Baihe novels I read in 2023, in order of when I read them:

Miss Forensics by Jiu Nuan Chun Shen. Contemporary thriller featuring a push-pull romance between a forensic pathologist and a police detective. Big action scenes, big emotional set-pieces, big emotions.

Distance by Mi Nao Nao. Contemporary romance billed as 'woman who has broken a thousand hearts vs woman who has never lost her heart'. I found it underwritten and lacking in structure, but lots of people seem to like it.

The Collapsing Palace by Ming Ye. Historical palace harem novel. A wilful noblewoman marries her cousin, the crown prince, so she can get close to his mother/her aunt the empress, whom she's been crushing on since forever. And she's not even the most toxic / messed up main character in this novel.

Life is Like a Dream by Qing Xiang. A short novel set in the Yue opera scene during the Republican Era. Small-scale, elegantly understated, makes highly effective of use of the author's detailed knowledge of opera and the opera scene.

Suffocation by Hua Qiong Ran. One of those 'toxic lesbians' contemporary thrillers, featuring the protagonist being repeatedly stalked and imprisoned by her own wife. Amped up the depravity too quickly to be wholly effective.

Zebra Crossing by Yi Bai Shou. Early baihe novel featuring a romance between a CEO and police detective, a mixture of thriller and romance. Strong beginning with appealing characters, somewhat let down by meandering middle and end and odd approach to extras.

She Belongs to Me by Da Ying. An uncomplicated contemporary romance between two femme professional women who are excellent communicators. Does make effective use of several k-drama style romantic set-pieces.

Bo Zhou by Ruo Hua Ci Shu. Time loop contemporary romance in which the protagonist tries to safe her girlfriend's life again and again. Overall competently plotted, well-paced and genuinely suspenseful.

The Tribulation of the Peach Runaway Blossom by Ning Yuan. A solid xianxia/xuanhuan novel with a big cast of complex female characters, competent world-building and assured prose. Somewhat falls down on the main romance (though the secondary romances make up for that a little), which was at once the lynchpin of the plot and not particularly present on the page.

The Abandoned by Mu Feng Qing Nian. Three words: sapphic xianxia shizunfuckery. Horny unhinged lesbians, plot twists on top of plot twists, and much violence.

Her Mountain, Her Sea by Fu Hua. A contemporary high school romance. Very solid, competent slice-of-life for the most part. The leads are well-characterised and their growing relationship is deftly handled, especially in the early stages.

The Creator's Grace by Ning Yuan. A near future sci-fi thriller. 12/10, no notes (though the sci-fi element is subordinate to the romance and thriller elements).

Minister Xie by Ruo Hua Ci Shu. This historical novel is The Goblin Emperor meets Sha Po Lang. Teenage emperor Liu Zao does her best to turn her prime minister Xie Yi (who is 14 years older) into her wife.

Snow on Her Pillow by Liu Yuan Chang Ning. Historical fiction featuring a romance between Princess Jieyou and her devoted attendant Feng Liao (described as the first official female diplomat in Chinese history). Competently and compellingly written; manages the Feat of treating Central Asian characters (of which there are many) as regular, undemonised people.

Spring on the River by Da Ying. This xuanhuan novel features supernatural women behaving very very badly, weird structure and pacing, and a rather hapless main character who frequently reminded me of a protagonist in a shoujo reverse harem novel.

Listen, God by Xian Yu Bu Chi Cai. A contemporary time loop thriller featuring a romance between a scriptwriter and an up-and-coming actress. Mostly carefully and cleverly plotted (though starts to unravel in the last 20%), though the relationship development between the leads left me cold.

A Taste of You by Si Bai Ba Shi Si. A contemporary romance between a talented chef and a CEO. A grounded, realist novel told through a charmingly wry first-person POV (bar a sharp swerve into melodrama in the last 10%), deeply embedded in the local lesbian scene.

Snow in the Spring Courtyard by Liu Yuan Chang Ning. This wuxia novel had good relationship development, a compelling love interest, and excellent pacing, and is likely to appeal to readers for those reasons. For me personally, it was let down by an extraordinarily bleak view of the jianghu which I don't think the author was fully aware of.

