Usually I don't have more than one or two actually written and set to post: I put the actual text in as the dates come around for each post. <br /><br />Which I guess means I'm okay to die whenever I want to, which is less reassuring than I intended when I started writing this comment. mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-65997509761338147652015-05-24T23:09:06.550-07:002015-05-24T23:09:06.550-07:00This is what creeps me out about scheduling future...This is what creeps me out about scheduling future posts: A friend's husband unfortunately died suddenly, and his Facebook page keeps automatically posting some "photo of the day" app thing that he had set up before he died.

When I get back from the orchid show, I sort through all the photos quickly and then schedule the orchid posts for the entire following year. <br /><br />Partly this is to avoid posting similar orchids right after one another (the last one was a light yellow and pink <i>Paphiopedilum</i>; this one's a dark purple <i>Phalaenopsis</i>; the next one will be an orange mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-35737687643256100512015-05-24T15:14:31.623-07:002015-05-24T15:14:31.623-07:00There's an even darker Phal coming up in *Febr...There's an even darker Phal coming up in *February*???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-9008622781678965152015-05-24T07:41:44.501-07:002015-05-24T07:41:44.501-07:00I agree that Ficus lyrata seems to be one of the m...I agree that Ficus lyrata seems to be one of the most fashionable houseplants right now. <br /><br />I think the main reason I ended up deciding to buy both a Pachira and a Ficus lyrata is simply because I kept seeing so many posts about them on one of the houseplant online forums I read. I also may have been influenced by some nice photos of F. lyrata in an interior design webpage.

White plants show up best against a darker background and the set decorator doesn't have to worry about the color clashing with anything else on the set. <br /><br />And you're probably seeing the same artificial plant over and over since items from one set get used on another.
