[razorsadness]

What he had written down, with the scratchy pen, were one or two ideas for Descartes and his metaphorical orrery: meaningless scraps. And this writing brought to life in him a kind of joy in greed. He would procure, he would soak in, he would comb his way through the Discourse on Method, and the Passions of the Soul: he would investigate Flemish stoves. His private self was now roused from its dormant state to furious activity. He felt the white hairs lift on his neck and his breath quickened. A bounded man, he had once written, may so project his surplusage of soul in search of body, so add self to self . . . so find, so fill full, so appropriate forms . . . In such a state a man can become pure curiosity, pure interest in whatever presented itself in the creation, lovely or freakish, pusillanimous, wise or vile. Those of his creatures he most loved or most approved moved with such delighted and indifferent interest through the world. There was the tragic Duchess, destroyed by the cold egotism of a Duke who could not bear her equable pleasure in everything, a sunset, a bough of cherries, a white mule, his favour at her breast. There was Karshish the Arab physician, the not-incurious in God's handiwork, who noticed lynx and blue-flowering borage and recorded the facts of the risen Lazarus. There was David, seeing the whole earth shine with significance after soothing the passionate self-doubt of Saul; there was Christopher Smart, whose mad work of genius, his Song to David, a baroque chapel in a dull house, had recorded the particularity of the world, the whale's bulk in the waste of brine, the feather tufts of Wild Virgin's Bower, the habits of the polyanthus. There was the risen Lazarus himself, who had briefly been in the presence of God and inhabited eternity, and to whose resuscitated life he had been able to give no other characteristics than these, the lively, indifferent interest in everything, a mule with gourds, a child's death, the flowers of the field, some trifling fact at which he will gaze "rapt with stupor at its very littleness."

—A.S. Byatt, from "Precipice-Encurled"

Polyanthus (Primula x polyantha)

Polyanthus are a type of primula (Primula x polyantha) which produces incredibly bright cheerful flowers from July through to October. Technically a perennial they are grown as annuals across Australia except in the colder regions. Either way with their crinkled leaves and bold flowers they are unbeatable at brightening up a lacklustre winter garden. Fertilising and Maintenance of Polyanthus Polyanthus need regular watering so don’t be stingy with the watering. They should also be fed with OCP eco-seaweed and OCP eco-aminogro every two weeks to grow strong plants and encourage continuous flowering. As with all annuals it is best to pinch out the first flowers of small seedlings to encourage stronger growth of the plant. Then it’s just a matter of regularly deadheading and pulling off any yellowing leaves to keep plants tidy and free from disease. Once the warmer weather hits polyanthus will die down. In cool regions they’ll reappear each year but for most of Australia it’s too hot for them to survive and they’ll die off completely. Polyanthus also don’t do self-seed so they’ll need to be resown or planted again the following year. Pest and Diseases of Polyanthus Polyanthus suffer from few pest and diseases as long as they have regular water and are kept fed with OCP eco-seaweed and OCP eco-aminogro. If anything is likely to occur it will be: Snails and slugs – these guys love polyanthus and you may find holes in the flowers and leaves. Use OCP eco-shield pellets to control these pests. Caterpillars – it’s the same with caterpillars as they love polyanthus too! Spray OCP eco-neem at the first sign of damage. Rotting – plants can develop rot when grown in incorrect conditions. Most likely it will be when the soil is too wet from poor drainage or if there isn’t good airflow around plants. Remove damaged flowers and foliage and try to improve the growing conditions. Fortnightly doses of OCP eco-seaweed and OCP eco-aminogro will help build up resilience to diseases while giving you lots of flowers. Powdery mildew - this common disease can be controlled with an organic fungicide but do spray quickly as the disease will spread.   HOW TO Polyanthus are usually purchased as seedlings or potted colour anytime from autumn through to winter. If you are a keen gardener you can sow seed but this is trickier because the seed is very small and germination can be a bit hit and miss. Polyanthus are happiest growing in conditions which get bright shade or gentle sunlight so they don’t heat up. They also like moist soil which is rich and fertile. Whilst they can tolerate less than ideal conditions if you really spoil them then you’ll get a better showing. So with all that in mind choose your spot in the garden and prepare the soil with lots of compost and an organic pelletised fertiliser. If planting into pots or containers, use a good quality premium potting mix. Settle plants in using OCP eco-seaweed and mulch to maintain moisture and help protect from soil splash.

It’s Friday, it’s Posting Day!

All things come to an end, and today it’s time to post the Epilogue to Mystic Dream.

Friday, 18 January 2019 10:00

Special Agent Eleanor Bishop sat at her desk in the Bullpen, her case report covering the past few days open on her workstation. Her eyes, however, skimmed the hardcopy file she’d found on her desk this morning. It purported to be a copy from Mr. Potter’s Office of Special Investigations.

Hedera Passiflora, 26 years old, Employed by ( redacted ) Research, Ltd, London, England, July 2011. Daughter of Pasqual and Polyanthus Passiflora (nee Parkinson), maternal aunt Pansy Parkinson, no other surviving maternal or paternal relatives. Maternal Grandfather Pendrake Parkinson arrested 28 May 2000, convicted of Conspiracy, Money Laundering, Accessory to Murder, sentenced to life in ( redacted ), deceased 4 May 2012. Arresting officers, K. Proudfoot, F. Savage (case officers), H. Potter, R. Weasley (support officers).

Short, tersely official, and matched what she remembered from the evening they confronted the suspect at the FDR. She wondered why the name of the research company got partially redacted, thinking the odd weapons the suspect used came from whatever research they did.

Thanks to everyone who’s been reading, and particularly to those who left Kudos and/or comments. Now on to the next projects!

"Etude, please, look at this," Liana says after entering their shop, holding a small pot in her hands. She holds it out to them with a smile, revealing a beautiful flower growing. "I found this during our travels. Do you know what kind it is?"

"Oh, what a lovely flower!" It seems healthy--Liana must have taken good care of it. A wonderfully bright yellow that reminds Etude almost of the sun. "This little one is a polyanthus primrose...! They don't need much attention so long as their environment is what they need, but would you still like me to teach you about them?"