I Think About You Day and Night by Yu Shuang. In this contemporary romance, a CEO rescues a penniless girl from an abusive household, and k-drama-style shenanigans ensue. There's terminal illness, birth secrets, an incest scare (dw they're not actually related), and corporate machinations. The author's commitment to these tropes and their emotional stakes makes this an enjoyably dramatic read.

Cover Her Face by Qing Tang Shuan Xiang Cai. A mostly breezy, mostly fluffy, and unexpectedly sexy historical romance plus a dash of wuxia, with likable main characters.

Waiting for You by Min Ran. A contemporary showbiz romance, basically an exes-to-reunited-lovers story courtesy of a handy rebirth and time rewind. Another one for the 'attractive femme couple resolves their relationship problems through Better Communication' folder.

Climbing High by Po Po Po. In this historical court intrigue novel, aspiring scholar Fang Jian sells herself into indentured servitude to court official Gao Yunqu in exchange for the latter's promise to help her free her parents from unjust imprisonment. Published on PO18, so allowed to be sexually explicit in ways JJWXC and Changpei novels can't be, and the author makes full use of this (though I found the sex scenes between the tertiary couples stronger than those between the main couple, for the most part). Very strong political writing, a great cast of complex female characters.

Majokko Carnival

So far on this blog I've covered several titles already that didn't last very long, and there are many more in that vein I plan to cover later. The magical girl genre is quite flexible, so longevity isn't inherently an indicator of quality. You could even, say, compile a bunch of shorter magical girl works into one publication. And on that note, today I want to look at one of the only anthologies of magical girl manga I've been able to find.

Majokko Carnival is a manga anthology published by Rapport Comics on April 20, 1991. It contains 16 standalone chapters by as many different artists, all centering witchy or otherwise magical girl protagonists.

Rapport has a really interesting history unto itself, but that's largely outside the scope of this blog. To give you the short version, they started out as an event planning company before pivoting to anime merchandise, originally distributed through mail order before eventually establishing their own storefront. They went defunct in 2003 and now seem to be best remembered for their manga anthologies, such as this one, as well as their manga magazine Fanroad, which was first published in 1980.

I haven't gotten to read this anthology for myself, nor have I been able to find much information about the stories contained within it, but I have found a listing of all 16 chapters and authors, so I'd like to go through what little I know of them one at a time. Note that I had to rely heavily on machine translation in order to make sense of this list, so apologies if some of these names are presented incorrectly.

Majokko Pomuru by Tsukasa-sei Takasaki

The manga whose protagonist is featured on the front cover. I wasn't able to find any synopsis of the plot but it was included on a list of magical gender bender manga in which male protagonists become magical girls, so make of that what you will. Tsukasa-sei Takasaki (who I've also seen referred to as Shiro Takasaki) is a doujinshi artist who seems to have mostly been active in the 90s and published at least one other work through Rapport.

Catty Black by Omoi Ataru

This is actually the first chapter, but for whatever reason the list linked above flipped the order of the first two. I haven't been able to find a plot synopsis for this one either, but the pictures I've found from it seem to present a slice-of-life comedy about a catgirl witch. The artist, Omoi Ataru, mostly worked in smaller scale manga, including some doujinshi, and she has more recently pivoted to doll customization.

Trouble Maker by Hirano Ramu

I haven't been able to track down plot details or even images for this one (or the next few) and the author is pretty elusive too. The only other work of theirs was published sometime between 1989 and 1992, all of it somehow more obscure than Majokko Carnival.

Hirune by ○Mikan

Hirune is the Japanese word for nap. This is the first installment of a series called Sora no Majo (or Witch of the Sky) which would continue publication in Fanroad until 1994. The artist has gone by a number of names over the years and is still active on Pixiv, having pivoted to hentai. ...'Kay.

Majo Monogatari by Tawashi

The title translates to Witch Story. Tawashi (who I've also seen referred to as Tsukako) is a part time manga artist who also works as a nurse, and has even written a manga called Nurse Story, published by Rapport in 1993. She's written about witches a couple other times, but sadly I haven't been able to find any information about any of them, including this one.

