Plant of the Day

Thursday 25 July 2019

This year the Catalpa trees have been covered in flowers and at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Wisley, UK, the specimen of Catalpa bignonioides (Indian bean tree, catawba) planted in the 1950s is now a magnificent tree, as the plant has aged the branches have lowered and some are now touching the ground. Nearby the golden foliage form, Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea' (golden Indian bean tree), was flowering and this cultivar is often ‘stooled’ (cut back in winter) to encourage more dramatic, larger foliage. The Catalpa × erubescens 'Purpurea' (purple hybrid catalpa, purple Indian bean tree) was producing new shoots with blackish-purple leaves that later turn dark green, the foliage contrasts with the flowers.

A striking container display with Carex oshimensis 'Everillo' (Japanese sedge) planted around an installation of Cornus (dogwood) stems. This clump-forming evergreen produces lime-green foliage that gradually deepens to golden-yellow as the season progresses. It can reach a height of 60cm tall, and in early summer has upright flower spikes.

What did they say?

Todd McFarlane basically said that comics aren't for women, with Gerry Conway making the additional point that it never will be because mediums don't evolve, apparently.

Mark Millar went ahead and said that a bad guy raping a character to establish their villainy isn't any different than simply killing someone to establish their villainy. Which he must certainly believe because son of a bitch was Wanted full of rape.
