Lets be nice and trivial

oakfarmI needed a postcard to send to my nephew for his second birthday. What I had home was this two cards. I’m quite sure I brought whose cards in Carl Linnaeus garden in Uppsala, the summer of 2013. I found the cards so amazing I laid them on my floor, took a photo that I share here.
No the cards don’t look like a typical toddler birthday card, thinking about it I could have gone to the store, but I didn’t. I sended the red water lily card instead. Actually I wanted to send the pineapple card. However I made a mistake when writing on that one. I was happy I had found my calligraphy pen and could try to write a half pretty looking greeting. Then I misspelled a word. Btw on the pineapple card you may see the word “ananas” written. That’s a story I found amazing and want to share. You know that in many languages pineapple is named something like “ananas” and that’s the reason latin for strawberry is Fragaria × ananassa. Strawberries were so amazing they had to name it after the amazing, tropical fruit that I assume very few people in Europe had tried back then.
Edit: when writing about plants I can also share a photo of one of my chilis (cloose to 18 mouth old). The type is named Trinidad purple coffee.
I have another plant of the same chili outside. Outdoors I have tomato, parsley, oregano and chili. For some reason snails eat on the chili, but seem to leave the other plants in peace. Perhaps chili leaf are more nutritious, at least for snails.