Manatsu no Yozora ni Zebra ga Tobu! by Hibino Mariya

The title approximately translates to The Zebra Flies in the Midsummer Night Sky. I would love to know what that means in the context of the story but, predictably, searching turned up few useful results. I've also had difficulty transcribing the artist's name, 日比野魔俐婀. I've seen it translated a bunch of different ways, so if anybody is able to contribute a more accurate reading of it, it would be much appreciated. They contributed illustrations to two other manga I was able to find: Halloween, written by Marialle, and Babylon, written by Tact.

Kenage na Amulet by Hokoi Satoshi

Title translates approximately to Healthy Amulet or Amulet of Good Health (I think). While I haven't found any details about this manga, I was able to find a review for another Satoshi Hokoi manga that may shed some insight as to the author's style. Portrait, a 1992 manga also published by Rapport, has a very dark tone and heavy story elements despite its' cute art style. This artist has since pivoted to erotica published under the pseudonym Gyro Amarume.

A Kuvira! Dark Princess by Fujisawa Naoto

Another one without any pictures or plot details. Apparently this one was reprinted on May 1, 1994 in another Rapport anthology called Pretty Daisakusen (Pretty Operation), but there's even less information out there about that one than there is on Majokko Carnival. Naoto Fujisawa would publish two other manga through Rapport in the 90s, both of them shoujo: Death Rocker in 1993 and Gargoyle in 1996. The former ran for two volumes until 1998 and even got reprinted in June of 2004 as a single-volume omnibus by Daito Comics.

Chotto Matte ne by Tokumi Yuiko

The title is a slightly more casual and familiar variation on the phrase "wait a moment". Yuiko Tokumi is a renowned illustrator who has contributed to various visual novels, card games, and even done character design for at least one anime figure, as well as plenty of doujinshi (including a Sailor Moon doujin in 1996). She is best known for creating Binzume Yousei (Bottle Fairies) and Slow Start which were released as anime in 2003 and 2018 respectively. (You would think her notoriety would mean there's more information available about Chotto Matte ne, but alas.)

Mahou Soudou by Nantoka Fumihiko

Title translates to Magic Commotion. Fumihiko Nantoka also contributed a manga titled Suna no Majo (Witch of Sand) to Pretty Daisakusen, but I haven't been able to track down any information about that one either. For that matter, all of their manga is pretty obscure. Much of it was published by Rapport and everything I could find publication dates for is from the 90s.

Beginner's Ray by Tashiro Takuya

Takuya Tashiro has mostly worked on action manga, particularly ones with sexy female protagonists, and he was active into the 2010s. His series Najica Dengeki Sakusen was published in English as Najica Blitz Tactics and Atori Shou is his longest running manga at seven volumes.

Wiz Master by E=MC2

Of everything on this list this is THE single hardest combination of words to find anything relevant with. All I have to go on is a where-are-they-now type roundup of smaller manga artists in a blog post from 2014. That post indicated E=MC2 isn't as active as some of the others and mostly does manga about catgirls.

Kurayama Otome by Yokoyama Hiroko

Title means Kurayama maiden, with Kurayama being a Japanese surname that apparently has a variety of meanings. I wasn't able to find much about Hiroko Yokoyama's older work, but she is still active on Pixiv (though fair warning: a small number of her art there is NSFW). She even has some of her newer comics available in English, which is way cool from an accessibility standpoint!

A Looking Glass by Takekura Riku

Riku Takekura is another obscure artist who mostly seems to have been active in the 90s and heavily associated with Rapport. They won a "special award" when they placed 3rd in the FR Contest in 1990 (though I couldn't find what for). A manga of theirs titled Aoi. Hyouma Ran (Blue. Possession) was published in the horror themed August 1991 special edition issue of Fanroad, titled Nightzone. The most recent work of theirs I can find, a manga titled Leaf, was published by Rapport in April of 1996.

Rinji Majo Baita Yukiko! by Yumenohashi Kouichi

This title approximates to Extraordinary Witch Bitch Yukiko!... I think. Kouichi Yumenohashi (who also goes by Koichiro Takahashi) is still active in the industry and seems to specialize in sports manga.

