Podcasts about Bougainvillea

Muchos de los artífices que en los últimos años están poniendo en el mapa sonoro ibérico las peculiaridades de la folktrónica, reconocen en la gran Mercedes Peón una de sus grandes referencias e inspiraciones. Hoy recordamos de esta inmensa artista gallega dos de las canciones brutales que incluyó en su disco “SóS”, editado en 2010, cuando comenzaba la nueva andadura de La Tarataña y fue ella la que nos concedió la primera entrevista entonces. En esa onda revisitada quince años después, estrenamos lo último de Dulzaro y Silode, que nos traen, respecti­va­men­te, el baile charro y ecos de la trashumancia con la vista puesta, en ambos casos, en las pistas de baile. De Galicia también es Sés, recordada hoy por una asociación random de ideas. Regresan los gallegos Fuxan Os Ventos y en esas sonoridades atlánticas recogemos un eco celta, en vísperas de San Patricio, con el estreno del nuevo disco de los sevillanos Stolen Notes y la insistencia en la guitarra de José Ignacio Cordero. Además anunciamos conciertos de Benxamín Otero & Germán Díaz, y de Gabriel Calvo, que coinciden el viernes que viene en Madrid y cercanías. El domingo suena así La Tarataña: Mercedes Peón, “Elas” 4:45 y “Derorán” 4:45Dulzaro, “La niña de la arena” (con Eric Urano) 2:14Silode, “Morra” 4:05Sés, “Para cando eo morra” 2:57Fuxan os Ventos, “Cantiga de desamor” 3:01Germán Díaz y Benxamín Otero, “Muiñeira de Inzenga” 3:08Gabriel Calvo, “Roamnce de Don Boyso” 4:36Stolen Notes, “An Scottish Trip” 4:24 y “The Bougainvillea” 4:30José Ignacio Cordero, “She moved through the fair” 3:46, “Irish Washerwoman” 1:43 y “The Well Below The Valley-O / Son ar chistr” 2:47Escuchar audio

Sharon Van Etten machts neu *offiziell* mit Band, weil: bei den Proben für die Liveshows zu ihrem letzten Album war die Chemie so gut, da hat man prompt weitergejammt. Doch auch in «neuer» Besetzung bietet Van Etten weiterhin eine gelungene Gratwanderung zwischen Intimität und grossflächigem Indie-Rock. In den Songs geht's inhaltlich um sehr nahe Themen wie «Bildschirmzeit» für die eigenen Kids, musikalisch klingen die Tracks mal nach edgy Post-Punk, dann wieder nach Arcade Fire oder Springsteen. «Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory» ist unser brandneues Sounds! Album der Woche. In der Livesendung gibt's bis Freitag jeden Abend eine CD zu gewinnen. +++ PLAYLIST +++ · 22:54 – SAINT TERESA von DOVES · 22:48 – TO LIVE FOREVER IN A SKYLIT ROOM (EOMAC REMIX) von SUNDEN · 22:46 – CONFETTI von THE LEMONHEADS · 22:43 – BOUGAINVILLEA von TOBACCO CITY · 22:39 – ENDS MEET von PANDA BEAR · 22:36 – RODEO von SOPHIA KENNEDY · 22:32 – WEIGHT OF DESIRE von TENNIS · 22:28 – SADGIRL von LITANY · 22:24 – BIG JET PLANE von ANGUS & JULIA STONE · 22:21 – GOLDEN WOLF von DOPE LEMON · 22:18 – HÜ von ZÜRI WEST · 22:15 – CORAZÓN ADENTRO (ESCORPIO) von ASTROPICAL · 22:11 – ME PASA (PISCIS) von ASTROPICAL · 22:09 – THE NIGHT BEFORE von THE BLACK KEYS · 21:58 – SCHWARZE MAGIE von DIE HEITERKEIT · 21:54 – LEFT BEHIND von DROPKICK · 21:52 – ADORE von CHILD STAR · 21:48 – HAPPY HOUSE von SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES · 21:43 – I CAN'T IMAGINE (WHY YOU FEEL THIS WAY) von SHARON VAN ETTEN & THE ATTACHMENT THEORY · 21:37 – SOMETHIN' AIN'T RIGHT von SHARON VAN ETTEN & THE ATTACHMENT THEORY · 21:35 – EVER FALLEN IN LOVE (WITH SOMEONE YOU SHOULDN'T'VE) von BUZZCOCKS · 21:30 – INDIO von SHARON VAN ETTEN & THE ATTACHMENT THEORY · 21:23 – AND NOTHING IS FOREVER von THE CURE · 21:16 – TROUBLE von SHARON VAN ETTEN & THE ATTACHMENT THEORY · 21:12 – IDIOT BOX von SHARON VAN ETTEN & THE ATTACHMENT THEORY · 21:04 – EVERY TIME THE SUN COMES UP von SHARON VAN ETTEN

Managing innovation isn't a matter of abstract systems or process flow charts; it's much closer to the challenge of planting and tending an orchard. A rich harvest of innovation fruit comes from strong branches on trees which have matured thanks to careful cultivation. Maintaining what's already established and allowing for new shoots, sprouting in new directions, opening up more possibilities for future growth.   This doesn't happen by accident. We need to think about 'innovation horticulture' - how best to manage the orchard. This podcast explores that idea.  Check out my website here for more stories, cases, tool, even some innovation songs!

Der Koran beschreibt das Paradies wie einen Garten. Mit duftenden Blumen, aromatischen Kräutern und Obstbäumen. Der Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesch, benannt nach dem Maler Jacques Majorelle, der sich 1911 in der Königsstadt niederließ, gilt als einer der schönsten botanischen Gärten der Welt. Der in Algerien geborene Modedesigner Yves Saint Laurent kaufte den Jardin Majorelle im Jahr 1980. Er ist nur eine von vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten in Marrakesch. Auch das Dar El Bacha Museum in der ehemaligen Residenz des Paschas oder den Bahia-Palast des Sultans Si Moussa sind schön bepflanzt und architektonisch reizvoll. Von der üppigen Landschaft Marokkos sind die meisten Besucher überrascht, denn in weiten Teilen herrscht trotz ungewöhnlich starker Regenfälle in diesem Jahr nach wie vor große Dürre. Dank einiger Flüsse und des Schmelzwassers vom Atlas ist die Erde in der Nähe der Gebirge fruchtbar. Im Frühling wächst auf den Hügeln um die Königsstadt Fés frisches Grün, in den Oasen ernten Marokkaner Datteln. In Rabat stutzen Gärtner ganzjährig Buchsbäume und mähen den Rasen auf den Grünstreifen. In der weiß getünchten Kasbah des Oudayas in Rabat ranken sich purpurfarbene Bougainvillea über die Mauern. Neben den Jugendstilvillen im Diplomatenviertel und dem Mausoleum des ehemaligen Königs Mohammed dem Fünften lohnt sich in Rabat ein Besuch des Großen Theaters. Das Büro der britisch-irakischen Architektin Zaha Hadid konstruierte es. Die Medina von Fés ist eine der am besten erhaltenen Altstädte des Maghreb. Kunsthandwerker flicken Kessel, gerben Leder und färben Garn in den Souks. Jahrzehntelang verfielen die Häuser, seit etwa 15 Jahren werden alte Karawansereien und antike Koranschulen renoviert. Die Medersa Attarine aus dem 14. Jahrhundert wirkt von außen unscheinbar. Nach einem Vorraum betreten Besucher einen gekachelten Innenhof mit einer Brunnenschale aus Marmor, einem Gebetsraum einer nach Mekka weisenden Mihrab-Nische. Fotografien der kunstvoll verzierten Stadttore von Fés, etwa das Bab Chems oder das Bab El-Amr, schmücken viele Reiseführer. In der Provinz Ouarzazate, am Fuße des Hohen Atlas, schmiegt sich die Stadt Ait Ben Haddou in die teracottafarbene Landschaft. Der Ortskern ist seit 1987 von der Unesco als Weltkulturerbe anerkannt. Die festungsähnliche Siedlung war der Wohnort der Sippe der Ben Haddou, die im 11. Jahrhundert den Handel auf der Karawanenstraße zwischen Marrakesch und Timbuktu kontrollierte und ist der Schauplatz vieler Filme, etwa von „Der Gladiator“. Bei einem Rundgang durch die nahe gelegene Kasbah Amridil bei Skoura lässt sich ein Einblick über das Leben der Berberfürsten und in die traditionelle Stampflehmbauweise der Kasbahs gewinnen. Über ihre Bewunderung für die Gartenkunst der Maghrebiner, ihre Erfahrungen mit Berberpferden und ihre Faszination für das marokkanische Blau berichtet unsere Autorin Isa Hoffinger.

Answering fun questions about armadillos in the garden, getting bougainvilleas to bloom, figs and much much more!

