Bad habits don't actually do much good work.

I try not to notice my bad habits.

Ignorance is bliss after a..ow...I walked into another door. How do these things work? Darn downside of ignorance!

Orchids are plentiful in the Philippines.
Okay, maybe not plentiful, but we do have a lot of species.

My namesake, the cleome, isn't actually in my yard. I suspect it needs more sun than I could provide here.
Though some annuals which supposedly need full sun will grow here, where there's alternating sun and shade. Candytuft and Forget-Me-Nots, for instance, both grow well but put out more leaves than flowers. I don't mind, though. They still keep the grass down and look nice.

My dad convinced me to get this foul smelling plant. It died after a year. But, I got another one, so it would be there upon the next parental visit. I commented upon the plant, and he said he was never keen on them. Gah!

I don't know of any domesticated plants that are known for a strong, unpleasant smell, except some members of the Fritillaria genus. But I don't think those are grown indoors.

The rafflesia smells like rotting meat.

I should have its little card somewhere. I remember looking it up when I had to rebuy it. It was considered a weed in some parts of the world apparently. The lasted longer than my lupins though. I stopped getting them out of guilt at their zero survival rate

The rafflesia smells like rotting meat. Whoa. I'd never seen one of those before. It's like part flower, part starfish, part toadstool! Weird. thoth lad, it's probably a biological truism that one region's pretty plant is another's noxious weed. In the U.S. we imported Kudzu from Asia to try and control erosion. It tried to eat most of the American South. Now an increasingly popular coping mechanism is to unleash herds of goats to munch on it. Though it probably can't be eradicated, goats are such determined feeders that they can seriously weaken it.

Rafflesia are pretty ugly. I had a chance to see some in the wild in Malaysia, but I decided to pass. I already know what they look like.

Well, sometimes ugly things can be cool. Like a Francis Bacon painting, or a litter of pug puppies.

I'm finding a lot of the pictures of dogs that people show me to be a lot cuter than I remember. But it's probably down to the market in forced breeding. I've decided that old school dog types are therefore better on principle.

Our dogs are all shih tzus. They certainly look very little like their wild cousins.

They do poop a lot... All of ours have pooped on the bed at least once.

In time to catch them, not likely. In time to avoid jumping in bed on the poop, more likely
