First bloom from Lehua breeding. I suspect it'll have better color when it's not so damned hot!

I need to have my water tested see whats in it for my own good but curious as to what minerals its adding to my plant life.
it leaves a dry oily film on everything. like its full of phosphates. eutrophication of the water supply from the source.

Oh, hell no! It's a lot cleaner than it used to be, though. At one time if you fell in they took you to the hospital for a round of tetanus and other shots. The Clean Water Act of 1982 changed that to a large extent. There are still warning signs calling for the consumption of fish taken to a minimum. A majority of my work is done on the channel. |
