could feel him so strongly and it felt so good to be united with him! I just wanted to hug and kiss him, while Praising his precious Holy Name! When I was done, I decided to take a picture of his Tabernacle as I get real sick in the winter and can't visit him as I become bedrid. I took the picture and then was drawn to his altar and cross behind it. It is one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. There is something about it, that draws you to it. I again bowed and even kneeled in more Prayer and when I was done I took a picture of it. I was intending to leave, as now, I have taken a long time, and was concerned my husband was bored in the car waiting for me, so I proceded to say good-bye to my beloved Jesus, and turned about to leave, when I felt drawn clear across to the other side for some strange reason. I argued with myself that I should leave, but then I felt the need to go thank Mamma Mary for all she's done as well. I went before this statue and kneeled in Prayer. I spoke to her and gave her much Thanks for her guidance, love and doings. I asked her if she liked what I had been doing for her son and the family in the Holy Family Garden. When Rose was found on the 08th July 2007 bowing even more profoundly to her Sacred Heart of Jesus and was now found "Leaning on Mamma Mary", I decided to make the Garden more presentable for our Father and his Holy Family. The Sacred Heart of Jesus that she bows to, had always bothered me, because tho I love it very much, I felt critical of the person who painted him because one of his eyes was huge and the other was small. I had always wondered why someone wouldn't take more care into painting our beloved Lord. I had been dying all these years to fix it but never got the chance, that is til 08 July 07, when I just couldn't wait no more after what I had just witnessed. I soon learned, it is a art to paint statues and isn't so easy as you would think. Here it is October and I am still working on my statues- Of course, I would have been done sooner, but my illnesses hold me from working so fast as I used to. Anyways, I am talking to Mamma in the Church, and while I am talking to her, I suddenly noticed that she has a serious face on her and sweet Child Jesus is smiling from ear to ear. While I tell her that I hope she likes the Garden, and asking how does she like the Heart-shaped Memorial Stone- Ferron Family Rosary I made in honor of her conversation with Marie Rose Ferron on 01 May 1929, I started thinking why would the maker of this statue, create Mamma so serious and Jesus so Happy. I kept talking to her but more and more, my mind started to wonder what the artist was trying to portray.. I finished my conversation with her, and said my good-byes, Thanks, and I love you, with no answer in my head to why the artist portrayed her so very serious and Jesus smiling, it just didn't make sense. I left to the front of the Church, stopping at St. Francis to ask him and St. Anthony to help me care for my pets and then left to go home. When we got home, I told my husband my experience in the Parish and showed him my pictures. I joked how I must have become a terrible critic and I know I shouldn't be, but am since the problem with Sacred Heart of Jesus statue, and that I found myself while in prayer questioning why an artist would portray Mamma as very serious & Child Jesus so Happy as it didn't make sense to me. He looked at the picture and said, "Um, Laurie, I don't understand, Jesus don't look like he's smiling at all in this, what are you talking about?!" I grabbed the camera as I hadn't yet seen the pictures I took, and was shocked to see that my husband was right- Jesus wasn't smiling at all! Now, I was confused, as I know what I saw! Child Jesus was smiling so much, it bugged me while I was in the midst of a Prayer, that I felt compelled to criticize it and that bothered me because I didn't like questioning it while I was in prayer and conversation with Mamma! He smiled so much and she was so serious, that I couldn't stop thinking about it and was argueing in my head to stop thinking of it, and had to try to concentrate on my Thanking Mamma! I was very happy at what had just happened at home, so grateful at what I had witnessed, that that was all I wanted to do was go see them and give them thanks for what they are doing, and here I was argueing in my head before her, about what her and her sons' statue looked like! How could this be that Sweet Child Jesus is not smiling now in this very picture? As I rattled over & over in my brain, trying to comprehend this, as I had no explanation to my husband for what I saw vs. this picture, I called my family and friends to see what they thought of it. I asked my friend the next time she goes to the Church to please look at this statue and to PLEASE tell me if sweet Jesus is smiling or not as I knew I wouldn't be able to go again for a long time. The next day she went and came back saying he is not smiling at all. My only conclusion, for I was not expecting it, is that Sweet Jesus & Mamma was letting me know they liked the Garden to which I had asked them if they did. Wow, even now, I get chills just thinking about all this, as God has moved me again! Thank You Father, and your beloved Holy Family for all you do, and for your sweet Love! xoxoxoxoxoxooxoxo

Comment (pertains to pictures in the Flickr album Dorycnium pentaphyllum subsp. germanicum): Dorycnium pentaphyllum subsp. germanicum is a low half-scrub loving warm, dry and sunny places. It is essentially a south European plant, however, it can be found also in the countries of east Balkan peninsula, Ukraine and Poland. Its key distinguishing traits from other similar species are long, adpressed, silver hairs on the sessile leaflets of five palmate leaves and relatively small number of very shortly petiolate flowers in the flower heads (8 – 15, Ref.:3). The traits of this find fit well to the descriptions in literature, so I have little doubts about the determination. However, two things bother me. The first is that many flower heads of this find consist of more than 15 flowers and the second is that the plants photographed, considered zero tolerant to salt (Ref.: 6), grow definitely in the reach of sea water splash during rough sea periods (and at the same time bloom so abundantly).

This image may not fit into the category of pictures that are usually in the group I have added this too, BUT a Suggestion by soupysoupysuesue, (thanks), another member on Flickr, got me thinking.
November or MOVEMBER as it is increasingly becoming known as, is the month when men all over the world grow a moustache to raise awareness of prostrate cancer and other serious male health problems. I thought that this might be a little bit of fun just to help raise awareness, for the coming growing season. It has been done with a very quick touch of PP and NOT graffiti.
