Sorry for the long silence. Winter has set in, both in Brooklyn and Berlin, and we have yet to brave the snow and sleet to document our green neighbors in their cold weather guises. But today, thanks to some outside help, we are able to post some weather-proof plants.
We are lucky to have gained a second pair of eyes in London, though only for a short time. Guy sent us the following note and pictures from his fall stay in London, which will end this week.
A few weeks ago I spotted many red flowers walking on the streets of London.
Some of them even used to take the tube everyday to work and didn’t forget the Guinness pint in the afternoon.
Unfortunately I was too embarrassed to ask if I can take a photo of them and after a few days they all disappeared. I felt quite bad, because I really wanted to share this weird phenomenon with you dear researcher. I felt so bad, that I even considered crying.
But a week ago I found them again. Though not really lively and sportive as their brothers and sisters a few weeks earlier, but still red – so no real reason to start weeping.
Thank you, Guy, for reporting on these all-weather plants!
