Your comment is just the incentive I needed to go ahead and buy it. Thanks! Thank you, Win.

Your website provides both the pictures and the further story of the (sometimes frustrated) weevils. Magnificent job!

I'm now just tracking the plant at certain times each day, but I think before the blooming is over, I'll find another day to just sit with it. It was a little like watching a tide-pool. If you sit there long enough, watching, you pretty soon see the world as from the eyes of one of its residents. Mary Hi Michael,

This was amazing and quite fascinating. In the past I have passed by the sandpaper plant in various stages of what you described and photographed in the blog entry. Who would have known the fast life it leads! Thank you for your patience in documenting this and sharing it. Dios Mio! This was amazing and quite fascinating.
