Butterflies

Franklin Park Conservatory

We visited the Franklin Park Conservatory for Father's Day. It was really lovely. There were half a dozen weddings going on. I enjoyed the butterfly, bonsai, and orchid exhibits. The pitcher plants were beautiful. Check out the tiny plants made of chipped glass, they look so real!

2nd chance orchid

This orchid suffered a horrible tragedy losing all of its leaves and 90% of its root system. He is making a nice recovery.

Happy Birthday David

I made David frosted sugar cookies to take to work. I must much too hot this week to make cake. I will this weekend.

Oyster Mushrooms

This is the third harvest of the year, and we aren't done yet.  I removed the more fully developed lobes, and allowed the smaller ones to continue growing.  The weather has been excellent for mushrooms and not as good for my succulents.