Sore Ike Sen Hitoshi-chan by Hirano Masahiro

My understanding is sore ike means something like "go ahead!" and I'm guessing Sen Hitoshi-chan is the main character's name. This is one that the machine translations really struggled with (the original text is それいけ千仁矢ちゃん for the manga's title and 平乃眞砂廣 for the artist's name if anybody wants to take a crack at it) and, once again, I haven't found any information about the manga itself. Even the mangaka is very obscure, his only other original work being a manga titled Africa that I couldn't find any info on either. Apparently he also contributed to a Fire Emblem anthology, so that's neat.

So... what have we learned?

One of the things that really interested me about Majokko Carnival is that it came out at the tail end of the pre- Sailor Moon era. I know we can be pretty reductive when talking about Sailor Moon's influence on the magical girl genre, but it is notable how much more popular the magical fighter archetype is after her debut than before it. Plenty of older magical girls were either witches or just girls who happened to use magic, and that's something this anthology perfectly encapsulates, based on what little I could find about it.

Beyond that though, I was surprised by how in-house this was. Many of these artists had their other work published by Rapport, either in Fanroad or other anthologies. While some of them went on to find broader success after their time with the company, I get the sense not all of them wanted to. There's actually something weirdly heartening about how Rapport was able to be this sort of platform for smaller artists who may not have had other, better resources at their disposal. The rise of the internet has made it easier to get one's creative works out there (though that certainly comes with its own pitfalls), but I still think it's worth taking a look back at the kinds of stories people were trying to tell before that framework had been established. I would love it if there were more magical girl anthologies like this one. I would love it if more information about this one became available. But if nothing else, I'm glad Majokko Carnival exists.

All animal species (and a couple algae) that have kept the same scientific name since Linnaeus

The first work of taxonomy that is considered as having any scientific authority for animal species was the 10th edition of Linnaeus' Systema Naturae, published in 1758. (Also a book on spiders called Aranei Suecici, published one year before.) That's the foundational text of the binominal system of nomenclature of species still in use today. Since then most of Linnaeus' original species (4379 species, of which 185 mammals, 554 birds, 217 "amphibians" (including reptiles and cartilaginous fish), 379 fishes, 2104 "insects" (including various arthropods, of which 664 are beetles and 543 are moths & butterflies crammed into only 3 genera), and 940 "worms" (including basically all other invertebrates, and even some protists and algae)) have been dismembered, renamed, or at least moved to different genera (e.g. the house sparrow went from Fringilla domestica to Passer domesticus).

Here is a list of all of Linnaeus' original species from 1758 that still retain their original name. I believe they are 484 in total.