It's a tough old flowering vine. Bright colors. You neglect it, and it just grows back stronger. Thank you Santos Lounge, Afrobeats is my new very favorite thing

Snacking on a homesteaders recipe and foraged Bougainvillea tea is a great way to start the show! After the healthy snack, Mark and Jana listen to a funny call in from a listener. Mark is sharing a song that's a remake, but, did YOU know it's a remake? Your overly oppressive hosts discuss a VERY helpful list of Oppressive Language created by Brandeis University. And in Paranormal Corner Jana and Mark talk discuss the predictions of Nostradamus and Baba Vanga.

In warm climates, the showy, brightly colored bougainvillea vines romp over walls, fences, and even buildings, brightening landscapes with their vivid colors.

1756, France - A 27 year old man publishes two volumes on integral calculus. His work is recognized by his peers, he gets elected to the Royal Society in London, but his career as a mathematician also ends with those two volumes. A few decades later, a man circumnavigates the globe, but does not immediately get recognition for it. And all this is connected to one of the most popular flowers in the world. This week, we celebrate Women's History Month and uncover the tragic history of the discovery and naming of one of the most beloved flowers known to mankind and the systematic denial of the contribution of the woman who discovered it. Tune in and discover, what history could feel like if we acknowledged the contribution of women.  Till then Check out the other episodes, Anne Frank, Lootera and Endless Life of Trees Anne Frank, Lootera and Endless Life of TreesThe Trees that built Venice The Trees that built VeniceElm Trees, National Revolutions and Modern Paper Elm Trees, National Revolutions and Modern PaperEuropean Impressionism, Japanese Nationalism and Cherry Blossom Trees European Impressionism, Japanese Nationalism and Cherry Blossom TreesThe tree that built New Zealand The tree that built New ZealandLiving Fossils, National Identities and 200 Mn year old trees Living Fossils, National Identities and 200 MM year old trees You can check previous episodes of 'Podcasts from Nowhere' on IVM Podcasts websitehttps://ivm.today/3xuayw9You can reach out to our host Utsav on Instagram: @whywetravel42(https://www.instagram.com/whywetravel42 )You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: IVM Podcasts - Apps on Google Play or all other major audio platforms.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andy Daly's yard has some day lilies, which he does not particularly enjoy, and some olive trees. Andy likes olives but finds the process of turning an olive from his own tree into an olive he can eat to be pretty challenging because it turns out it takes several steps. Once when he was a boy, his parents gave him some olives as a birthday present because they knew how much he liked olives and they thought it would be funny. Andy didn't think it was all that funny but they gave him other gifts too so don't worry. He thinks it would be hard to kill someone with a weed whacker but he's willing to speculate on how that might happen.He hopes you sleep well and have pleasant dreams.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber? Email us at:  sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsTwitter @SleepWithCelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Twitter @johnmoe.John's acclaimed memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback.

Native to eastern South America, the Bougainvillea Bush is known to have thorns and these thorns can be vicious. So why place them near a parking spot?

Prickly or Pleasing. A person's disposition…your disposition, is an important ingredient to your success. Bougainvillea is a pretty enough plant to cover a wall, but it is covered with thorns making it very difficult to shape and handle. I just met a person like the bougainvillea; competent to do their job, but prickly to work with. Do you think this type of behavior helps or hurts them? Today's Handout

Musings of a Keeper Walkabout Dec 10, 2008   If well received, this may be the first in a series of Keeper Walkabout notes by our staff and volunteers. As I walk about the sanctuary each day I often think how much our supporters would love to see what we see on a daily basis. It is so sad that these cats are in cages, but inspirational to see them make the best of it. This is an effort to convey the daily life at Big Cat Rescue.   As I arrived Kathryn was scurrying to the gate for a tour. Honey was busy in the gift shop and Jessica popped in to update me on the medical conditions of some of the domestic cats she has taken home to foster and place. The new intern was cleaning inside and outside there were “Blue Shirts” everywhere, buckets in hand, cleaning the cages.   Later Honey updated me on Hope and Ace the rehab bobcats. Hope weighs about six pounds now and has finally figured out that if you stick half your body into the pipe where the rats come from, the rats won't come that way. Back before Ace was diagnosed with AIDS she would have been able to show Hope how to cheat, which is to get in the highest place in the cage and watch all of the rat holes at the same time. Because we don't want the rehab cats to associate people and food Jamie had installed pipes to send the rats into the rehab cages, with the entry point far from the bobcats. Because Hope is getting too good at catching the rats, keepers had to extend the pipes much further away so that the arrival of the rat did not coincide with a keeper coming to clean their water bowl. There is a screen to hide behind while cleaning the water bowl, but bobcats are pretty smart, and we do all we can to insure they will survive in the wild when they get to go free.   The sun is shining through the fuchsia colored Bougainvillea that drapes over Windstar the Bobcat‘s cage outside my window. It is too pretty outside to be sitting at the computer, so I head out. The first cage I notice appears to be waist high grass throughout and guests must wonder why we don't mow in there, but if you stand and gaze at the enclosure, you start to notice a maze of tunnels. Little bobcat size tunnels that weave and wind all over the 1200 square foot space. There is one special little sunning spot where the grass is padded into a purr-fect little cat bed with a view of the white sand beach and lake. Little Feather is the resident here and would surely throw a hissy fit if her grass labyrinth were altered in any way other than her own choosing. Mike was cleaning bobcat cages nearby but he knows that poo and leftovers are all you can take from Little Feather's cat-a-tat.   About 30 mallards, here for the winter, took to flight as I walked too close to where they were hanging out with the swans and guinea hens waiting for Mary Lou and Rosie to feed them. That caught the eye of Apollo, Zeus and Anastasia, the Siberian Lynx nearby. Old Anastasia is crippled and diabetic, but was working on a mat in her ruff when the commotion began. A couple days ago it was 40 degrees and today it is 75 degrees and her coat doesn't know if it is coming or going. As the old coats shed and new coats come in, some of the lynx look like Rastafarians with their dreadlocks.   Calvin the Palm Civet cautiously watches from inside his new den in his new enclosure. This new place has so many more great places to climb and root about thanks to the hard work of our keepers in transforming an otherwise bare space into a Palm Civet wonderland. Also enjoying his new digs, is Pappa Bear the Coatimundi. His former owners had cut off all his toes in a botched declawing attempt and shaved his tail to hawk him as the “world's largest rat.” After the old bobcat Sheera died, Pappa Bear was the perfect candidate for her cage since he cannot climb or dig. Today he was rooting obliviously in the leaves and brush of his new piece of real estate.   Adonnis and Bagheera the Black Leopards were sacked out and sleeping so soundly that even the sound of fall's leaves crunching under my feet didn't elicit so much as a whisker twitch. They were sleeping in exactly the same position and looked like a mirror image of each other. On the far side of the sanctuary the wind blowing in the cattails on the lake was mirrored in the way the breeze swayed Joseph the Lion‘s big dark mane. Cameron the Lion had decided that he didn't want the keepers taking his left overs from last night and was barking at Marie if she came too close. Lions are funny that way. You never know when they are going to get possessive about something; their mate, their food, a stick… but when they get into that mindset, all you can do is leave them be.   While writing this, Scott came in with a hawk in a towel and Chris in tow with a video camera. Apparently the hawk had gone into Hercules the Snow Leopard‘s cage and in the excitement that followed, was unable to take the time of squeezing back out through the 4 x 4 wire. Scott and Chris were taking the hawk to examine him for injuries and if he was OK he would be released immediately. Never a dull moment…   I had just caught Shaniqua the Jungle Cat pinning something to the ground. As I tried to see around her to learn if it was a mouse, lizard, snake or bird, she turned around, one paw behind her back (still holding down whatever it was) and gave me the same feigned innocence of a child with her hand caught in the cookie jar. I asked, “What have you got there?” to which her expression clearly said, “Who me?” Not budging, I just waited to see, and she reluctantly let it go. She probably figured she could easily catch it again when the “prey police” weren't around. Tonight is whole prey night and it is every cats' favorite night because you get whole mice, chicks, rats, rabbits or beef ribs depending on how big you are. They are dead on arrival though and not as much fun as catching your own prey, but we discourage eating lizards here as they often cause liver flukes.   TJ the Tiger was neutered a few days ago and the next day seemed completely over it. Today he was chuffing softly at passerbys and gazing out at the ducks who had settled back onto the lake. Vern was busy renovating a jaguar cage for a new liger and tiger rescue. That meant building a bigger den, bigger feeding area and bigger doors between sides of the enclosure. Somewhere a ball was banging noisily against the side of a cage and guessing from the sound of the impact, it was a tiger having fun. Julie‘s video of cats with balls is pretty hilarious:   The sounds of scrapers clinking against the wire walls of the cages and the sounds of scrubbing and hoses spraying water bowls was not enough to make Cleo Cat Tra the Serval lift her head from a mid morning nap. Not even the flick of an ear, but several of her Serval neighbors, Arizona, Purrsonality, Esmerelda and Shasta were strolling about, with ears ever tuned to each sound. I am sure they were straining to hear the clicker sound that goes along with Operant Conditioning. They love the treats on a stick and the relief from boredom that comes along with the clicker sound.   Passing by Trucha and Modnic, the Tiger sisters, who too were up and about, and King the Tiger who was lounging in his den, I came upon Pat, our resident master gardener, and her troop of gardeners. They were almost entirely obscured by the mountains of trimmings they took out of the butterfly gardens in preparation for winter. She kept reassuring me that this was healthy for the plants and they would come back even more beautiful in the spring. I'm glad we have so many talented volunteers from every walk of life. Dropping into the Volunteer check point, volunteers were clocking in and clocking out. I ran into Kym who gestured wildly in her enthusiasm about having Big Cat Rescue as her team mascot in the cancer awareness event coming up in April. There will be 60 camps at the event and each prepares a goodie bag for all of the other campers. Her bags will be full of information on the tigers at the sanctuary, as the theme was wild animals and she chose tigers. With fewer than 4,000 tigers left in the wild and China farming them for their parts, the tigers need all the awareness they can get.   Catera the Bobcat looked great and lately we have been really worried about him. His mother, Indian Summer, killed all his siblings, 11 years ago at birth, and Catera is mentally challenged as well as being frequently sick. Catera is the canary in the mine here and if there is a flea on the 45 acres, it will be on Catera. If there is anything going around, he will be sick first. His mom knew he wasn't thrifty enough to survive, but we didn't give in so easily. It has been a struggle to keep him healthy, but he has such a zest for life, we just never could give up on him. This last bout of intestinal issues had me thinking it was the end for him, but after exhausting all of the natural remedies we could find, Dr. Liz resorted to a chemical stool softener that he will have to be on for the rest of his life. He was dancing in circles, chirping like a bird on speed and back to his effusive little self today, so I guess it was worth it all to him.   Running Bear and Little White Dove, the dynamic Bobcat duo, just had their cage size doubled. Most of our cages are in excess of 1200 square feet, but as the lesser cats have died we have not found others in need of rescue. There is a huge need for cage space for Lions and Tigers but only our “Green Shirts” are qualified to care for the big cats. It takes as least 2 years and a commitment of no less than 8 hours per week, every week, to be a “Green Shirt” here so we are limited by the number of keepers for bigger cats.   An article in today's news about an idiot taking her bobcat to Petsmart to have her photo with Santa, and the mauling of Santa that followed, said that she paid $1,500. for the bobcat. That is three times what they sold for a decade ago, so that tells me that the breeding is slowing down as a result of the bans we have been able to help pass in 7 states recently. If we could ban it in FL, OH and MO. the suffering caused by the exotic cat pet trade would be all but over. You can help us do that at http://www.CatLaws.com.   Showing off their new space to run, Running Bear and Little White Dove went bounding from one end of the old enclosure to the far end of the new add on. Julie did a great play on the idea of what is on and under our trees during the holiday season in a video.   Nico the Geoffroy Cat was moved to the tour path. As he has grown bolder around people we decided to move him out to where he can get an even broader look at the world. He had been a pet that came to us taped up in a box. He is the last of the Geoffroy Cats at Big Cat Rescue and you never hear about people trying to keep them as pets any more.   The smaller the species, the more they have to prove. It never works out well for the cats when people attempt to make pets of them. It goes against everything they are hard wired to be. Today as I walked by he was peering from the depth of his den; two shining orbs in the pitch blackness.   His new enclosure is closer to the path, but not on the main route and we will watch him carefully to be sure he is happy with the arrangement. We offer 14 regular guided tours each week and the public is not allowed to visit unless on a guided tour. All of our cats have the ability to hide if they want to, but we don't want to put any of them in a position where they are uncomfortable, so we'll see how it goes.   Some cats LOVE attention and Rambo the Jungle Cat is one of them. Perhaps by the next writing he will be in his new home which is right in the middle of where the tour paths converge. He is going to love that kind of attention!   As the three o'clock tour guests arrived I warmed up my long overdue lunch of tofu and green beans and talked to Bill the tour guide. Two years ago, after protesting fur sales at the mall, Bill, a veteran, had gone to MacDill Air Force Base and asked why they were selling animal fur garments in the Base Exchange. Unable to justify such an antiquated practice the base removed the fur products from their store and chose to go fur free. Two weeks ago, the entire SE region, which spans VA, to MS to FL has gone fur free too. One person really can make a difference.   I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

