sorry for the down time
Lots of things have contributed to me not being able to post. From getting married to my honeymoon to starting a summer job (full-time) to my house not being occupyable and not having internet access at my current location. I write this message from my phone which isn't my first choiced for this kind of stuff but it will do for this. I will not be posting for awhile but as soon as I get online at my house I will. Bye

Splitting the Blog
Decided to separate my blog into sub-blogs depending on the subject and using this one as a central blog that links to them and reports on them and on any personal things that I want to publish. The first sub-blog is my anime/wallpaper stuff (you may have noticed) which can be found at http://vectoringanime.blogspot.com/.
I will eventually delete those posts from this blog. Hope you enjoy the design.

Mystery Pepper
A friend of my moms gave her a halfed soda bottle that contained some plants oregano brujo (aka cuban oregano), cafe de la india (aka orange jasmine) and one hitchhiking pepper.
When I saw the little plant I immediately assumed it was some kind of pepper since the foliage looked very similar to ones we had growing. The big question being what kind. I transplanted the seedling into a small plastic pot.
As you can see it grew quite contently in it's small home. I really didn't have any place to put it so there it stayed, as a sort of experiment. It started to produce some lovely blooms soon after.
My hopes were high for my little experiment. As the blooms came and went I stayed observant wishing to see the growth of fruit despite it's location.
That last picture showed promise, it looked as it that first bloom would give me a pepper and it looked as if it might be a bell pepper but it stunted and later fell off. All hope wasn't lost though I still had a few more blooms to observe.
Guess for this little plant second times the charm, now doesn't that look beautiful?
This guy is growing in a unique shape although I don't know if its the growing conditions or type of pepper.
As the days go by it continues its growth and the other two flowers bloom and later fade away with no further progress. Most likely due to its less than ideal home.
