Day job intrudes on blogging, which is good (half full) in the sense the economy must be picking up
\nif I’m busier, but which is also not so good (half empty) since I can’t grab a few minutes to blog this week.
\nBut mysteriously enough, someone has grabbed my camera and left this photo on the card. (Wouldn’t it
\nmake a lovely watercolor study for someone with lots of time on their hands?) Sums this week up nicely.
\n(Edited to add: And are those ants circling the rim, something I missed in haste this morning?
\nAnother commentary on the past workweek?!<\/i>)<\/p>\n

And I was admiring this morning the contrast of matte leaves with shiny leaves, as in this photo of coprosma and hellebore,
\nwhich tossed me down the rabbit hole of plant combinations, how it’s thrilling when they work, or that you once had the
\npresence of mind to invent them, or that they sometimes appear whether you had the initial presence of mind or not, but at
\nthe very least you can recognize a good thing when you see it. But must leave the topic woefully unexplored for today.<\/p>\n

The coprosma is for full sun, and this hellebore does surprisingly well in the full sun it will get this summer too.<\/p>\n

For sheer high gloss, I don’t know of a plant yet that rivals Angelica pachycarpa:<\/p>\n

Here’s to half-empty weekends, please.
