I really do like the #plantcare articles in the #oldfarmersalmanac! I don't yet have a #persianshield, but this article makes me want one, 😉. #bottomwatering

Closeup of a leaf of the Persian shield plant. The body of the leaf is brilliant magenta with a metallic sheen. The veining is black with green highlights. The central vein runs vertically through the picture with subsidiary veins branching alternately to the sides in downward arcs. Between the veins the surface of the leaf is finely divided into cell-like structures which contain myriad tiny dark dimples.

A Chocolate Point Siamese Cat sits upright on a mossy covered outdoor aggregate patio. A hot pink plastic pot with a purple Persian Shield plant sits behind him. He’s in the middle of a gargantuan yawn with his tongue stuck out and his whiskers splayed in all directions. His expression is silly enough it could easily become a star meme… once I get my meme factory going (that’s right after I start my GIF-making business.)
Jamocha ruining his school photo...

a painting of a variety of leaves. The background is rainbow colored, splashes of reds, yellows, blues, pinks, and purples. Layered on top of the background are many different leaves. There is one large one in the middle, a green and pink catalpa, surrounded by smaller leaves, including the silverberry leaf, French pussy willow leaf, another catalpa leaf, rauli leaf, freckle face leaf, American hornbeam leaf, and Persian shield leaf. The leaves are mostly green, some in colored pencil, and others in watercolor.

A Chocolate Point Siamese Cat sits upright on a mossy covered outdoor aggregate patio. A hot pink plastic pot with a purple Persian Shield plant sits behind him. He stares into the camera with ice-blue (non-crossed) eyes. Annnddd… I just invented a new tongue twister! “A Hot Pink Plastic Pot with Purple Persian Shield Plants!”
A Chocolate Point Siamese Cat lies curled up on a white pillow on top of a leather chair. His eyes are closed and his mouth wide open in a yawn, exposing his long pink tongue and canine teeth. You know… typing Chocolate Point several times makes me regret that I’ve already finished my Valentine’s Day candy. Is it too late (after midnight) to get delivery from the store? (yes. yes it is.)
A lot of people don’t realize that a Siamese Cat’s fur will “toast” with time. There’s even a subreddit for that! ( r/ToastCats )
Here’s Jamocha at about 1-year old and about 2 ½-years old.
