To keep the Grampies off... lol

What an easy, and clever, fix. We will give it a try.

Thanks, Mark. That explanation makes a lot of sense.

Cleaning tip: hydrogen peroxide will get rid of the blood without damaging the material. It lyses the red blood cells and it's like magic... poof! it's gone!

My understanding is that it keeps bees from cross-pollinating, and produces seedless fruit.

Thanks for confirming the problem. It is now (next morning) fixed and should be ready to be viewed, and hopefully enjoyed.

It has now been fixed thanks to Jeff's usual rapid response time.

Same family as milkweeds.

Yes it's bizarre. In "edit" I see the pictures but just viewing the blog, only that giant one. I will write to Jeff and see if he can fix it.

It’s the same as yours Suzanne.

I wonder how this entry looks on other people's screens. I see no pictures except for the giant one and the page is very wide, much wider than the text. Everything else on CB is normal for me.

Apparently so, although it looks different from the variety Dodie recalls from her childhood. That was not a vine and the pods were smaller.

We love the reflected light from the blue windows. It is so serene and soothing.

There is a church in Mainz that is all Chagal windows. The blue hue is quite nice in the church.

I think you’ve discovered what we call the dreaded Milk Weed, Steve. Quel horreur! It flourishes in Auckland by climbing trees, or anything handy, and then showering the garden with small seeds which repeat the process a thousand fold. Good you could just look and move on.