Richard Hebert of Hebert's Garden Center joins us each Thursday at 11:30. This week, among other things, we discussed Bougainvillea care and planting.

Roxanne the Dog Dies   Dear Jamie,    Your mom will tell you that I died peacefully in my sleep on the night of March 11th.  I knew this would be a hard transition for you and I didn't want to see you cry.  I just acted perfectly normal and decided to step out while my body was sleeping.   Someday you will see death for what it really is.  It is just like walking through a door.  We are just as alive on the other side, but we keep coming back to the game, because we love it so.  We pick out a costume and a role often get so into the part that we forget who we really are.  I am back in the game already.  You just haven't recognized me yet.   Your mom buried me outside the fence, under the Bougainvillea bush, in keeping with the tradition you guys have of bringing life from death.  I live again in the fuchsia flowers, but that is just the life that springs from my old costume.  My real essence is in the wind on your face and the thoughts in your head.  She thought that given your propensity for symbolism, that it made sense to bury me outside the fence, because I used to jump the fence all the time, when my body was younger.   I taught you how to care deeply for others by my escapades.  Those lessons were tough, but they made you tougher.  I served a purpose in your life as a little girl, but you are so grown up now, and I am so proud to be your friend.   We have so much work to do now.  There is so much joy and abundance ahead of us.  You will recognize me in a passing stranger, in an awe inspiring sunset, in an injured creature that finds their way to you, in a clever thought that you may think is your own.  We are not confined to these costumes, even while we are wearing them.  I am everywhere, just like you are in your dream state and like you will be in your waking state as you awaken to all that you are capable of.  I'll always love you, Roxanne

Debbie Weil brings her husband, Sam Harrington, back onto the show. A retired physician, Sam is NOT a  believer in midlife-crisis camps nor in navel gazing, which is what he told family and friends Debbie was dragging him across the country to do. But somehow, after both of them were twice vaccinated, Debbie persuaded Sam to get on a plane and fly to Mexico’s Baja Sur. Their destination: Modern Elder Academy.If you've been listening to the podcast, you've heard about MEA.  You could call MEA a wellness retreat. It’s idyllic: simple accommodations overlook the crashing waves of a broad mile-long beach.  Birdsong fills the air, water trickles from fountains, and bright Bougainvillea blooms everywhere. An organic garden produces wonderful meals and a dusty dirt road leads to the nearest village.But MEA is more than a wellness retreat. It’s also a school - and a community - of like-minded people. MEA tends to attract open-minded individuals from their 30s to 70s, who are on a quest to define "what's next” in their lives and who are willing to think differently about aging. Guests can attend structured discussions, there’s time for journal writing and reflection, and there are meditation and yoga classes. Debbie and Sam talk about a few of the topics that were on offer during their two-week stay, including the difference between growth vs. fixed mindsets (you can guess which one is preferable) and something called appreciative inquiry which is an expansive way of both listening and asking questions. Sam ultimately admits that he IS feeling calm and centered.  Mentioned in this episode or useful:Modern Elder AcademyEl Pescadero, Baja California SurNavigating Midlife Transitions, MEA’s Online ProgramS3-EP20: Jeff Hamaoui on Navigating the Messy Middle of TransitionsS1-EP6: Chip Conley on Growing Wise at Modern Elder Academy (Modern Elders, Part 1)S1-EP7: Four Different Decades on Transition and Reinvention (Modern Elders, Part 2) Previous episodes featuring host Debbie Weil and her husband Sam Harrington:S3-EP16: Debbie & Sam on Fasting For Five Days and Why They Were Crazy Enough to Do ItS2-EP24: Debbie & Sam on the Gap Year For Everyone, Silver Linings, and Not Should'ingS2-EP18: Debbie & Sam on the New Normal, Quarantines, Immunity Passports, and Masks & GlovesS2-EP12: Debbie & Sam on the Coronavirus, Magical Thinking, and AgingS1-EP10: On Debbie & Sam's Bucket List: Living in FranceS1-EP2: Debbie & Sam on How They Decided to Take a Gap Year at Age 62 A gift for listeners: a Baja meditation soundtrackDebbie created a 20-minute meditation soundtrack (with help from producer Julie-Roxane) from the distinctive Baja birdsong and trickling water she heard every morning before meditation practice.