BEHÇET NECATİGİL (1916-1979) 1916’da İstanbul’da doğduğunda (o gün onunla dünyaya gelen çocuklar arasında) “Yüzü yüzüne en çok benzeyen çocuk!” diye bir kayıt düştüğü söylenir babasının, Takvim-i Ragıp’ın bir kıyısına. Gözleri (o pek azınızın usunda olan gözleri) biraz odanın, biraz da dışarısının karanlığını kuşanır. Vücudu İstanbul’un o eski sokaklarının, evlerinin esmerliğini alınca bildiğimiz o sureti çıkar. Evlerin dip odalarında gider gelir. 1930’larda bu durgun çocuk, hem okula gidiyor, hem annesiyle sokakta top oynayan çocuklara bakıyordur (Kabataşlı anneler o zamanlar çocuklarıyla pencerelerden ayrılmazlardı). Gider üstünü değişir: İlk basılı şiirini okuyordur çünkü (Varlık, Ekim 1935). 1940-1943. Kars’ı Zonguldak’ı görür. - Öğretmenim! diyorlardır çocuklar. Askerken ilk ata bindiği söylenir (görenler beyaz bir at diyorlar). Artık otlar, karıncalar, devedikenleri, hanımböcekleri, Pan’ın teneffüsü, çalılar, kuşlar, ikindi vakitleri okşamaktadır yüzünü. Kapalı Çarşı diye on bir heceli bir sözcüğü hecelediğinden mi? Öyle olmalı: İlk gözağrısı (1945). Biliyoruz kırları severdi en çok. Ve sıradan böcekleri. Ama birden yere yüzükoyun uzanıp “tabiatla haşir neşir” olmak yetmiştir. Gökleri, yıldızları geç bir kalem, der, Beşiktaş’ta, Barbaros meydanında dolaşırken (Çevre, 1951). Ve yavaş yavaş evlerle savaşa başlamıştır artık, düştüğünden yüzü. ‘Şayet aşk’ dese de... İlk arkadaşlıklar (o zaman Abasıyanık 1906, Külebi 1917, Akbal 1923, Birsel 1919, Dağlarca 1914, Aksal 1920, Tirali 1925 midir?). Daha çocukken, “Savrulan karlara bakacağım,” diye tutturmuştur. Ama Fikret gibi evlere kapanmaktır en iyisi (her gün üç paket cıgara ve çocukluğu). İnerse Beşiktaş’a iner artık. Elinde filesi. Yaşlılığında birçoğumuz gibi gözlüğü hep yanında dururdu. Şiiri mi? Şiiri yükseklik korkusunun şiiridir. 1955’lerde duvarlarda gergef işi bir levhanın önünde yazacaktır (annesinin elinden çıkmış). Araf’lar açıklanmalıdır çünkü (1958). Dar Çağ’la hesaplaşmış bir dergâha (sevgili içine) yazılacaktır. Kitaplarda mı ölmek istiyordur? Yeryüzü -neden söylememeli- birden yeryüzü olmaktan çıkmıştır. Hem ne zamandır ellerini cebine soksa cıgaralar, akşamüstleri, kâğıtlar, ıssız kırlara bakan Pan, aşkın hiçlikleri, Panik (ki Divançe diye bir kitaba girecektir) sağır duvarlar, şiirlere üşenmelerimiz, kurşunkalemler, bir teyel. Ve Yaz Dönemi. Ve En/Cam ve Zebra. En çok sevdiği çiçek mi? Gecesefaları elbet. Okurken biraz önüne bakardı (ölümlerde, aşklarda). Bir çilehane özlemi mi? Bir Eski Toprak’lı. Uzatmalı bir nefer. Çünkü nice yollar gidilmiştir (çokken bir şiirin tarihinde ve bankalar gibi bir bilanço yapılmalıdır Aktif-pasif görünmelidir). Bu hınçla sarılır Beyler’e (1978), çünkü ta gerilerden (bir geri hizmetten) Necatî Fâriğiz edemeyiz kimseye tâpû beyler diyordur. Hiç bıyık bırakmış mıdır? Hayır. Ama sakalı hep uzamıştır. Şiirleri (İlhan Berk’e göre) en çok üstüne başına benzeyendi. Çocukluğunun sağlık raporlarında hızlı atıyordu kalbi deniyor. Biliyoruz hep bir ayraç bırakmıştır şiirlerde bir gün dolduralım diye biz. Sunu Bir gün öldü. Gidip geldiği sokaklar, bir kırlangıç, bir kâğıt, bir ıstampa, bir kalem/alkol yanmasında/bir fotokopi, bir kumsaati, yarım kalmış bir şiir, bir patika, cenazesinde bulundu mu? bilmiyorum. Bir bulut bir süre onu izlemiş. Geçerken parmağını kaldırmış bir çocuk. Bir deniz parçası, bir ağaç büyümesini bir an bırakmıştır. Masası uzun zaman kendine gelememiştir. O gün gök açıkmış diyorlar. - İlhan Berk, Behçet Necatigil (1916-1979) (Deniz Eskisi) (Aşk Tahtı / 1976-1982 / Toplu Şiirler II) - Görsel: Behçet Necatigil (Kalender Dergisi, Sayı:6, Mart-Nisan 2019, İki Aylık Edebiyat Dergisi)

Terraforming Biodiversity

The seedships that arrived at Alpha Centauri had limited space on board for genetic samples, with parahuman and uplift DNA given the highest priority. The unfortunate result being that the vast majority of Old Terra's rich biodiversity died with that planet, leaving Secland and later terraformed worlds an extremely limited gene pool to work with. 

During the terraforming process scientists struggled to fill in the niches left open by a gene bank weighed heavily towards domesticated and laboratory test animals. The possibility of making "downlifted" versions of the uplifted species was proposed but almost universally rejected by the uplifts in question. Instead, the Bureau of Ecosystem Management offered jobs to uplifts filling the ecological roles of their progenitors. This strategy worked surprisingly well, especially with apex predators such as dolphins.

