The camera does lie.

Stuck @ home again. Shot a few odzn-sodz.

I have a plant of the ''Ponytail palm'' type.
''Pony tail palms are not really palms but are members of the Lilaceae family. It is a native of the desert in Mexico.
Desert plants make great houseplants if you can give them enough light. Your home is usually drier than the desert.''

I rescued it, for about £3.75 if memory serves, some years ago and it has never grown so tall that its leaves don't hang up to 16'' below the soil level in the pot.

That was Emergency-Blip 1, E-Blip 2 was this.
It's, actually, one of the nicest pears I've ever tasted. Due to a certain shortage of dental equipment added to a sweet tooth, I find an apple a bit of a fight, if I 1/4 them ... no trouble unless they're tart enough to curl the few teeth I have left, SO I tend to have a pear when Herself has an apple.
What struck me was the discrepancy twixt what my eye told me and what the camera told the computer, in fact it looks more like an Egremont Russet than the ''Dazzling Gold'' it purports to be, but no amount of jiggery, or even pokery, can render on the screen exactly what I see, but on re-view I'd say this is pretty close, maybe lacking a touch of green.
