Plant of the Day

Friday 4 December 2015

The distant solid form of Xanthocyparis nootkatensis (Nootka cypress, Alaska cedar, yellow cedar) becomes a mass of wavy foliage as you move closer, with a circular orange, springy carpet of fallen leaves. This large evergreen conifer has branched sprays of small scale-like leaves and small spherical cones that mature over two years. It grows well in moist but well-drained soil. A tree that makes an excellent specimen plant but needs room to perform.

if you could own any mythological creature as a pet, which would you choose? or top three. :)

Hooooooly crap, I didn't think I was going to have to think about this! I had no idea that this was an achievable goal whatsoever (I only put it in there originally to have something more than $25/mo since it looked like I was going to get that??) I just checked the Patreon site and we've met the third tier reward. So I guess I have to make a decision quickly.

Donors, PLEASE please please please go to the Patreon site and comment on the "Activity" post that is about the third reward tier. Since I promised to remove ads if this reward level was reached, I really don't feel comfortable providing something else unless the donors say it's okay. Please recommend what else you'd like--more sketches, more Livestreams...? Mini-prints? Large... prints? If donating to remove ads was important to you guys and a reason you donated, please tell me that and I swear they'll be gone! (Or restricted to m/m only or whatever it is you want.) Sorry about the confusion and thank you again so much!