Another approach was to modify the animals they did have using the non-human genes that had been incorporated into parahuman genomes. For instance Secland "bats" are actually heavily modified mice while the procyon is a fox given hand-like paws and a ringed tail.

Late in the terraforming process scientists made a breakthrough that would simplify later efforts. Large complexes of genes that could be activated or deactivated with specific epigenetic triggers were added to the genomes of many species that could produce massive physiological changes in later generations. That way a single breeding colony of ultra-ferrets could give birth to 20-centimeter long mini-ferrets, semi-aquatic ferr-otters, or two-meter mega wolverines as the ecosystem needed.

Unmissable Sights and Activities in Palm Springs

Nature lovers! This is a perfect spot for you!

Palm Springs is a holiday destination in the Sonoran Desert, surrounded by four mountain ranges. The resort city is popular for weekend getaways because it is only a three-hour drive from San Diego and a two-hour drive from Los Angeles!

The city and other adjacent communities known as the Coachella Valley are popular winter resorts. It is famed for its mid-century modern architecture, abundant championship golf courses, warm weather, and a joyous and inviting culture. Apart from golf resorts and swimming pools, there are a variety of tourist attractions, activities, and places to visit. Shopping, dining, museum visits, and excursions to the neighbouring desert, mountains, and canyons!

Did you know Palm Springs‘ busy season lasts from November to March? Yes! When most of North America is chilly, the population grows with tourists and snowbirds. During the annual Palm Springs Film Festival in January, the city attracts many Hollywood luminaries, while Modernism Week in February draws architecture and design enthusiasts from around the world. The city becomes much busier during the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals in Indio, some 30 minutes outside downtown.

Explore the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens

What began as an idea 50 years ago to preserve some pristine desert land as the region around it blossomed into a resort has evolved into a world-class zoo. The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in adjacent Palm Desert provide an opportunity to see desert plants and fauna and get insight into desert ecosystems worldwide.

The little zoo also houses horses, wolves, foxes, badgers, alpine lions, raptors, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, leopards, gazelles, and other creatures from North America and Africa.

The best time to visit is when the animals are still energetic before the day’s heat sets in. To learn about guided excursions to the outdoors, wildlife displays, and animal feeding times, consult the zoo’s daily schedule.

Participating in the daily giraffe feeding is a delight. Visitors can feed their giraffe herd from an observation deck. During the summer, it is done in the mornings, while during the other months, it is done all day. You can also mingle with the zoo’s horses and camels by helping keepers feed, nurture, and train them!

Palm Springs wind turbines

The San Gorgonio Pass, just west of Palm Springs, is one of the windiest spots on the planet, which is why it’s loaded with windmills! The pass, positioned on each side of the I-10 freeway as it approaches the Coachella Valley, provides strong and constant wind, which is required for power generation. Wind turbines cover acres of desert and hillsides, quietly creating electricity for the region.

The wind turbines can be seen by exiting the I-10 highway at the Indian Canyon exit or taking a guided tour. Palm Springs Windmill Tours is the only approved tour allowing you to go “behind the fence” and get up and personal with these massive machines! If you want the chilliest and rare experience, don’t miss out on this spot!

Palm Springs Art Museum

The Palm Springs Art Museum exhibits works of art, natural history, and the performing arts. The museum has been open since the late 1930s and used to focus nearly entirely on desert subjects and artists. Still, over time, the focus has evolved to a well-curated collection that includes contemporary and modern art, including Native American art! History lovers! Pay attention! This spot will blow your mind!

The museum features a vast collection of Native American arts, crafts and artefacts and great art. The museum also has a natural science collection that displays creatures and fossils, making it a terrific destination for kids and families to visit!

On the grounds, there are additionally two outdoor sculpture gardens. Paintings, photography, glass, ceramics, architecture, and design are among the museum’s permanent holdings, emphasising American Western art and artists. There are also short-term exhibitions and shows that change from season to season.

The museum’s massive Annenberg Theater hosts various music, dance, and dramatic productions and performances throughout the year that is extremely enjoyable! Schedule your trip according to the specific dates of your preferred show!

