Plants have such amazing natural structural engineering, don't they! My DH is a mechanical engineer, and he was fascinated with a squash leaf I cut and showed him under the magnifying glass. Same basic principle, but they are hollow up the middle. They sure do pump the water up those channels, too!

My plumeria has been blooming non-stop since April, I am so thrilled. It has been terribly abused and neglected, fell over on its face while I was on vacation in May, and got all bent out of shape. But I finally planted it in the ground a month or so ago, and here it is putting out more new flowers! Now, anybody got a remedy for this rusty fungus on the leaves? Baking soda spray slows it down a bit, but . . . hm, maybe the Neem oil?
