Contour of Gone
Robert Southwick Richmond said:
I learned the word calibrachoa just a few months ago, for a flower related to petunias. Introduced only within the last 30 years. Often called \"million bells\".
Named after a Mexican pharmacist-botanist, Antonio de la Cal y Bracho (1764-1833), so it should be pronounced kahl-ee-BROTCH-oa, but apparently the usual pronunciation is kahl-ee-bra-KO-a.

Merry Christmas
Samer Amin said:
It is so amazing, how you could, in a very concise way, make a kind of figurative similarity between the Spiritual Rebirth that we feel on Christmas, and the tree itself, which is still nude and pure, completely free from the Original Sin.

Renga with Linda
Jerry Reynolds said:
Can\'t take credit for it participation renga has been around for over a 1,000 years. They can be a lot of fun, challenging and go on sometimes for months. Somebody writes a three line Haiku, Senryu or Lune and someone else writes a two line stanza then another writes a three line stanza every fifth stanza mentions the moon. Give it a try you might like it. Here is a short seasonal start.

Odd isn\'t it that when man began to speak of god, he began to speak of evil at that time.

Good writes Jerry.
I try to let insects - especially wasps - out of bus windows, if I can. If I\'m on the bus of course, that is! lol.

Snow Storm
L. B. Mek said:
I know that feeling
of walking into an ancient building
and feeling shy for all the creaking:
that I bring...
although, it would be nice to get a bit of snow, I look out my window at the bright sunshine and crisp but mild weather and I can\'t help reminisce childhood scenes of colourful scarves and Rudolph nosed sniffles, lol
good write\'s again Jerry
