my suit is black, my suit is fresh

this show is not perfect but it is also A DELIGHT. i went into it not really knowing much about the plot and i wasn't expecting Boss to be playing such a comedic character but he's chomping every single piece of scenery and crushing every scene he's in.

yeah no i can't turn it off.

less than one minute into finally starting Life In Smokey Blue and here we go!

while not a flower, this is florist related! it still counts!

what we have here is the pittosporum tobira, often called just pittosporum, or pitt for short. apparently also it's called Japanese cheesewood?? that's new to me. you learn something new every day etc etc

in the floral industry, we use pitt in either the lovely dark green you see here or a kind called variegated that is a lighter green with an almost cream coloured edge to the leaves-

(picture from trees.com)

it's great for using in vased arrangements, the leaves are excellent for making wrist corsages, it's long lasting and versatile, AND the branches have a really lovely cucumber-y smell.

which i guess is lovely if you think cucumber smells nice anyway. like you know when cucumber candles got really popular for a minute? they smell like that.

i think it's delightful.

anyway it grows all over the world, it's a great plant and great for flower stuff, and my brain was like "'"HEY! HEY YOU HAVEN'T MADE A FLORAL POST IN A WHILE AND HERE'S THIS INSTANTLY!!! YEAH DO IT!!" so uh... yeah here we are.

cheers!

ahhhhhhh look i'm actually doing a tag game post!

thanks to @nonglukest for never giving up on the fact that i might do a tag game 😘 i survived mother's day at the flower shop so here's a tag game in celebration!

rules: just list five songs you listen to

this is one i can handle

recent ear worms:

my new favourite Monsta X song. i am obsessed, i fear

this song has set the tone for the past couple months of driving to and from work and to and from Chicago and just everywhere for me, it even spawned its own playlist based on the vibes

another recent obsession, this song is rudely catchy, i don't even know if i'd consciously listened to NMIXX before this but this song has been on repeat

justice for my baby Seunghan, this song is so good, i'm glad that SM isn't squandering his talent even if they're not promoting him as much as they could be

i really wasn't sure what to expect with this comeback but this song is so dang good