Loan (pronounced Lo' Ann) Lake visited Italy for the first time as a graduate student. From Milan, Naples, Venice and Rome to Sicily, Loan explored Italy like few have. When we asked her what she enjoyed most about the country - everything, she said. Even with her love of "everything" Italy, Loan reserved a special place in her heart for one often overlooked locale within Italy, the island of Sicily. She said it reminded her in a way of her native Caribbean, in particular St Thomas---narrow hillside roads, Bougainvillea flowers, the American Jazz in the Sicilian nightclubs, and its African influences that remain from conquests 300 years earlier.We could have spent the entire podcast discussing Italian history and cuisine. Loan even did a deep dive into the differences in marinara sauces across Italy.Today, Loan is a communications and public relations strategist, journalist, and published author. She has worked with Fortune 500 companies, the U-S Government, non-profits and tourist destinations.Loan has returned to Italy since her graduate school days, and her visit further reinforced Loan's love of the country. As the title says, it's "Italy on My Mind."

Revolutionary greetings, this is comrade Pitt here at Red Onion State Prison. I'm calling in with a commentary based on this story that a comrade of mine shared that I'd like to share. It's title- she started off with saying," I wrote something this week too after a 27-year-old was stabbed 37 times for stealing something he probably didn't steal. The message of despair that filled up my JPay inbox inspired me to write this." The title of it is called "On Life and Death" by Rebecca Hensley. I remember when I got the call that my son [inaudible] for a black-for a black gang of Fort Lauderdale was dead. I hit the floor like a fallen tree. The fall [inaudible] my head my brain reeling. And the body was at the morgue and because he had already been identified, they would only let me see a photo of his face already deformed by rigor mortis. A young female doctor about to do an autopsy told me he was a handsome man. It was February 27, 2000. They kind of day no mother ever wants to see. I know because I have a tattoo on my shoulder with his name and the date. And it was two weeks before his 23rd birthday. When I was invited to write a statement on life and death—as folks inside Angola try to deal with the most recent brutal and senseless death among them—my thoughts went straight to my son. He's not the only one I've personally known to die of a violent death. I was 18 when a schoolmate was stabbed to death by her mother's boyfriend and stuffed behind the couch. My father was- my father and one of my husbands committed suicide. The first ex-prisoner I ever met back in 1971 was stabbed to death a couple years after I met him. And I heard many years after we broke up that my first ex-prisoner lover was stabbed to death by his girlfriend by somebody in Oklahoma who was never identified. But to carry a child in your body and feed him at your breast, and watch him grow to six foot four, and face the world with his shoulders back and his eyes steady, and have him reduced to a tattoo on your shoulder. It's not something you get over. Nine months later, I was taken to a Christmas breakfast by a young man I didn't know who told me that my son was murdered because he didn't want to sell drugs to kids. The most die-hard criminal I ever knew called him a gangster with principles. But the point of my telling all this is that three days after Eli left the earth, I looked out into the backyard of the house I was living in and saw him sitting in a cedar lawn chair under the hot pink Bougainvillea blossoms hanging from the fence. I walked out to him as if he were the most natural thing in the world. "Why didn't you come into the house?" I ask him. He hung his head and looked up at me, "Because I thought you would be mad at me," he responded. "Oh honey," I reply. "You can come anywhere I am, anytime you want for the rest of my life." As I reached down to put my arms gently around his neck, he put his lips close to my ear and whispered, "I thought I had more time." There is a nightmarish violence all over this planet. It's more common in prison than anywhere. But it can show up unexpectedly at a moment's notice anywhere. Young people, old people, rich people, poor people, all kinds of people, in all kinds of situation who think- who all think at the moment that they have more time. But the fact is that no matter who we are or where we are, we only have today. Many people in Angola are saying over and over right now, "Tomorrow is not promised." Well, there's another way to say that: today is actually all we have anyway. Yesterday's gone forever,  tomorrow's not promised. But how we are spending today. What are we planting in the garden of our lives right now? One of the universal laws is that whatever we plant good or bad, it grows. Bad things can happen to good people. Senseless things can happen to anybody anywhere. But I try hard to not- to not make sure they happen to me by planting things my garden that I really don't want to grow there. I didn't always believe that what goes around, comes around. For many years in my life, I routinely did things to others that I wouldn't want done to me. But once I realized that whatever I plant grow, I quit. Life is hard enough as it is. I don't need to make it worse. If all we have is today, how can we live in such a way that wherever, whenever, and however we die, we die with dignity. Dignity is not decided by the details of how we die, inside the walls or outside them. There are many choices we don't really get to make, but if I were to be my best self today to have integrity, to make community better because I'm in it, today. The time I'm here will be well spent and well remembered. That was a story that a comrade of mine shared. And I thought that story is quite interesting and it made me quite think of how I live my life each and every single day. And I hope that this story kind of inspires you to, you know, basically appreciate life. Appreciate the people you have, appreciate today and, you know, live the best of your life for each moment. Because tomorrow is not promised. And that was my commentary. You can reach me at Peter Kamal Mukuria, state number 1197165. Red Onion State Prison. PO box 1900, Pound, Virginia, 24279.

Frankreich um 1766: Die junge Jeanne Baret begibt sich an Bord des Marineschiffs „La Boudeuse“ und wird Teil der berühmten Expedition des französischen Seefahrers und Forschers Louis-Antoine de Bougainville. Das Problem: Frauen sind damals an Bord von königlichen Schiffen nicht erlaubt. Also nennt sich Jeanne Baret „Jean“ und verkleidet sich als Mann. So soll sie zur ersten Frau geworden sein, die die Welt umsegelt hat. Und dabei auch die farbenprächtige Bougainvillea entdeckt haben. Um ihr Leben ranken sich viele Legenden, vieles liegt im Dunkeln.

Today we remember the first woman to have circumnavigated the world. We'll also learn about the wealthy horticulturist who built a magnificent estate on the shores of Lake Waban. We celebrate the botanist who was the first editor of Rhodora, the New England Botanical Club's journal. We also salute the father of British plant geography. We honor the Reverend, who wrote two sweet little books for Burpee about sweet peas. Today's Unearthed Words feature some silly light-hearted poems about the garden. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book that gives us something to do in terms of projects for our garden, And then we'll wrap things up with the story of the woman who founded the Greening of Harlem. But first, let's catch up on some Greetings from Gardeners around the world and today's curated news.   Subscribe Apple  | Google  | Spotify  | Stitcher | iHeart   Gardener Greetings To participate in the Gardener Greetings segment, send your garden pics, stories, birthday wishes and so forth to Jennifer@theDailyGardener.org And, to listen to the show while you're at home, just ask Alexa or Google to play The Daily Gardener Podcast. It's that easy.   Curated News Landscape designer Piet Oudolf on finding solace in the garden | PBS NewsHour “The world has looked strange these past months, familiar places no longer familiar at all. Many people have turned to their own or community gardens during this period, growing vegetables and flowers, nourishing body and soul. Gardening centers have been among the first essential businesses to reopen. Sales of seeds have soared. Piet Oudolf isn't surprised.” Piet Oudolf ("Peet Ow-dolf") quotes from the transcript: "I think every day is an experience, because there's always something you will like, and it's not only about the plants. It's also about the light and the movement. Once you touch the plants and just start to work with them, there's a big chance that you get lost in the world of plants and that you want to experience more of gardening. You can think while you're gardening. You can think about life and how to follow up after this crisis. But at least people want to go to places where I normally would go to, to gardens and to parks. And I think that people will realize that we, as human beings, need that, to feel good. What I say for people that just start gardening, I think anything that you see at the garden center that you like can be a good start — to become a serious gardener."   Alright, that's it for today's gardening news.

