Odd One Out

Been meaning to post about this for a couple days. While out walking spotted along with all the other landscaping are many daisies (Euryops pectinatus most likely). A search online produced only yellow varieties. So that is one reason to be surprised. Second would be this one plant.

These yellow flowered bushes are seen all over Southern California and tend to blend into the background because they are so common. Never seeing one quite like this photos had to be taken.

Euryops pectinatus

Here is a common Euryops. Bright yellow daisy flowers on a dark green shrub.

Walking through Lake Forest you see many of these shrubs. These are on the slopes along El Toro and Park.

This is the one that was a surprise.
Bright pink flowers in among the yellow. 

Perhaps a separate variety? Has this always been here? No -this is the same route taken for the last year and no pink flowers were ever noticed.

Upon further investigation it was determined this is one part of a plant. 

The yellow flowers on the left and the pink flowers on the right are all growing from the same bush? 

The stem on te left goes to the yellow flowers and the one on the right is to the pink.

What causes/caused this? Soil minerals? Water? Light? The cold?

Next step is to take picture to nursery and ask. Will report back.









Turns out

الإسلام الراديكالي يمكن تقبيل مؤخرتي الحادي

Religion IS Poisonous

Based on fairy tales.

A hammer of the gods. An elephant god. A snake god. An evil spirit. A good spirit. An all seeing all knowing...as in the religion in which I was raised.

No one has ever been able to explain to me why an all knowing, creator of all, created the angels, including Lucifer but didn't foresee the downfall etc etc......then have to be born as your own son and etc etc.......makes ZERO sense.

Religion is dangerous. The way to rid the world of this dangerous substance is NOT through violence and hatred. It is through knowledge, understanding, learning and teaching. Critical thinking. No superstition. No knock on wood, rabbits foots, four leaf clovers, lucky penny...magical water...magic beads...special incantations...there is ZERO proof that any of these work. ZERO. Now with that said there are theists and deists that will ask an anti-theist or an atheist to show PROOF that there is NO god...well it is on the believer to show proof.

Does this mean atheists know...absolutely not. But atheists will never make that leap p the face of faith mountain and come to an immediate conclusion. Proof is needed. Questioning is necessary and then questioning again.

So, we need to work to rid the world of this poison before there is no world for us.