Get a taste of the date palms

Did you know Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley have a long agricultural heritage? Yes! You read it right! Dates are an important crop in the area, producing more than 90% of the dates farmed in the United States! This Middle Eastern fruit was initially cultivated in the desert in the early twentieth century, and it is one of the few crops that can be grown year-round in the region’s harsh climate.

The Shields Date Garden is located near Indio, roughly 30 minutes from Palm Springs. The nearly 20-acre date farm has a cafe, an informative tour of the date groves, and even a theatre screening a 1940s film about date farming. They also sell date shakes, a must-have date milkshake-like smoothie that every visitor to Palm Springs should experience!

Moorten Botanical Gardens and Cactarium’s barrel cactus

On the southern end of Palm Canyon Drive, just outside Palm Springs, are the Moorten Botanical Gardens and Cactarium. The extraordinary natural area features an amazing display of cacti and other desert flora, ranging from mature trees to newly sprouting plants. The gardens are at their best in the spring when the desert begins to blossom, and the trees are turning green again.

Although Moorten is open all year round, you can receive a free guided tour of the facilities from fall through spring as part of your admission.

In addition to being a botanical garden, the grounds also function as a business nursery where you can buy some plants to take home with you!

Dziki cykl. Opowieść IV: Żebra pana M.

A więc tak miałem jakieś 16 lat i miałem pomóc takiemu panu M który miał przyjechać do babci wozem z burakami cukrowymi i miałem pomóc mu je rozładować

Jeszcze kilka słów o panu M po śmierci dziadka pan M pomagał babci w różnych sprawach gospodarskich takich bardziej męskich z którymi babcia sama by sobie nie poradziła pan M był typem pijaczka ale i kochał to co robi pamiętam jak uczył mnie konia jak organizował zimą kuligi

Pan M lubił wypić a że nie lubił pić sam to często częstował piwem konia

I tak rzeczonego dnia pijany pan M został przygwożdżony wozem pełnym buraków cukrowych przez pijanego konia

Tak ich zastałem

Nie wiedziałem co robić stałem jak wryty

Za namową pana M próbowałem sibnąć konia ale jego krzyki skutecznie mnie od tego odwiodły

Bardzo ale to bardzo nie wiedziałem co robić i w końcu pobiegłem po babcię by dzwoniła na pogotowie i po ludzi z warsztatu po sąsiedzku by pomogli mi odczepić konia i siłą ludzkich niepijanych rąk przesunąć wóz

Pamiętam jeszcze że dopóki pan M był przygwożdżony do muru był przytomny wydawał rozkazy mówił co mamy robić ale gdy tylko wóz został przesunięty osunął się na ziemię i zdał sobie sprawę chyba chyba nie był wcześniej tego świadom jak poważna jest sytuacja jak pod dziwnymi kątami zebra jego wystają z klatki piersiowej jak źle jest...

Pamiętam jak stałem już z boku jak nie mogłem dojść do pozostałych gdy próbowali mu pomóc pamiętam chrupot kości pamiętam jeszcze krew zmieszaną z błotem zupełnie jak po świniobiciu

nie pamiętam co robiło pogotowie nie pamiętam czy żył gdy go zabierali nie pamiętam już wiele więcej tylko to nieustające pytanie co by było gdybym przyszedł chwilę wcześniej tak jak miałem...

'Što ih više zanemarujete, to će bolje rasti', glasi ključno pravilo u uzgoju ovog nezahtjevnog bilja koje dolazi u raznim oblicima, bojama i veličinama     S obzirom na to da ključno pravilo u brizi o sukulentima glasi 'što ih više zanemarujete, to će bolje rasti', ne čudi da su jedan od najpopularnijih odabira u sadnji sobnog bilja. Riječ je o nazivu koji obuhvaća skupinu biljaka debelog sočnog lišća i stabljika u kojima se pohranjuje voda pa im je za uspješan rast potrebno tek povremeno zalijevanje, kao i obilje Sunčeve svjetlosti. Osim što se lako održavaju, sukulenti su estetski privlačni te unose opuštajući element prirode, stvarajući topao i ugodan ambijent u svakom domu. Ako ste u potrazi za sobnim biljem kojim ćete obogatiti svoj interijer, donosimo nekoliko vrsta nezahtjevnih sukulenata u kojima ćete uživati bez puno brige!

