Scanner art by Craig Cramer, gardening & more
My monthly efforts with plants and a cheap scanner.
Yes. I know it’s March already. (Though you wouldn’t know it by looking outside.) I had these scans ready to go a couple days after bloom day, but never found time to get them online until now. Maybe a change in the weather will bring on some ephemerals for March bloom day. But I’m not holding my breath.
The cyclamen on the kitchen windowsill continues to pump out flowers, and is the only thing obviously interesting these days. So it is the subject of today’s scan exercise.

Reverse of the original. Amazing the difference.
Best wishes for the new year.
I was surprised to find a huge tuber buried in the pot of the florist’s cyclamen I bought last winter from Hortus Forum, our undergrad horticulture club at Cornell University. These plants — like forced bulbs — are usually considered disposable after they flower. But I’m glad I saved this one to give some angels to dance on the kitchen window sill.

Been too busy lately to do any scans. But I did grab some grass pix over the weekend and went through the usual manipulations with one that I usually do with scans.
