#Botanic House

"But don't let its beauty fool you. This plant can be processed into a powerful neurotoxin which can cause near permanent madness unless treated!"

Professor Calculus, upon developing a state-of-the-art automated hydroponics and pesticides delivery system, has been invited to judge a prestigious international flower show at the largest botanical garden in Belgium.

Botany experts and amateurs from around the world attend - Professor Zalamea is there to showcase his bizarre genetically modified bioluminescent blue oranges, Nash is displaying some of his explorations into living sculpture, and Castafiore is geared up to perform in the evening. Most controversially of all, Professor Fang Hsi Ying, a world leading expert on mental health, is showcasing his research on the Rajaijah plant, a plant historically used to produce madness poison.

It's this exhibit that causes a stir at the event. Security is on high alert. After the poison was used a few years ago in several high profile drug smuggling cases that were embroiled in politics, the plant is anticipated to be a subject of fear and Orientalism. Protestors calling for its destruction flock the event, and there are rumours of a plot to steal the rare plant. The organisers hope that the controversy will generate ticket sales and revenue.

Tintin and Chang are there to report on the goings on, having just confessed their feelings for each other. They're not sure what they are just yet - but even without a madness poison, Tintin's head is in a spin!

I had the idea to bring back Rajaijah juice for some time and was intially going to set it at a garden party, but I received this message from anon some time ago:

And I just loved the Drama of a botanical garden a whole lot more!

Because of the time it takes for me to make stuff and the planning that goes into my posts I do take a very long time to respond to messages, and sometimes multiple people send similar messages anticipating stuff I already have planned, so if I come across as standoffish I apologise, I just have a lot on my plate (by my own design tbh)!

I love every message I receive, I started this blog intending to respond to every message but that's becoming unrealistic ;_; I keep your messages to read back whenever I need motivation, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you if you've sent me an ask!

2022年 クリスマス直前情報。シドニーで楽しむクリスマスランチ。The Christmas lunch in Sydney for 2022

こんばんは、シドニーマンです。 12月に入り少し夏らしくなってきたシドニーです。それでも夜は肌寒いです。 そんな夏のクリスマスを盛り上げるイベントとして多くのレストランではクリスマス特別メニューを準備しています。 昨年までは、コロナ禍で規制もあり色々難しかったのですが、今年はコロナ前の状態に非常に近いです。 シドニーのクリスマスメニューを準備しているレストランを探してみました。 私はシドニー郊外にあるレストランに今も勤務しています。 勤務先のレストランがシドニー郊外にあるので今でも人手不足の煽りを受けている為クリスマス、ボクシングデーはお店を閉めます。 ですがシドニー中心地にあるレストランや絶景ポイントにあるレストランはクリスマス特別メニューを準備しています。 *今年は大変多くのレストランがクリスマス目がけて準備しています。ですのでご了承して頂きたいのですが、これからご紹…

I've mentioned before that I'm hoping to attend my first conventions next year, selling some prints and other things! So I'm finally letting myself take some hours here and there to work on personal things, including something I've wanted to do for a while; a little set of botanical inspired dragons!

Autumn in summer, and summer in autumn.

These pictures were taken on a cool (18°C) July day, when the only things reminding us of summer were the sunlight, the sky colour and the flowers. That day, I felt like dressing in autumn colours. Today, it's October 4th, but the temperature has reached 29°C, which is quite abnormal in Québec. Is it a bit concerning? Definitely. I guess it's once again my cue to encourage you to thrift durable things instead of buying new, at least, when you can. And durable means you can keep your loved things for a long time! I know we all have a big footprint on our poor planet, but we might as well try our best to reduce it in ways we can for the short time we are here.

Plant of the Day

Wednesday 18 September 2024

In the cacti house of Inverness Botanic Garden, Scotland, was the tender subshrub Pelargonium tetragonum (square stalked geranium, square-stack cranesbill). This plant has a sprawling habit with distinctive square, jointed, succulent stems and the flowers are produced in pairs. This species thrives in poor soils with excellent drainage in a sunny or lightly shaded place.

If you love gardening and bringing the outdoors in, this home is amazing. Look at the greenhouse! And, if you love horses, it's an equestrian facility, too! Built in 1979 in Marietta, Georgia, it has 5bds, 7ba, $5.950M.

The house itself is modern rustic. Lots of stone and wood, but some different touches like the ceiling and mezzanine.

Banquet sized dining area w/a large built-in sideboard & bar.

Check out the kitchen- there's a fireplace with a balcony above.

Have you ever seen anything like this? There are so many different guest houses and spaces with kitchens.

Here's a big game room with a garage door. Plus a kitchenette.

Patio and pool at the back of the house.

Chicken coop.

The horse facility.

Check out the green house.

Isn't this fabulous?

The grounds are stunning.

All sorts of little outbuildings and botanical garden park-like property.

Can you imagine owning this?

Outdoor kitchen.

And, look at the chapel on the grounds.

The back of the chapel has a roof top deck.

Looks like Bocce Ball.

8.59 acres of gorgeous property.

大晦日(NYE)シドニーレストラン情報 (サーキュラーキー、ロックス編)

こんばんは、シドニーマンです。 シドニーにいると大晦日（ニューイヤーイブ　New Year Eve)はとても大変な日なのです。 なぜなら年明けカウントダウン花火があるからです。 シドニーの大晦日(NYE) シドニーで過ごす大晦日は特別です。 それは世界的にも有名なイベント、カウントダウン花火が打ち上げられるからです。この日は午後9時に1回目の花火が上がり、新年になった途端上記の動画のような大迫力の花火が打ち上げられ新年を祝ってくれます。上記の動画を見ていただければその規模の大きさが分かっていただけると思います。 *大晦日を英語ではニューイヤーイブ(New Year Eve)と言い、略してNYEと表記したりします。 大晦日シドニー恒例カウントダウン年越し花火。　絶景スポット特集。Sydney Countdown…