Božićni kaktus

Za razliku od drugih vrsta kaktusa (koji isto spadaju pod sukulente), ova sorta umjesto uobičajenih bodlji ima glađe rubove. Zahtijeva nešto više vode od standardnog kaktusa pa je preporuka zaliti ga čim se osuši gornji centimetar zemlje. Ako ga držite uz prozor, izloženog svjetlosti, nagradit će vas bogatim ružičastim cvjetovima!

Biljka novca

Drvo žada poznato je pod privlačnim nadimcima 'biljka nova' i 'drvo sreće', a obožavano je zato što ga je iznimno lako uzgojiti. Potječe s juga Afrike i ima sjajno debelo lišće s efektnim crvenim rubovima koji se pojavljuju kada je dovoljno izložen svjetlosti. S vremenom može narasti preko metra, no kada se uzgaja u tegli, uglavnom ostaje pri visini od 30 centimetara.     Zbog težine, preporuka je saditi ju u posude od terakote te pustiti da se potpuno osuši između dva zalijevanja.

Aloe vera

Aloe vera poznata je po svojem dugačkom i tankom vertikalnom lišću koje s vremenom toliko naraste u širinu da zauzme čitavu posudu. I dok je stoljećima poznata po svojim ljekovitim svojstvima, pripazite gdje ćete je postaviti jer njeno bodljikavo lišće prolazniku može nanijeti ogrebotine! Lako se uzgaja i rijetki su slučajevi u kojima u potpunosti uvene, a preferira obilje Sunčeve svjetlosti i malo vode. Ne izlažite je previše direktnoj svjetlosti kako ne bi dobila opekline i posmeđila.

Zebra Haworthia

Kao što joj ime nalaže, 'zebra kaktus' ima upečatljive bijele prugice koje će se savršeno uklopiti u svaki dom. Zbog svog egzotičnog izgleda sve je popularniji odabir u mnogim modernim interijerima, a sve što joj treba je nekoliko sati neizravnog svjetla, uz zalijevanje tek kad je zemlja potpuno suha.

Biljka panda

Izvorno s Madagaskara, biljka panda oduševljava gustim grmom debelog lišća koje može narasti preko pola metra, no računajte da će joj za toliki rast trebati nešto više vremena. Pružite joj dovoljno svjetlosti i ne pretjerujte sa zalijevanjem za dugogodišnje uživanje u ovoj prelijepoj biljci.

Biljka zmija

Biljka zmija klasik je sobnog bilja jer je na glasu kao - neuništiva! Može preživjeti nekoliko tjedana bez svjetlosti i vode bez ikakvih promjena u izgledu. Debelo vertikalno lišće može narasti do metra u visinu te svojim šarama nalik zmijskoj koži tvoriti upečatljiv dodatak interijeru. Najbolje uspijeva u umjereno osvijetljenom prostoru te joj je potrebno tek povremeno zalijevanje kada primijetite da je zemlja jako suha.

Slonova noga

Ovaj sukulent poznat je i pod nazivom konjski rep, a usprkos izgledu, nije riječ o palmi. Neka vas ne zavara njegov sporiji rast jer može narasti i do šest metara u visinu! Iako ne izgleda kao klasični sukulent, posjeduje korijen koji skuplja vodu, odakle i dolazi naziv slonova noga. Izvrsno uspijeva u sobnim uvjetima te zahtijeva vrlo rijetko zalijevanje.

Žednjak

Žednjak (sedum) je jedan od najšarenijih sukulenata i dolazi u raznim bojama te preko 400 sorti! Otporan je i neće mu smetati zanemarivanje, a uspijevat će jednako dobro u teglama na balkonu i terasi ili u vrtu.

Echeveria

'Mesnato' lišće nalik kaktusu, nizak rast i efektna kombinacija zelene i crvene boje učinili su ovaj sukulent jednim od najpopularnijih odabira. Dolazi u preko 150 sorta, a mnoge podsjeća na omiljenu čuvarkuću, no za razliku od nje, ne podnosi niske temperature. U tri mjeseca potrebno ga je zaliti samo jednom!
