Plant contact details: Readers, feel free to contact me at lambert [UNDERSCORE] Strether [DOT] corrente [AT] yahoo [DOT] com, to (a) figure out how to send me a check if you don’t like PayPal and (b) figure out how to send pictures of plants. Vegetables are good! Fungi, algae, and corals are considered venerable plants! If you want your handle to appear as a credit, please put it at the beginning of your mail in brackets: (for that). If not, I will hide them by using your initials. Check out the previous Water Cooler (with a plant) here. From EM:
EM writes: “This year’s late spring rains came just in time for our Monarda (Bee Balm), which has reached about 5 feet tall. Hummingbirds love this. If you approach the lower right corner of the Monarda stand one can see the milkweed, planted last year, peeking out next to the coreopsis. Also, it’s our first year to grow sunflowers. Sadly, each year it seems that the number of bees is decreasing but we are trying our best to support them. For reference, standing at just 5′-3 is Mrs. “NYT_Memes”. Late June and early July were hectic in Beaverton as we waited for the A/C man to come to our rescue. I don’t know if you prefer not to have people in plant photos. I can take it again if you like as I can see that I have cut off the top of the sunflower, and the red gladiolus is in the shade.”
Students: Water Cooler is an independent business not is put together by NC’s annual fundraiser. What is important here is Lambert’s, and it does not express the local ideas of Naked Capitalism. If you see a link you particularly like, or something you can’t see anywhere else, please don’t hesitate to express your appreciation in a tangible way. Remember, a tip is a tip! A generally positive response both makes me feel good and lets me know I’m on the right track with coverage. If I don’t receive donations for three or four days I get worried. Obviously, ongoing donations help me with expenses, and I contribute to that trick when I set fundraising goals:
Here is the screen that will appear, which I have helpfully explained:
