Get a FIRST life before you attempt a SECOND.

On this day last year, The Red Tree was released. And here I am, a year later, with no Next New Novel finished. Indeed, it's only barely begun. Of course, I know I have perfectly valid reasons for this. But the little voice in my head, the one that keeps me awake nights, keeps telling me I'm a bum, and there's no excuse, and anyone can write a book

The flower on the sixth picture is beautiful. What is it?

No idea. Spooky says she'll ask her mom.

Thank you.

That looks like a Dianthus, also know as Pinks. The depicted bloom displays wild colors; mine are plain old magenta. I think they are related to carnations; they offer the same scent.

Just looked up Dianthus on Wikipedia. There are a bewildering number of species, with a bewildering array of blossoms. But yeah, photo six looks a lot like Dianthus plumarius, or "pinks." Hmmm.

The groundhog living in my little city garden loves the buds so I haven't seen the actual flower since June.

Your photo makes the bloom look like an exotic moth.

"Your photo makes the bloom look like an exotic moth."

That's exactly what i thought. It also looks like one particular orchid (don't remember the name now, but it's orange and yellow).
