#Avonia

[wenbochenphoto]

Karoo gansmis (Avonia papyracea) is said to mimic bird droppings to avoid herbivores in the desert of the Northern Cape. But I suspect it resembles more caterpillars and thus may be more attractive to birds? (the Chinese name is 银蚕 , which means silver silkworm). The white scales (stipules) function as shade clothes to protect the small green leaves underneath from the harsh desert sun. How clever it is!

Book Review for The Royal Treatment

Shockingly Funny – I get it now! This book had me in hysterics at the beginning. I laughed so hard during the first two chapters my sides hurt. As a first time reader of Melanie Summers, I wasn’t sure if I would like a royalty themed book. Yes, I enjoyed the Eldovia series by Jenny Holiday immensely but I was cautiously optimistic with this one. Prince Arthur won me over before I even got past the first page!

Deemed the dullest member of the Sharpe family, the constant butt of every joke, all Tessa wants is a little respect. Longing once again to be a distinguished journalist, she bides her time bringing in revenue as a photography blogger, running blogger and product tester, and with her attention garnishing Royal Watch blog – calling out the Royal Family and leading the charge to bring down the monarchy. Little does she know, she may be the one thing that can actually save the family she openly despises. That is if Prince Arthur can do the impossible, convince his biggest critic that Avonia needs the Royal Family.

A quick and absolutely delightful read, I can’t wait to continue the trilogy. I plan on getting my hands on the bonus “The Royal Engagement” before jumping into The Royal Wedding. Not going to lie, secretly hoping the King gets his and can’t wait to see what Grandmum says next!

New Family Added (22/5)

Ghetsis/Aldith

Aldith joins Team Plasma during the events of BW, but she doesn’t date Ghetsis until the events of B2W2. She is a year older than Ghetsis’ son, N, so he is disgusted by the whole thing. They have a daughter named Avonia. Avonia is as cruel as her parents.
