Random Felonious Felines and Flowers

Random Felonious Felines and Flowers



Hibiscus
Yes I still have tons of posts to publish all pending my completion of either research for text to accompany the photos or editing and verifying of the information or needing to get some additional photos to illustrate issues etc. The real problem is that I tend to work on several things at the same time (I am working on other writing projects aside from this blog).


Unknown Ground Orchid
Another thing that has added to the backlog is that while adding a whole bunch of gadgets to the blog which some of you may have noticed (e.g. the counter, most popular posts etc) I realised that I needed to revise the way I was tagging my posts and have been working out a systematic and logical way of tagging the posts to maximise their utility not only in terms of making the blog more visible to people searching for specific things through the various search engines but also to enable people reading the blog to easily find other posts that might interest them.


Clerodendrum thomsoniae - Bleeding Heart Vine
This has meant consolidating some tags while breaking down, expanding and/or adding others. I have more or less sorted that out and once that is decided then I’m going to go through all the published (and unpublished posts) and redo all the tags. Depending on how the internet is .... it could take some time or be done easily.

In the meantime just to keep you all happy here are some random photos I took in April 2013. Some will feature in later blog posts with additional text and information. Others are just for the eye candy value and hopefully some will bring a smile to some of you.

More flowers and random kitten cuteness

More flowers and random kitten cuteness



This is Pebble looking thoughful ... for once. Usually he leaps into action before thinking although he is usually able to figure out how to get out of trouble when things get ... complicated.


The Pink Orchid Tree  is flowering AGAIN. Oh and I have 4 seedlings that I found under it which I assume are from seeds that dropped and germinated. I need to try and harvest the seed pods and germinate some myself.


This  is Ghost cozening  up to Brown Dog. They are best of freinds and Ghost has a strange habit of sticking his face in her fur and then doing the whole kneading thing.

Bleeding Heart

Gloriosa superba ( Gloriosa lily, glory lily)


Rocky a.k.a Nirvana Kitty / The Benevolent One ... in this instance looking very guilty because I was telling him off after catching him climbing the new shelf on which I had moved all my Zepheranthes rosea (Pink Rain lilies).

Photographic evidence. Unfortunately it only proves he is able to climb up NOT that he is responsbile for the paw prints amongst the squashed seedlings. I have covered the seed trays with coco wire to hopefully avert any further damage.
