It may be because there are two types of flowers in the photo! The ones with lots of little “trumpets” appear to be lantana. The pink one could be a lot of things, it’s hard for me to tell without seeing the flower and plant more clearly. You can always post to the gardening community for help with plant IDs :)
This headline is bogus; the comparison to Brexit makes no sense here. Brexit was voted on in a democratic process (for better or worse), but all of these countries currently have junta governments that were not elected, and were suspended by ECOWAS because of it. Now they are unilaterally “choosing” to leave ECOWAS, but truthfully, ECOWAS considers them illegitimate and has considered military action (though done very little). It will be interesting to see if the threat of leaving finally prompts some collective action or not.
Haha, “Happy HONK” does mean something to some of us! Totally plausible that she’s already in a HONK band…
Ugh, yes. The joys of small businesses, alongside the rare spam call about “funding.” Thankfully these emails all go to my spam filter now! But it is super annoying.
Yup, that too! I can’t imagine being so online that a walk under the stars with your kid is somehow mind-altering. Pretty sad.
Truly ghoulish that this mother included a picture of her child at the end of this article. The child was explicitly described as not enjoying seeing their own pictures online, and wryly telling his mother that he “never signed a waiver for his likeness to be used for promotional purposes.” What a smart kid; what an awful parent.
Awesome!!