I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events 1740   Today is the birthday of the explorer and botanist Jeanne Baret. Jeanne was the first woman to have circumnavigated the globe as part of the expedition, which was led by Louis Antoine de Bougainville.  Beret was able to join the expedition after posing as a valet to the expedition's naturalist: Philibert Commerçon. Before the expedition, Jeanne had been employed as Commerçon's housekeeper. A few years later, his wife died, and Jeanne took over the management of the household and began a personal relationship with Commerçon. Commerçon had poor health, and it was likely that he needed Jeanne to join him on the expedition because he needed her assistance. Jeanne was an excellent botanist in her own right. When the ship stopped in Rio de Janeiro, an old leg injury prevented Commerçon from collecting specimens. Thus, it was Jeanne who ventured out into the tropics and returned with the lovely tropical vine that would be named to honor the expedition's commander: Bougainvillea.   1810  Today is the birthday of one of America's most prominent horticulturalists – Horatio Hollis Hunnewell. Horatio was staggeringly wealthy. He was a railroad financier. But he also had a lifelong love of nature and gardening. When Horatio purchased over 40 acres of land along the eastern and southern shores of Lake Waban ("Wah-bin"), he built a magnificent estate there. He had married Isabella Pratt Wells, and he decided to call his impressive home Wellesley in honor of his wife's maiden name. When it came time for the nearby town and college to settle on a name, they also chose the name Wellesley after discussing the matter with Horatio, who happened to be the most generous benefactor of the city. The Hunnewell estate was so large that when the Hunnewell children grew up, seven of the nine had homes built on the property - right next to their parent's original house. Aside from the impressive homes, Horatio added many magnificent features to the estate, including a pinetum with over 325 specimens of conifers. Hollis Honeywell made the following remark in 1899 about his trees, "No Vanderbilt, with all his great wealth, can possess one of these [trees] for the next 50 years, for could not be grown in less time than that." And, Horatio also installed the very first Topiary Garden in America at Wellesley. He referred to it as the Italian Garden, and it was ideally situated along the shore of Lake Waban. When it came to the Topiary Garden, Horatio went all out. Whenever he had guests, Horatio would have them hop aboard a large authentic Italian Gondola boat complete with an authentically dressed gondola man. After they glided up to the Topiary Gardens, they would stop and take a tour. Horatio's shores rivaled that of Lake Como in northern Italy. It's difficult to fathom how much attention this one-of-a-kind garden received from the public. Thousands of visitors from all over the country came to Wellesley just to see the topiary garden firsthand. Many more took in its beauty through photographs and engravings published in the most popular periodicals of the time. To this day — a century and a half later — the Hunnewell Topiary Garden is among the most spectacular sites in the region. There are a few stories about Horatio I discovered during my research. The first is that Horatio and his friend Nathaniel Thayer Jr. brought the game of tennis to America. The second story is that Horatio was the first person to cultivate and popularize rhododendrons In the United States.   1864  Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist Benjamin Lincoln Robinson. In 1892, Benjamin was appointed the curator of the Asa Gray Herbarium at Harvard. When Benjamin took over, both the herbarium and the library were in dire straits. Benjamin brought in funding and expanded the herbarium. Today, the Gray Herbarium and library are still housed at Harvard at 22 Divinity Ave. In 1899, the first issue of the New England Botanical Club's journal, Rhodora, was published. And, Rhodora's first editor was Benjamin.   1881  Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist and the father of British plant geography Hewett Cottrell Watson. In recognition of his significant contributions, the botanical society of the British Isles named their journal Watsonia. Beginning in 1834, Hewett was one of the first botanists to research plant evolution. Hewett's work also paved the way for a new science now known as ecology. When Darwin created his theory of evolution, he was standing on the shoulders of curious early evolutionists like Hewett. Darwin's popularity and success overshadowed the folks like Hewett, who came before him. Yet, it's evident that when Hewett read Darwin's Origin, his reaction was one of wonder... and also self-reflection. He spent his adult life trying to reach Darwin's conclusion. Now, as an older man, he could see the match he had lit being passed to a true torch-bringer. After reading the origin, Hewett wrote to Darwin. Hewett's letter is a part proud dad, part awed fan, and yet, he still takes time to advise Darwin on areas to improve or take heed. In two different passages, Hewett points out that Darwin had succeeded where he had stopped short, saying Darwin had figured out the quo modo or the method to knit the strings of the theory of evolution together. Hewett's letter to Darwin is quite something to read – even after all this time: 21 Nov 1859 My dear Sir Once [I started] to read the ‘Origin’ I could not rest [until] I had galloped through [all of it]. I shall now begin to re-read it more deliberately. Meantime I am tempted to write you [my] first impressions… 1st. Your leading idea will assuredly become recognized as an established truth in science, i.e. “natural selection”. (It has the characteristics of all great natural truths, clarifying what was obscure, simplifying what was intricate, adding greatly to previous knowledge). You are the greatest Revolutionist in natural history of this century, if not of all centuries. 2d. You will perhaps need … to limit or modify, ... the principle of ‘natural selection’. 3d. Now [that] these novel views are brought… before the scientific public, it seems truly remarkable how [we didn’t see them sooner].. A quarter-century ago, you & I must have [had]the same state of mind... But you were able to see & work out [the theory], … while I failed to grasp it. ... How greatly this...will shock the ideas of many men! very sincerely | Hewett C. Watson to C. Darwin | Esq. Darwin Correspondence Project, “Letter no. 2540,” accessed on 26 April 2019, http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/DCP-LETT-2540   1895  On this day, a photo of the horticulturist and Reverend William T. Hutchins of Indian Orchard, Massachusetts, appeared in the Springfield Republican. William is remembered for his book called "All About Sweet Peas," published in 1892 by the Burpee Seed Company. Five years later, William wrote another book for Burpee calledSweet Peas Up-to-Date.William's writings were used as promo material for Burpee, and customers positively received them. Incredibly, Burpee distributed fifty thousand copies of "All About Sweet Peas." In August of 1898, The Star-Gazette out of Elmira New York reported on a talk that William had given about the history and culture of sweet pea. “Mr. Hutchins said that the flower is a native of Sicily, and is widely cultivated there, but in late years it has come into popular favor in America, and is now raised in nearly every part of the country.  The speaker mentioned some of the rare varieties and told how they are obtained…  He also gave a most interesting description of the gardens of Mr. Eckford in England, whose cultivation [of] about seventy-five of ...the choicest sweet peas have been given to the flower lovers of the world.” And, in 1950, Charles H. Curtis, the editor of the Gardeners' Chronicle, wrote, “Fifty years ago, a parson from Indian Orchard, Massachusetts, stood on the platform in the Lecture Hall of the Crystal Palace. He was the Rev. W. T. Hutchins, an enthusiastic grower of Sweet Peas, who had a voice as sweet and persuasive as the fragrance of his subject. I can hear him now.”  One of my favorite articles featuring William was published in The Atlanta Constitution on March 31, 1991. The title of the article was "Oh, Sweet Peas, Please Climb Above My knees" and was written by Laura Martin. Laura dug up this quote by William, who said that the sweet pea has "a fragrance like the universal gospel." And, regarding the sweet pea, Laura wrote, “Finding a plant with outstanding beauty and fragrance is a treat. Many roses, of course, offer this combination, but easier and far less demanding are old-fashioned sweet peas, which will trail and climb in your garden while emitting a delicious scent. Common name: Sweet Pea . Botanical name: Lathyrus odoratus.” The Greek word lathyros means pea or pulse, and the Latin word odoratus means fragrant. Today, Japanese varieties have the most abundant blooms, and some Australian varieties are frilly. Sweet peas are a long-lasting vase flower, which makes them quite popular with florists and brides. Finally, in terms of floriography, or the language of flowers, sweet peas convey bliss and pleasure. They also mean saying goodbye after having a good time. Nothing says thank you like sweet peas. Finally, of the sweet pea, John Keats wrote: Here are sweet peas, on tiptoe for a flight;  With wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white,  And taper fingers catching at all things,  To bind them all about with tiny rings.   Unearthed Words July 27 is Take Your Houseplants for a Walk Day - a silly, light-hearted day that brought to mind these nonsense poems.   One fine October morning In September, last July The sun lay thick upon the ground The snow shone in the sky The flowers were singing gaily The birds were full in bloom So I went down to the cellar To clean the upstairs room — Anonymous   There should be no monotony In studying your botany; It helps to train And spur the brain-- Unless you haven't gotany.

Bernadette was a professional gardener and urban gardening advocate. She founded the Greening of Harlem Coalition in 1989. Her efforts transformed Harlem, bringing flower gardens and green spaces to areas previously covered by concrete and neglect. It was Bernadette Cozart who said, “Instead of taking children on field trips to see farms and gardens, why not bring nature into the community? I don't think it's fair that they should have to go outside the community to have that experience of seeing things grow.”

