To the smokehouse!!

Update on my gardening plan. As you know, I’m trying to grow some Diphylleia Grayi plants, also known colloquially as “skeleton flowers.” These are the plants that have white blooming petals, and the white petals are so delicate that if they’re touched with rainwater, the petals will turn clear.
