Lockdown: The Positive Thread

Nah not Geraniums.
The sprouts on those are like little weeds.


Those things came from golfball sized bulbs

Just googled... not those


Close though.
The things I've got here, the leaves are... ahem... long and narrow, but also thick and furry

Sound a bit like Triffids

FOUND OUT WHAT THEY ARE!


Forget-Me-Nots


Pic off the web:





They should be renames "Find-Them-Nots"

Gonna be really ironic when you have to Google the name again next year.

You know what's weirder...


Forget-Me-Nots are usually blue. These are pink.

Forget-Me-Nots hate direct sunlight. These are growing in a south-facing suntrap.

Forget-Me-Nots prefer being near water. These are growing in a south-facing suntrap, that has no water nearby.


Nature = Weird.

Understand this last part, and you'll get them all.

Dodgy pic, but my neighbour has put their Christmas lights up!

The question is... are they early or late?

And are these "Lockdown Lights?"
(Are they rainbow colors? As the rainbow has now been adopted as a symbol of anti-virus / pro-isolation solidarity.)

Nah just the regular blue and red twinkly lights

I kept asking myself, "how do you see a dog?"


Then I read the post slower.
=*(


lol

He should have put them up in shapes of eggs, bunnies, and chicks. Then he could have called them "Easter lights".

OPEN FLOOR.

I didn't know that, but I guess that's why we've been seeing some rainbows on doors and windows around here.

To be brutally honest with the quality of that photo we'd never know even if he had made the most fantastic Easter tableaux ever seen out of them. I actually thought it was a rejected still from Close Encounters at first

My mystery blubs have grown more and now have green stuff bits.






And just to the right of the blubs, is more green stuff growing.

The, erm... things... what they called?
They've grown more, and now have blue ones on them as well

Positive thing about the lock down: Custom Lists are (hopefully) finally happening! Scaffolding's coming along. Slightly trickier than expected in some places but nothing too bad yet, and might be ready for some very early testing soon.

The colour denotes 'gender' - the pinkish ones are female, the blue ones male.

Yeah, you're right, I just made that up.
