Plumeria Infloresence in the Winter


After Hurricane Ike many of my plumeria branches were broken. Some were so beaten up I couldn't save them. This is one that made it. And it's blooming. I have no idea which one it's from, I was running out in the storm rescuing branches. The ones that I could lay down on the ground bloomed after the storm. Some of them I had buried in the ground in pots and I couldn't lay those down.
2/11/09 Unfortunately the infloresence turned black and shriveled like it was fried. The rest of the plant seems ok so far.

The Quartz Page

I found this great new link about Quartz crystals, and by now you gotta know it's my absolute favorite mineral. I especially love the formation page which discusses the formation types. I know that most people like the metaphysical aspects of crystals but they come in so many forms it cool to read about how they came to be.
