Daily Postcard: Sunrise Silhouettes Blooming Century Plant
Daily Postcard: The sunrise Friday silhouettes a Century Plant blooming at a residence in White Rock. The common name ‘century plant’ stems from its monocarpic nature of flowering only once at the end of its long life. After flowering, the plant dies but produces adventitious shoots from the base, allowing its growth to continue. Although it is called the century plant, it typically lives only 10 to 30 years. It spreads 6-10 feet, with gray-green leaves 3-5 feet in length, each with a prickly margin and a heavy spike at the tip that can pierce deeply. At the end of its life, the plant produces a tall, Read More

Los Alamos Daily Post
caclark@ladailypost.com
Attending the opera for the first time last year was a remarkable experience. It became eminently clear why The Santa Fe Opera is called “The Best Opera Festival In The World” … and why I am now hooked.

After that, her friend’s mom, who was a piano teacher, began taking her and a group of kids to Family Night at the Opera.
In learning that I had not had that experience, Read More