Day forty two, Killer Prawns and Jeremy Clarkson. Life behind the police lines in Lockdown Spain for a British couple and their three good legs cat.   Find out more at: https://www.thesecretspain.com Day 42 Killer Prawns and Jeremy Clarkson   It is day 42 of our Spanish Lockdown and Jen and Jack have sent us a picture from their balcony showing a little girl excitedly whizzing down the road on her tiny scooter.   For the children of Spain, today is a red-letter day.  They are now allowed out once a day for a short exercise period.  For many who live in the small flats that are dotted along this coastline, it must truly feel like freedom.   The news gets better, cautiously the curve seems to be flattening, so much so that Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will allow us all out for a short exercise period from Saturday May 2nd    Last night we watched Jeremy Clarkson with a YouTube live edition of Drive Tribe, the previous night I had a strange unrelated dream about Jeremy Clarkson, he was demanding all sorts of things that I had to do and was asking me to edit some books he was producing, then weirdly yesterday evening we fired up YouTube and found the first recommended live event was a Drive Tribe live interview between him and the recently recovered Grand Tour and former Top Gear Producer Andy Wilman.   Loath him or love him, he made thirty minutes of live lockdown TV that was far better than the uncomfortable Children in Need, Comic Relief affair this week from the BBC.   Andy Wilman had chosen to swig Corona Beer during the whole interview, and we got to learn a candid, maybe too candid behind the scenes view of what it is like to work with Amazon. Andy looked very pasty faced and had clearly had a rough time with Covid 19, whereas Clarkson looked like he had been at the port, but the reality was he was badly sunburn from sitting in the back yard of his Cotswolds farm.   It was funny and raw, quite rude in places and maybe the future of TV?   I don’t know a lot about cars, back in 1997 I was Producing a Car Maintenance Show for LBC and decided that the Expert we had on air didn’t really know enough about cars either.  He was a nice enough guy, I liked him as he was a short arse like me.  So I sacked Richard Hammond from the show .. I often wonder to this day whatever happened to him.   Day 42 and the morning was dry.. no rain and the sun was trying to peak through the cloud.  An opportunity to clear up the mess the dirty rain had made the previous day.   For some complex meteorological reason, sometimes when it rains, it rains Sahara sand – a dirty brown sticky mess that dries like glue all over everything and everywhere.  It is a bugger to get off the terrace.  My Spanish neighbour José uses his Karcher, I prefer a mop, so spent more than two hours this morning cleaning everywhere down, finishing by putting the little plastic robot tank cleaner into the pool to clean that up.   We naively thought that we were leaving outdoor dirt behind when we came to Spain.. as of course it was always sunny and every hotel we stayed at had immaculate grounds.   How stupid could we have been, first hotels have an army of staff that clear up all the time and secondly it does rain and here we do get a lot of wind. And a lot of mess too.   The devils plant also grows here in abundance – Bougainvillea – oh yes you might be shouting at me that it is a beautiful plant.  But it is an absolute horror, apart from the really sharp thorns it has, it grows like a bloody weed and its sodding beautiful flowers constantly fall off and almost instantly dry into a paper thin, drain blocking, pool pump wrecking menace.   Then there is Oleander another ghastly and very poisonous toxic plant, ingestion of any part of this plant can make you seriously ill and even cause death.  Burning the leaves is equally toxic too.  Sorry to be so brutal about two of the most loved plants in the Mediterranean but neither of them are going to get planted in our garden.   Day 42 and the weather has changed back to being cold and windy, Chris is cooking the three good legs cat his fish.  He can no longer digest ordinary cat food, he can manage his little biscuits, but wet cat food has a most unpleasant effect at either end of his body, so he has frozen Panga fish from Vietnam for his breakfast and tea.     My mother’s visit to see us a few years ago in the village was delightful but hard work.  We were living in a little flat and had managed to rent another flat in the same block on the first floor for her visit.   My mother and Brian are old folk and set in their ways and there were more riders than a pop star diva for their visit.  A list of English food was required including English butter, cheese and my stepfather Brian’s favourite – north Atlantic Prawns.  He specifically said that “I don’t want any of those Spanish prawns Stephen.”   We found some frozen ‘prawn cocktail’ type prawns in the local Hypermarket they were nearly 8 Euros for a small packet. Anyway, my mother and Brian were on holiday, so we bought them for their arrival, put some in the freezer and a serving in the fridge to defrost.   My Mother and Stepfather have very prescribed eating times, and I am afraid to say under Lockdown we are the same too, looking forward to and eating meals at pretty much the same time every day now.   So, Teatime was at 5.30pm our time, and my sister was in charge of helping my mother prepare their tea in the ‘foreign kitchen’, as my mother described it.   There was a lot of drama around every meal time, I think I am very much the same as my mother and can create quite a lot of drama over nothing.. it must be something in the family DNA.   Half way through the week Brian surprised me by ordering a large plate of Gambas in a restaurant and finishing the whole plate off with great gusto.  “Those were lovely Stephen.” He told me, “But I thought you didn’t like ‘Spanish’ prawns.”  “Well I do now!” he chuckled.   At the end of the week, I asked him if he had enjoyed his English prawns.  “No,” he said in a very matter of the fact way.  “They were very slimy, so have not eaten them all.”   At nearly 8 Euros I wasn’t going to waste them so a few days later we fished them out of our freezer, having moved them back down to our flat. And I looked at the defrost instructions. It said in Spanish “This product must be cooked before being eaten.” ..woops     

Bougainville is a 9000 sq. km pacific island and was first subject to European contact in 1768 when Louis Antoine De Bougainville landed there and, in an act of typical vainglory, named it for himself. People had been on Bougainville for 28,000 years but it was the Austronesian people who 4,000 years ago established pigs, chickens, dogs and cultivation with obsidian tools.  The Comte De Bougainville was every bit the equal of James Cook and it was he who established the Falkland Islands, circumnavigated the globe and fought as a captain of dragoons in the what was effectively the first world war, the 7 years' war between England and France. As an Admiral he sailed south from Tahiti and nearly discovered the Great Barrier Reef then in 1768 encountered Bougainville, east of Papua New Guinea. The wonderful variegated coloured flower, Bougainvillea, is named for him. The island is a natural wonder and historical treasure. This episode was written by Lt Col Chris Alroe. Chris was an Australian Army Officer and specialist medical practitioner who spent twenty-one years full and part time in the Australian Defence Forces. He was at one time SMO 11 BDE and later appointed SMO 3 BDE, retiring from the army before taking up the appointment. During Operation Bel Isi commenced 1999, the UN Peace Keeping Mission to the Island of Bougainville after the civil war there, he was appointed Officer Commanding the Combined Health Element for the mission. He was commended by the Brigadier of the Mission for his survey of New Guinea Health services which he conducted as part of the plan to complete the Mission.

