Image of the Week 10-24-2026
Ghost Plant and Butterfly Bush
Per searches using Google lens, the top image "...is consistent with a Ghost Plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense) or its closely related hybrid cross, the Graptosedum 'Ghosty'." The bottom image is "a Buddleja davidii inflorescence, commonly known as a butterfly bush, orange eye, or summer lilac."
They were both shot at local Long Beach garden tour events this past spring with my Panasonic Lumix GX7 macro camera with a 3D lens, using frame sides for phantogram processing.
Midterms are getting closer, just a week and a half away. Based on a story this past week by Rchel Maddow, we have a lot to look forward to from the Trump administration, not right away, but AFTER the midterms, and as such after it's too late to affect votes on the midterms.
1) White House officials told the DOJ to delay action on making changes to abortion policies until AFTER THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
2) Trump announced he will not again attack Iran until AFTER THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
3) The US government will delay new rules denying access to cheaper prescription drugs from Canada until AFTER THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
4) The Pentagon will hold off on releasing their already completed report on the school bombing in Iran that killed over 150 civilians including 120 children until AFTER THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
5) Trump aides are getting ready to penalize defaulting student loan borrowers, hiring private debt collectors to go after them, not to be officially announced and implemented until AFTER THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
6) By design from Trump's "big beautiful bill" passed only by republicans, it's expected that around twenty million Americans will lose health insurance due to complex new requirements imposed on them. This will take effect in January, AFTER THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
It's not difficult to understand why Trump and his people are prefering to hold off on these wildly unpopular real world consequences until it's to late to effect voting by unaware citizens.
Wishing for better,
Barry Rothstein
