Lovely, beautiful flowers at the Cape Clivia Club show over this weekend. Made some new plant friends, met some other clivia breeders and just appreciated having to see the community's interest in learning how to grow clivias from seed and support our club.
A view of the show flowers.

My latest clivia interspecs I added to my collection.

MAGAs on Truth Social really do pretty much hate everyone.

Vivian Wilson on Being Elon Musk’s Estranged Daughter, Going Viral, and Protecting Trans Youth Elon Musk’s estranged daughter is coming into her own.

we’re so grateful for the strong reaction people are having to Vivian Wilson’s convo w Ella Yurman ❤️‍🔥 @teenvogue.com

it feels worth noting that Elon Musk spent a chunk of the day of his daughter’s first cover story tweeting anti-trans propaganda mixed with anti-journalist memes

❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is the 60th day since the first day Trump could have ended the Russian war in Ukraine "in one day."

JD Vance’s Munich speech laid bare the collapse of the transatlantic alliance The US vice-president was hypocritical and insensitive, but bracingly clear in his resetting of relationships

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

Giving infectious disease research a break, as promised by the MAHA agenda.

Let's break down what exactly this Executive Order is *really* saying.

Fortunately, I speak fluent anti-vax grifterese & can translate.

Prediction: Gulf of America is going to be the Freedom Fries of the 2020s.

Plastic straws! What next?

Absolutely. I meant to say Elon and Trump. LOL, but won't be surprised if Elon is starting to talk to himself and Trump is mostly watching TV, sleeping, commenting on social media and occasionally appearing in front of cams making it look like he doesn't need sleep at his age.

But of course Elon and Musk made farm murders happening due to high crime rate and concern from some about a NIL compensation bit that was added in expropriation act sound like white genocide is happening.
No, no it's not. We are living VERY well compared to other races.

A Word About the Ongoing Worries About the Expropriation Act in South Africa We shouldn't be worried about it, but stay vigilant.

And just in case someone reads this not knowing it yet:
There is no land grab in South Africa.
Read this as good explainer. wandilesihlobo.com/2025/01/28/a...

It's moving so fast, they are not keeping track of what was said. The idea obviously is to flood us with chaos while changing as many things possible unconstitutionally.
Day 1 Trump asked Elon to defund the refugee program, the very program he promised to Afrikaans people looking for asylum in USA.

One of Trump’s Scariest Attacks on Health Could Do Unimaginable Damage. I Know—I’ve Seen It. I’ve seen firsthand what can happen without access to antiretroviral drugs.

Kennedy also argues that black people have better immune systems and therefore should receive fewer antigens from the vaccine schedule.

This is absolute nonsense and would place black people at even higher disproportionate risk from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Kennedy claims he apologizes when he is wrong. I suggest people look to the email exchanges with his niece, a doctor who was actively treating COVID-19 patients in the hospital during the emergency phase of the pandemic, for evidence of that. Kennedy will never admit that he is wrong...

Kennedy will not commit to enforcing the drug price negotiation provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act which is already law but says he will enforce Trump's will to negotiate drug prices.

Kennedy again misrepresents the safety monitoring systems for vaccines in the US saying it is only VAERS and V-SAFE. beyond these, there is the VSD, CISA, and a number of FDA pharmacovigilance systems e.g. FDA BEST used for this purpose.