On Bougainville's expedition, a woman named Jeanne Baret joined the crew after posing as a valet to the expedition's naturalist: Philibert Commerçon. Commerçon had terrible health, and he likely needed Baret to help him.   Baret herself was actually a botanist in her own right.  When the ship stopped in Rio de Janeiro, it was Baret who ventured out into the tropics and returned with the lovely tropical vine that would be named to honor the expedition's commander: Bougainvillea.       #OTD  Today is the birthday of Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz, who was born on this day in 1793. When the German poet Adelbert van Chamiso ended up in the San Francisco Bay area, and he wrote about the California poppy, which he named Eschscholzia California after his friend Johann Friedrich Von Eschscholz.   In return, Eschscholz named a bunch of plants after Chamisso - a little quid pro quo. In 1903, the botanist Sarah Plummer Lemmon put forth a successful piece of legislation that nominated the golden poppy (Eschscholzia californica) as the state flower of California.        #OTD  Today is the anniversary of the death of the Landscape Architect Arthur Shurcliff who died on this day in 1957. Shurcliff's path to Landscape Architecture was not clear cut. His dad had been a successful businessman, and Arthur was supposed to follow in his dad's footsteps and become a Mechanical Engineer. But after receiving his degree from MIT, the field of Landscape Architecture was making waves thanks to the Olmsteds, Charles Eliot, and the Chicago World's Fair. Since no formal degree programs existed at the time, Shurcliff cobbled together his own curriculum at the Lawrence School of Science at Harvard.  All his life, Shurcliff loved being outside. He enjoyed camping and canoeing. He loved scenery and sketching the landscape.  Looking back on his decision to pursue Landscape Architecture, Shurcliff remembered, "All led me away from mechanics toward scenery, toward planning and construction for the scenes of daily life..." In 1904, Shurcliff opened his own firm. Shurcliff designed recreational spaces in and around Boston like the  Rose Garden, the Washington Garden at old North, and the park Back Bay Fens. But, Shurcliff will forever be remembered for the work he did at Colonial Williamsburg.  It was the first time an entire American community was to be restored. John D. Rockefeller financed the project. Shurcliff had over 30 years of experience behind him when he officially started the project on St. Patrick's Day of that year. He didn't just bring his Landscape Architecture skills; he brought everything he had; his training in engineering, his meticulousness, and his ability to get things done through his personal clarity, energy, and charm. The project would use every bit of knowledge, skills, and expertise that Shurcliff had acquired. It wasn't just the buildings that needed restoration; it was the land, the paths and streets, the gardens, and green spaces. It required tremendous research to restore it all. Shurcliff insisted that wherever possible, original items and authenticity was paramount. For example, Shurcliff's team actually went looking for "fence-post holes to ascertain the outlines of a "typical" backyard" - this was a true restoration in every sense of the word.  It took Arthur Shurcliff 13 years to finish the project. But, once it was done, Shurcliff had redefined Williamsburg; helping it to lay claim to it's past and ensuring that Colonial Revival garden design found legitimacy in 20th Century Landscape Architecture.         #OTD  On this day in 1972 that The Greenville News shared an article called Orchidist Finds Hobby Versatile. The orchidologist was Gilbert L. Campbell. At the time the article was published, Campbell had been collecting orchids for six years, and he had amassed a collection of more than 300 plants in addition to a library of orchid reference materials. Campbell recalled, "My first orchid was a gift,' and it led him to visit a commercial orchidologist in Newberry for more information. Orchid lovers grow orchids all year long, and his passion led him to add greenhouses to help with his hobby.  Campbell said, "Some orchidologists do grow their flowers in their homes... but he advises against it. 'Growing an orchid is like being a fisherman,' he says. 'Some fishermen may be content to sit on the bank and fish, but most want to get out in a boat on the lake. It's a lot easier to grow orchids in a greenhouse.' He cites temperature and humidity control as one major benefit of growing the tropic blooms "under glass."  As for why Campbell had two greenhouses, his answer was simple. "He has the two, he says, because he needs a "cool" house for his cymbidium orchids and a "medium" house for his cattleyas. In "orchidese" this means a temperature difference of 5- 10 degrees. A "medium" house, he says, has a minimum temperature of 55 to 60 degrees, and a "cool" house, a minimum of 45-50 degrees. Campbell also advocates fresh air for the plants, which he moves outside in summer and on balmy days throughout the winter. "Orchids, like people, do best in a spring-like fresh-feeling atmosphere," The two things which cause growers the most difficulty, he believes, are proper watering of plants and placement for best performance." When a plant ceases to function properly, it is vulnerable to insects and disease," he notes, adding that his constant problem, snails, crops up periodically. To help combat problems, he makes these recommendations: For the beginner, start with a few mature plants. Orchids like dry roots, so they should be watered thoroughly, then allowed to dry out."       #OTD    Today is the anniversary of the death of the Spanish rose breeder Pedro Dot who died on this day in 1976.  As a young boy, Pedro learned about plants from his father, who was a highly regarded gardener and plant breeder. The estate where his father worked, grew roses and the Marquise of the estate funded Pedro's early work in hybridizing. Dot is remembered for his white rose, which came out in 1927. It was called Nevada and is named for its color.  Nevada is the Spanish word for "snowy."  The British rosarian, Peter Beales, called 'Nevada' one of the best-known semi-double shrub roses.  The American horticulturist and professor, Dr. Griffith Buck, taught horticulture at Iowa State University, and he created over 80 cultivars of rose.  When Buck wanted to name one of his roses after Pedro Dot, he reached out to his son. He wrote: “I wanted to name a rose after Pedro Dot, a famous Spanish rose breeder who supported me in my breeding. I wrote to Pedro’s son, telling him that I would like to name this rose for his father. I told him I knew his father was very proud of being a Spaniard who was also proud of being a Catalonian. His son replied, “If you are going to name it for my father, why don’t you name it in Catalonian and call it ‘El Catala.’” “ which I did.”       #OTD On this day in 1972, the Greenville News shared that the American Rose Society had chosen Pat Nixon to be their patroness. "Mrs. Richard M. Nixon recently accepted an invitation to become the first patroness of the American Rose Society on the invitation of Dr. Eldon W. Lyle, president of the group. She was presented with a brass gilded vase of 24 porcelain roses to commemorate the occasion. The Garden Party roses were created by Mrs. Oscar Tilleaux."         Unearthed Words "Two sounds of autumn are unmistakable, the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown along the street or road by a gusty wind, and the gabble of a flock of migrating geese.  Both are warnings of chill days ahead, fireside, and topcoat weather." - Hal Borland, Naturalist   "The wind that makes music in November corn is in a hurry.  The stalks hum, the loose husks whisk skyward in half-playing swirls, and the wind hurries on... A tree tries to argue, bare limbs waving, but there is no detaining the wind." - Aldo Leopold, Ecologist "It is autumn; not without  But within me is the cold.  Youth and spring are all about;  It is I that have grown old." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Autumn Within     It's time to Grow That Garden Library with today's book: Herbal Tea Gardens by Marietta Marshall Marcin Create your own herbal tea garden! This inspiring guide covers everything you need to know to grow herbs and use them in homemade tea blends successfully. Providing plans for 22 themed tea gardens, Marietta Marshall Marcin offers expert tips for growing and harvesting a variety of common herbs. Clear directions for more than 100 recipes include Flu Brew, Double Green Digestive, and Women’s Energizing Tonic. Before you know it, you’ll be creating enticing herbal teas to suit every occasion.     At the beginning of the book, Marcin shares the Chinese legend of the tea plant. The White Buddha known as Ta' Mo would sit in his garden near the place and meditate through all the seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The White Buddha would meditate unblinking and unsleeping. Finally, after many years, His attention wavered, his chin dropped, and his eyes closed in sleep. When the White Buddha awakened - Perhaps a day or year later - he was so angry with himself for neglecting his meditation that he took out a knife's life, sliced off both his eyelids and threw them on the ground. The Saint's eyelids took root in the fertile soil and grew into a tea bush, the symbol for wakefulness.   I love to find books like this for you - oldie but goodies that are so affordable on the used book market.

Paperwhites (Narcissus papyraceus) and Amaryllis (Hippeastrumspp.), make great gifts and to your holiday décor. One of my favorite Christmas mantles over the fireplace featured a row of these large silver goblets that I used to pot up Paperwhites.  Along the feet of the goblets, I strung Christmas lights, and on top of the mantle, I had laid a sheet of moss. It was such a gardener's holiday mantle.     Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart   #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of Mavis Batey, who died at the age of 92 on this day in 2013. Mavis Batey is remembered for her work with the Enigma research team. Mavis broke the German Enigma code, which allowed the Allied forces to stage their D-Day invasion. In 1955, Mavis and her husband settled on a farm in Surrey. It was here that Mavis began learning about Landscape history.  After Surrey, the Bateys moved to Oxford and lived on a park designed by Capability Brown. The park was also home to a garden designed by William Mason in 1775. Mavis recalled: "We lived in the agent's house, right in the middle of a Capability Brown park, but it was William Mason's garden that really got me. We had to cut our way into it. It was all overgrown and garden ornaments were buried in the grass, but I knew at once it wasn't just an ordinary derelict garden: someone had tried to say something there, I knew at once it wasn't just an ordinary derelict garden: someone had tried to say something there."   It wouldn't be the last garden Mavis Batey saved. In 1986 Mavis was honored with the Veitch Memorial Medal for her work, preserving gardens that would otherwise have been lost to time.      Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

This flower thrives and flourishes even in dry seasons... What's that about?

