atl bot gdn's annual "orchid daze" opened yesterday --- they always feel like they need to have a "theme," and this year they jumped the shark with "orchid daze: surreal beauty," purported to include "surprising juxtapositions of fanciful flowers and playful objects inspired by surrealist imagination." --- a tree of women's high heels with orchids in them? upside down buckets of orchids --- it did not work --- and orchids don't need much help to display well

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
