Grilling on an overcast day, posting pics of yard flowers and such on the interwebs. Another day, another celebration of mundanity. Enjoy y'all :)

The Palm Tree Building of Łódź opened in 1956 and preserves trees that had previously grown in the private green houses of industrialists and Czarist officials. The glass building has repeatedly been expanded to accommodate growing trees, until nothing remains of the 1950s structure. But the tallest trees are still in their original places.

Our other clematis vine is doing well & blooming like crazy. Didn’t even notice the caterpillar till I was looking at the photos later. Everything in the #garden does great here until about June when the blast furnace heat arrives.

Looked up how tall Mullein usually grows, median answer is 6 ft, one site says up to 10 ft/ 3m.
My exuberant plant that's ~ 12ft/4m tall is looking down and laughing. Will save the seeds and share around. Heh, I love the idea of thinking of plants as Earth's middle finger to entropy that rules rest of the universe.
