Hellooo!

Posted on April 26, 2025 by kimerer_brian
DG: Hello. Where have you been? You haven't posted anything for a couple of weeks again.

I have been busy with other stuff.

DG: Other stuff? Like, what other stuff?

Stuff like tax forms lost in the mail…. and the clothes drier up in smoke… and moving the snowblower into the garage and the grill out…. you know… other stuff.

DG: Well maybe I will just write this blog myself.

Don’t be silly. Cartoons can’t draw themselves.

DG: What?

You Want Red? Here’s Red

Posted on April 12, 2025 by kimerer_brian

Our last SPOTH had tiger stripes with a hint of red. Well, here is one that is Red with a hint of tiger stripes…. or maybe leopard spots….. or maybe just splotches.

Red, pink and white plant.

The plant is a Billbergia ‘Teng Ee’…. don’t know what ‘Teng Ee’ means.

DG’s SPOTH

Posted on April 4, 2025 by kimerer_brian

We have been going through quite a few SPOTHs lately. I thought I would ask how DG’s SPOTH is doing.

Hey, DG, how’s that spider plant doing?

DG whispering "died"

What’s that again? I couldn’t hear you.

DG: It died.

Speak up. I still couldn’t hear what you said.

DG loudly: It Died!

Oh? So soon? Bummer! Sorry about that.

DG. HA. Didn't die. April fools.

Uh. You do realize, don’t you, that it is now April 4th? April Fools Day was days ago.

DG: Wha?

That gag only works on April first. Try to keep up.

Sigh.

Billbergia Hybrid

Since we are getting into the taller plants, here is one that is not only taller, but it has a hint of red in it as well as a hint of tiger stripes.

Tall, red-ish plant.

That is a Billbergia Hybrid.

An Even Taller Tiger

Posted on March 23, 2025 by kimerer_brian

Here’s an even taller tiger striped SPOTH.

Tall tiger striped plant.

It’s an Aechmea ‘Chantinii DeLeon’ Black bromeliad. I bet you can’t say that three times fast without spitting up.

I don’t see anything about tigers or zebras in its name, though.

DG smirking: Two can play that game. Here's my SPOTH
Spider plant in a vase.

Dude. That’s just a spider plant. There’s nothing strange about a spider plant. Everybody has one.

DG: The fact that it's still alive with me taking care of it is strange.

OK. You got me on a technicality.

Neoregelia Little Tiger Yellow

Posted on March 20, 2025 by kimerer_brian

I found a SPOTH that looks a lot like the previous one, but it’s a bit taller.

This is a Neoregelia Little Tiger Yellow. Where I saw a zebra, somebody else saw a tiger.

I wonder what the big tiger looks like.

SPOTH Again Again

Posted on March 15, 2025 by kimerer_brian

I found a SPOTH that looks a lot like the previous one, but it’s a different color.

Neoregelia Dragon

That is a Neoregelia ‘Dragon’.

DG: What's with all the plants? What am I? Chopped liver?

Oh, so you want in on the action?

DG with leaves growing out of his head. Not funny.

SPOTH Again

Posted on March 9, 2025 by kimerer_brian

It is time for another SPOTH. This one is Cryptanthus ‘Absolute Zero’, also known as an Earth Star.

Cryptanthus 'Absolute Zero'

Nice looking plant. Reminds me of a zebra.

SPOTH

Posted on March 2, 2025 by kimerer_brian

DG has become disruptive again, so I thought I would post a SPOTH*. This one is a Sincoraea ophiuroides.

Plant with long tendrils.

Here is a closer look at the middle part.

Red and white flower.

I wonder if those tendrils can grab children or small pets.

*Strange Plant Of The Hour

Try Another AI

Posted on February 13, 2025 by kimerer_brian

I was not pleased with the results of my previous interaction with the AI, so I decided to try a different one to see if I can do better.

ChatDG how can I help you. Draw DG with a snow shovel.
DG holding a snow shovel and smiling.
ChatDG: DG is perfect. Something is fishy. Who is this?
Is that DG? What are you doing in my robot? Get out. DG: Spoil Sport.
