Her monster turtle jaw in May has become the new set of large outer leaves with several new jaws forming while her meristem is definitely doing odd things. She'll most likely develop into a LovelyClump eventually but right now, mid transition, she's just a complete little monster.

I, too, have restarted Smallville since its addition to Netflix and I am in tears

I watched Smallville when it came out but have never made it to the last seasons. I'm on season 2 now which I did watch when it came out.

One of the things I loved about this show as a hardcore Superman fan my whole life (the original movies, the cartoon series, The Adventures of Loise and Clark) seeing Annette O'toole as Martha Kent, seeing Lionel who plays Lex in AOLC, and remembering when the first episode wih Christopher Reeve came out, I just loved this show.

Now, 20 years later, I'm no longer in high school, a lot of life has happened since then, I'm a parent and an active participant in the extremely confusing and painful times we live in.

This show had so much more depth than I could understand in high school. Sure, the CG and explosions are hilarious, the sometimes simple scripts are endearing, but the heart is very true.

For example the red rock episode. Who doesn't love to see Superman take a walk on the wild side? But I suddenly found myself feeling so incredibly sorry for Clark. Seeing him acting so against his instincts and inner truths, man, that moved something inside me.

Just finished the first Dr. Swann episode. As a kid it was "that's so cool! They got the old Superman in the new Superman!" But now as an adult? With a few years under my belt - seeing Christopher Reeve who is the undisputed Superman (Dean Kane will always be my 2nd and Tom Welling is right up there with him) - a man who was cut short during an incredible career in a tragic accident - to suddenly agree to be a guest star on a show about the young version of the very character he portrayed and inspired millions of us was just awe inspiring.

Not everyone gets to close circles like that. Not every person can look at where they are and then go look at a "younger version of them" in the face. Aside from the great honor it must have been to be in the show, I wouldn't be surprised if it plucked a few of his heart strings as well and of those on the show.

And the background music? The original Superman theme? That's what pushed me over the edge. Cue the waterworks.

I know this is long and I know it's out of nowhere but I figured if there was a place to share this, it might be here among other fans.

I'm just loving watching this show again, and it's brought new perspectives to my life.

Thank you for reading - Superman Forver 🦸‍♂️ ❤️

Begonia Rex Red Kiss tips and advice 🙏

Just got this stunning beauty.

She's going to be kept indoors and I'll have to move her around a bit until I find the best sun spot for her.

I'd love any advice for indoor grown Rex begonias in terms of light, water and soil. The soil I just bought her in seems very light and airy with woodchips (last 2 photos). Could I mix that with potting soil, coco perlite, perlite and some more coco coir to keep it nice and fluffy?

Tap water or is she a diva that wants distilled water? I only get rainwater in the winter and now it's summer so that's not an option right now.

TLDR: Tips and advice for Begonia Rex appreciated 🙏
