In a society so fixated on appearance and a tendency to hide imperfections, it’s a common paradox that most people are willing to bare all on the beach. In his recent series Comfort Zone, photographer Tadao Cern explores this contradictory behavior as he captures candid, unsuspecting sunbathers, partially exposed, as they lie asleep on the beach.
This subtropical shrub has abundant bright yellow flowers in late fall. It is evergreen in zone 10 and stem hardy in zone 9. The seeds are said to be poisonous but not deadly. In zone 8 it may freeze back but after cold kills the tops it can be cut back and mounded with coarse sand and mulched with pine straw. As weather warms, remove this covering to allow new shoots to emerge. Given rich soil and ample water, these plants will thrive during hot summers and bloom around Thanksgiving time. Riffle, in The Tropical Look says this plant is widespread in the American tropics but the exact native range is uncertain.

REMINDER: Please remember that seeds are living, perishable products. When germinating seeds, it's crucial to carefully FOLLOW the provided INSTRUCTIONS, as each variety has specific growing guidelines. Using alternative methods that may lead to failure is discouraged, and we cannot be held responsible for such outcomes. Additionally, it's important to understand that we are not responsible for how the buyer cares for the plant, as we have no control over its environment or care. We recommend conducting any necessary research before making a purchase. It's NORMAL for seeds NOT to GERMINATE SIMULTANEOUSLY, and the process may take days, weeks, or even months, as this variation is part of nature. ATTENTION: Our shop offers a variety of hybrid plants and flower seeds. While some hybrids occur naturally in the wild, our nurseries typically create them through manual pollination. 1. These hybrid seeds and plants tend to have shorter lifespans due to their delicate nature. 2. It's essential to be aware that there is a slight possibility that hybrid plants or flowers may be sterile. Even if they produce seeds, those seeds may not yield the same plant the following year. This is because the seeds contain a mix of less predictable characteristics from the grandparent plant, rather than resembling the parent plant. Although we make every effort to test the seeds, nature sometimes follows its own course. These genetically engineered specimens are well worth the occasional uncertainty, given the potential for perfection. NOTE: As mentioned on our Etsy account, we collaborate closely with two family nurseries for our production. Please be reminded that if you purchase more than 1 seed, it's possible not to receive them on the same day, as we may ship them through our two family nurseries. However, we assure you that you will receive all the seeds you purchase. Happy shopping! :) IMPORTANT NOTE: The images provided are for reference purposes only, depicting the plant you can expect from the seeds you purchase. Please note that we exclusively sell seeds.

"A school needs to be a place for all children, not based on the idea that they are all the same, but that they are all different." -Loris Malaguzzi (founder of the first Reggio Emilia School) Reflective light has been the subject of discovery and object of fascination for the children for quite sometime. A few days ago we decided to experiment and play with sand on top of the light table. The children begun to explore the sand, perhaps attracted by the light that shined through the plexi glass… The explorations involved their entire body moving it up and down from left to right in rhythm with the sands movement. They used their palms, finger tips, elbows and different objects to move it around. The light created some dark and light shadows that altered the appearance of the sand. I had prepared baskets with glass prisms, agate slices and natural shells to be used with the sand if the children chose too. The first child used the natural seashells and discovered that when rolled on top of the sand it left beautiful soft stripes of light. His attention is fully captured; he notices the stripes of light peaking through the sand and yells out, “GUYS come here! Have you ever seen a beautiful design like this before?” The emotional reaction to the discovery of the “stripe lights” spreads across the room. Everyone loved his amazing discovery and asked him for a live demonstration. He gladly gave one with a big proud smile on his face while his admirers looked and learned. Let us not forget that children are clever and capable. Yesterday, I was reminded that I should change the color of sand in order to make it more fun. “You never know Ms. Maria; it might make the light shine more,we should experiment. Let’s use purple today and maybe green tomorrow.” It is probably one of the most powerful memories that the children and I will forever treasure. Why not simply, let go of a set curriculum and things that make us comfortable, it diminishes the excitement and wonder from each child. They have to make those discoveries in order for learning to take place. LEARNING SHOULD BE FUN!!! :)
This homemade kinetic sand recipe is one of the easiest play recipes we have made at home and the kids played with it for hours afterward...
Here is another pre-handwriting activity for your kiddo: Sandbox Writing. I've seen this same idea (sandbox and cards) for alphabet writing, but I wanted something for Simon to help him practice basic handwriting strokes and shapes. I created a set of 28 cards for him to use with the sandbox. You can snag your own …