One of the things I love to do at the end of spending time in my garden is to make some tussie mussies.   Tussie mussies are also called nosegays or posies; they are small flower bouquets typically given as a gift. Mine are pretty small - with cuttings no longer than 6 inches. I like the charm of these little tussie mussies. They are super fun to drop off by someone's mailbox or simply to set down near the register of your favorite barista. They look perfect when placed on top of a book or added to the top of a gift-wrapped package.   Irene Deitsch wrote a book called Tussie Mussies a few years ago and she explained the etymology of the word tussie mussie - which I found quite helpful.   “A ‘tussie’ is a nosegay, which is a Middle English word for a small group of flowers held together in a little bouquet. 'Mussie’ refers to the moss that was moistened and put around the stems of the flowers to keep them from wilting. That’s why they’re called tussie-mussies.”         Brevities #OTD  Today is the anniversary of the death of Jeanne Baret who died on this day in 1807. Baret was the first woman to have circumnavigated the world as part of the expedition which was led by Louis Antoine de Bougainville.   Beret was able to join the expedition after posing as a valet to the expedition's naturalist: Philibert Commerçon.   Before the expedition, Baret had been employed as Commerçon's housekeeper. A few years later his wife died and Baret took over the management of the household in addition to having a personal relationship with Commerçon.   Commerçon had poor health and it was likely that he needed Baret to join him on the expedition because he needed her assistance.   Baret herself was actually a botanist herself and her own right.  When the ship stopped in Rio de Janeiro, an old leg injury prevented Commerçon from collecting specimens. Thus , it was Baret who ventured out into the tropics and returned with the lovely tropical vine that would be named to honor the expedition's commander: Bougainvillea.     #OTD  It’s the birthday of Frederick William Calcut Paxford who was born on this day in 1898.   Paxford was CS Lewis's gardener from 1930 until Lewis' death in 1963.   Paxford was the inspiration for Puddleglum; the marsh Weigle and the silver chair in the chronicles of Narnia where Puddleglum was described  as,   “an inwardly optimistic, outwardly pessimistic, dear, frustrating, shrewd countryman of immense integrity.“   Paxford and Lewis were the same age. However, Paxford had served during World War I, and he had been gassed as a soldier.    Nearly a decade after the war, Lewis bought his property in Oxfordshire called the Kilns. When Paxford was hired, he spent many years preparing the grounds. He leveled the lawn in front of the house. He set out flowers and a Rose arbor. He established both an orchard and a vegetable garden. and he  helped raise rabbits and chickens.   Lewis called Paxford, “our indispensable factotum” (A factotem is an employee who does all kinds of tasks.)   Meanwhile, Paxford always referred to Sinclair Lewis as "Mr. Jack". Here are a few of Paxford's memories about Lewis:   "Mr. Jack loved the trees and would not have a tree cut down or lopped.  When we had to take some [branches] to make a rose trellis, we had to get them when he was away for a few days and cover up the cuts with mud so that they would not be seen."   Paxford lived in a little private Bungalow in the garden and he stayed there for 33 years. When Lewis died, Paxford was only bequeathed 100 pounds. To which he replied, "Well, it won’t take me far, will it?"   #OTD   Today is the anniversary of the death of Candice Wheeler who died on this day in 1923. Candice Wheeler is often called "the mother of interior design". In addition to design, Wheeler loved gardening and she helped create the artist community of Onteora.   Onteora was known for its unique homes and gardens. In its prime, it was a summer colony teaming with artists set in New York’s Catskill Mountains.   Wheeler’s garden was known as Wildmuir. Wildmuir had wonderful lawn, specimen rhododendrons, laurels, and evergreen trees. In the 1920s, Wildmuir was updated by Harold Caparn, who designed the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.   Like Martha Stewart, Candice Wheeler was multitalented. Her publishing credits include a variety of books; from How to Make Rugsto Content in a Garden.   Content in a Gardenis partly an essay and partly a guide as to what can be grown in a small space. Wheeler wrote from her own experiences.  In a 1923 newspaper advertisement for the book, the reviewer wrote that Candice Wheeler and her daughter, Dora Wheeler Keith, "are thoroughly in sympathy with nature, of which the former writes as charmingly as the latter illustrates it."   And it was Candace Wheeler who said,   "One of the most perfect and unfailing joys of life is planting. It is the creative joy felt by God."       Unearthed Words Today, we honor the poetry of Wendell Erdman Barry, an American author whose extraordinary nature poetry grew out of his experiences as a farmer.    Barry is responsible for so many wonderful quotes and poems. It was difficult to pick just a few. Here are some of my favorites:   "Eating is an agricultural act." "Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup." “Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.”  “I don't believe that grief passes away. It has its time and place forever. More time is added to it; it becomes a story within a story. But grief and griever alike endure.”        Today's book recommendation: The Herb Garden Cookbook by Lucinda Hutson Southern Livingsaid this about Lucinda Hutson's book:   "Lucinda Hutson’s garden is something of a legend in Austin. An invitation from Lucinda, an authority on ethnic herbs and an accomplished cook, to sample a new dish or special punch in her flamboyant setting is a guaranteed fiesta. . . . And her gusto for entertaining and cooking is exemplified in her recipes [in] The Herb Garden Cookbook."   If you’ve ever wondered what to do with all the herbs growing in your garden, Hutson‘s book will be an inspiration for you.   This book was published back in 2003, but it is a classic. You can get used copies on Amazon using the link provided in today's show notes for under three dollars.     Today's Garden Chore Now is the time to start pansy seed for fall color to your beds and containers and window boxes.   Pansies can handle cooler temperatures. When your geraniums and begonias and other summer bloomers are starting to get leggy and spent, pansies are nice way to add a dash of color with their adorable little faces.   If you look closely at pansies, you’ll see that their petals are heart-shaped and they overlap. Despite their sweet faces, pansies are tough. They will survive a frost. They can bounce back from single-digit temperatures (which I think is incredible).    And remember, pansies love morning sun the best - they're not thrilled with hot afternoon sun. They're too cool for that.   Just a heads up: Pansy seed can be finicky and slow going, so check out some YouTube videos for germination tips to ensure success.     Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart   On this day in 1998, The Province out of Vancouver, British Columbia shared an article written by Peter Clough that caught my attention. The title was called Hydrangea Fest Yanked by Rootsand began with the sentence, "It’s a blooming shame."   Here’s what it said:   "Saturday was supposed to be the inaugural SurreyWhite Rock Hydrangea Blossom Festival.   For organizer Elaine Cramer, it was going to be the realization of a dream she's had for 15 years to bring a world-class floral parade to the Lower Mainland. Now it's not going to happen; not this year at least.   After months of planning, the parade has been cancelled. [...]   Elaine is no novice when it comes to hydrangeas. She actually studied them at university. Her garden's home to several varieties.   [Elaine] says Surrey was equally enthusiastic. In fact, she says, it was Mayor Doug McCallum who convinced her that the best route through Surrey was 152nd Street. So she was a little shocked two weeks ago when she sat down before the city's special-events committee to be told by chairwoman Council Judy Higginbotham that her permit had been denied.   She's been working with Surrey officials for more than a year and only now does she learn of the problem.   Elaine and her 30 volunteers plan to give away more than 10,000 hydrangea bushes between now and October with next year's parade in mind. That's if she can get a permit."     Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Revisiting my (surprisingly) long career, with thoughts on art, audience, and "making it." Oh, and being multi-genre. Also dishing on Big Little Lies and Juliet, Naked. The quote I reference is: "When one's young one doesn't feel a part of it yet, the human condition; one does things because they are not for good; everything is a rehearsal. To be repeated ad lib, to be put right when the curtain goes up in earnest. One day you know that the curtain was up all the time. That was the performance." ~Sybille Bedford, from Walking on Alligators: a Book of Meditations for Writers, by Susan ShaughnessySupport the show (http://paypal.me/jeffekennedy)

The first woman to circumnavigate the world did so dressed as a man. In 1766, 26-year-old Jeanne Baret joined a French expedition hoping to conceal her identity for three years. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of her historic journey around the globe. We'll also hear Mark Twain's shark story and puzzle over a foiled con artist.

Join me today as I talk about yellow leaves on fruit trees and why it may or may not be a fertilizer issue. A friend contacted me about a black spot developing on the surface of his saguaro and if he should be concerned. How to prune bougainvillea when it does survive the winter or when it doesn't. And where to get some of the fruit trees I recommend and what time of year you should do it. Join me as I talk about these topics and more on Desert Horticulture.Support the show (https://xtremehorticulture.blogspot.com/)

In 1767, a young French servant boarded a ship and sailed around the world, collecting plants previously unknown to Western science. The ship’s crew knew the servant as “Jean,” the scrappy aide to the expedition’s botanist. But “Jean” had a secret. She was actually Jeanne Baret, a woman disguised as a man—and she was about to make botanical history.  Annie and Elah recently told this story for a live audience at On Air Fest. Here are some of the pictures from that talk. There are, of course, no photos of Jeanne Baret, but we do have this portrait of her as imagined by an unknown artist a few years after her death. (Via Wikimedia Commons)   Philibert Commerson, the botanist on the expedition, Baret’s boss, and believed to be her lover as well. (By P.

Find, print and hang more photos in our home.   Why? I scrapbooked 2005-2009 of my life and then again for part of 2013. I am so grateful to have documented the stories of that time in my life, especially as my nieces and nephews were born. I want to fill in the gaps and document those stories before I lose them. Kids were still so little then. So many cute photos, memories, milestones. funny things they said. I have boxes of photos & memorabilia my mother thoughtful saved for me. I want to organize it and purge what I don’t want and find a system for making this into something worth saving and sharing. I want to remember and celebrate my life. I want to share stories with my family and pass along wisdom where I can.   What I've done so far:   Identified an approach- Stacy Julian, Library of Memories approach combined with Project Life divided page protectors Sorted through childhood memorabilia based on these categories Assessed finished scrapbooks. Sort through emails and journals. Momento app all to pull social media. Reorganize 2014 photos already printed into LOM approach. Started scrapbooking them! Heard tip to put photos in divided  Pocket Pages first. get that finished. Did that while binge watching with dan and my friend laura. felt productive but didn't take as much brain space as actually scrapbooking. Easier to batch and liked that I could do it from the couch. Working on Project Life App for 2017 and 2016 photos. Appreciate that the app allows me to scrapbook on my phone anywhere.   Resources   Apps: Momento- access your social media feeds as a means for triggering journaling Google Photos Photo Fab {free} Class (explains how to use Google Photos) Becky Higgins Blog Post about Google Photos Pic Tap Go- for editing   Podcasts: The Scrap Gals Modern Photo Solutions Live Inspired with Tracie Claiborne   Websites + Blogs Simple Scrapper Project Life + Library of Memories Approaches Combined Ways to cope with sentimental things     March- my focus will be about automation.

På Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet i Alnarp har man startat ett forskningsprojekt för att i förlängningen kunna få fram en feromonfälla som ska kunna användas mot mördarsniglar (spansk skogssnigel). Katarina Lindholm, som håller i det första försöket, ger råd om bekämpning idag, och berättar om sin egen relation till mördarsniglarna. Maj-Lis Pettersson ger råd om när man bör sätta potatis och om hallon och havtorn ska beskäras. Dessutom berättar hon om vad man gör med tulpaner som slutat blomma och om hur man skyddar nyplanterade träd mot vattensork. Veckans människa bakom växtnamnet är mannen bakom Bougainvillea (trillingblomma).
