Italian artist Paola de Manincor created some lovely murals in Melbourne, before she died in 2011. This is on a garden wall in a Brunswick church. Vandals have defaced it in the most shameless and mindless way.

Such a great pity to see how our values as a society are changing and to see that the attitude of: "If I can't create it, watch me destroy it" is becoming not only commonplace, but grotesquely acceptable. You can see the photos of the original mural I took in 2014 here.

KALANCHOE

Kalanchoe uniflora is a very versatile, easy to care for succulent with small oval-shaped, flat green leaves on burgundy stems that burst out with vivid red, bell shaped flowers in spring. It's a gorgeous trailing plant perfect for hanging baskets, grown in rockeries or hot spots in your garden.

Kalanchoe, is a genus of about 125 species of tropical, succulent plants in the stonecrop family Crassulaceae, mainly native to Madagascar and tropical Africa. A Kalanchoe species was one of the first plants to be sent into space, sent on a resupply to the Soviet Salyut 1 space station in 1979.[4] The majority of kalanchoes require around 6–8 hours of sunlight a day; a few cannot tolerate this, and survive with bright, indirect sunlight to bright shade.

Right now, south of the equator, amateur astronomers are watching a comet that's just emerged from behind the sun. Soon, it will be the turn of observers in the Northern Hemisphere, but will Comet A3 — also known as C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) — really become one of the brightest comets visible in the Northern Hemisphere in the last 100 years, as claimed by Star Walk? Or even potentially visible in daylight during October, as Sky & Telescope suggests?
