What kind of plants do you expect to produce nice flowers . . . well, flowers. Many other plants that aren’t known for flowers produce nice ones too though.

Several weeks ago, I found some rotting, sprouted potatoes under the sink. Instead of disposing of them and plugging up the landfill, I planted them. They grew into plants and now they have flowered.

I like the white and yellow potato flowers that open and close with the coming of the sun.

Another benefit is that they are sequestering carbon, by absorbing carbon dioxide and keeping the carbon in organic compounds in their plant flesh. So, there is more than one benefit.

Remember when I went to the art gallery in the attic? Well they are having a music festival, likely not in the attic.The name of the festival is Carl!! You are supposed to make the air punctuation with your fingers when you say it, as shown on the button.

Here is some more information. If you want even more information go to their website.
