Blooming Friday; Dichorisandra thyrsiflora;

Under an autumnal blue sky....

....is the time for Dichorisandra thyrisflora to bloom...

(click pictures for details.)

Blue Ginger, Dichorisandra thyrsiflora is not a true ginger, but it has ginger-like, arching stems and vibrant, purple/blue flowers in autumn. This exotic Brazilian perennial is the perfect plant for moist, shady spots in the garden and looks particularly good teamed with tree ferns and palms. It also makes a good pot plant.
Blue ginger grows around 2m (6') tall and 1m (3') wide. The 30cm (12") long leaves are narrow, glossy and dark green. Blue ginger is frost tender, and does best from Sydney to Perth and areas north.

This plant does very well in my subtropical Garden. It is also easy to propagate. Cut off a piece of stem and plant it in the warm time of the year.

Poor, dismissed dogs! you are a pain...

Our Billy loved and cherished. Billy is now two years old; he joined us when he was a tiny pup, eight weeks old. He has learned our ways; and we have learned his ways!

I came upon this post randomly. The story was about children and their wee ways of talking and picking up words from adults.

The lady asked one small girl "have you still got your Jack Russel"? No, said the small person, he was a pain in the a...! No I do not think this is funny; it is rather ugly coming out of the mouth of a small child.

I feel sorry for every dog who has the misfortune to end up with a family who is a pain in the a...!

I do not like people who do not teach their children to have compassion towards animals.

Why do people have a dog in the first place? To satisfy the whims of their spoiled, stupid children? Once the craze of the puppy stage is gone and the dog is not behaving because the pain in the a..family has no clue how to train a dog, the poor dog is dismissed, sold or whatever. If he is lucky he will end up with a loving family who understands him and give him some training to fit into family life. Dogs are part of the family they are not just pets! A dog in a family is a friend for life!

Mathematics in Nature; The Fibonacci spiral;

The Fibonacci Spiral is a mathematical formula in which each interconnected area is the sum of the two preceding areas.

The golden ratio; the sum of two unequal quantities plus the larger of the two is the same as the

ratio between the larger and the smaller.

The Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of numbers named after Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci (a contraction of filius Bonaccio, "son of Bonaccio"). Fibonacci's 1202 book Liber Abaci introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics, although the sequence had been previously described in Indian mathematics.

The Fibonacci sequence was well known in ancient India, where it was applied to the metrical sciences (prosody), long before it was known in Europe. Developments have been attributed to Pingala (200 BC), Virahanka (6th century AD), Gopāla (c.1135 AD), and Hemachandra (c.1150 AD).[6]
