The temperature is hot and steamy and it's just right for growing orchids. Several places offer potted orchids for between 3 and 7 dollars. The expensive ones are large plants with 3 main sections each with blooming flowers.
I can't stick around for the blog. I had to bribe the owner of the internet cafe to stay open past her closing time of 9 pm. I'll check back some other day to read what happened this week.
This photo shows the fruit of a marungay (Ilokano) plant; in English it is called moringa oleifera. The content of the pod is eaten -- it tastes like wood and for me its an acquired taste, one that I never developed. I first tried it in Hawaii. The Wikipedia states that this highly nutritious plant is used as a supplement for threatment of persons with HIV/AIDS.

The weather in Seattle today is overcast and shitty. The weather in Manila is pleasant and sunny.
