I have this plant on my deck, it is a variety of Rex begonia, called "Escargot", because the leaves are shaped in a spiral, like the shell of a snail. It's not that special of a plant, but I'm always in awe when I see it:

How pretty, and how unusual! I'm in awe, too!
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas
"We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet

Sigh.
A dear dear friend has let me use space in her garden - she's a property owner, and this is not at a house she lives in, but one she rents out. She definitely wants things to look pretty, so we have not put up any of the previous owner's fencing to keep the wild bunnies to. I very carefully started parsley, basil, sage and purple bail from seeds, nurturing the wee sprouts along until they were big enough to survive planting. Did so, they were in the ground and doing well - then the wild bunnies or someone came and ate all but the parsley that was set back. The purple basil in particular is hard to sprout, so I was disappointed it got eaten. But she is completely fine with that, and said, "Well, I'll just go but some plants somewhere." Not the point, really - if I knew there was not gonna be any fencing even after we put the seedlings in, I wouldn;t have gone to the effort. They also ate all the bean and pea plants people had given her.
I still have a few purple bail seedlings, gonna find somewhere safe to plant them!
