Plant of the Day
Saturday 5 October 2024
In my friend‘s old cottage garden on Orkney this cultivar, probably of Colchicum autumnale 'Pleniflorum' (meadow saffron, autumn crocus, fog crocus, meadow crocus, Michaelmas crocus, upstart), has been here for decades in a sheltered border. This cormous herbaceous perennial flowers in the autumn and will produce large leaves in the spring.

it's always so funny when people start ranting about hfcs as some great evil.
bestie the sugarbeet lobby got the government to put hefty tariffs on most forms of sugar imports in the mid 70s. and nearly doubled the price of regular sugar in a matter of weeks as supplies of pre-tariff imports ran out.
then the damn sugarbeet farmers couldn't grow enough extra sugarbeets anyway to meet demand (america has ALWAYS been heavy on sugar. it's a core cuisine element). and ofc the few other crops you can easily extract and refine sugar from, like sugarcane, have pretty restrictive areas for cultivation in US borders.
that's why there's HFCS, which despite what weird losers and diet scammers claim does not have any actual different effect than other sugar preparations, to meet the supply now, using techniques developed in Japan in the 1950s to meet a different kind of issue with supply of sugar. and despite what people like to say HFCS isn't "subsidized" to make it cheaper nor would it be cheaper anyway, it's inherently more expensive to make.
but because the sugarbeet assholes got the tariffs in in the mid 70s and no one's ever seriously lobbied to remove them, HFCS has been price-competitive with the much higher price of other sugars in the US, solely because all sugars including HFCS are much pricier to the wholesale market than in just about any other country that isn't experiencing a war and curtailed imports because of that war.
incidentally, the tariffs don't apply to imported prepared foods - which is why there's huge factories just across the Canadian and Mexican borders to make things like candy out of cheap normal global price sugar and send 'em over the border - there are costs associated with this of course, but they're much less than paying double for a primary ingredient.
also almost all the time when something is "subsidized" for the farmer in the US (or really, most other countries) that does not mean it is cheaper for the farmer to grow or cheaper for the end customer to buy. it means the government maintains a price floor or a means of purchasing spare crops that don't sell on the domestic market - it means prices go up. that's why the common dipshit idea of "hfcs is because corn is subsidized so its cheap" is wrong on multiple levels.

A lovely sight growing naturalised in grass were the flowers of Crocus speciosus subsp. speciosus (Bieberstein’s crocus). This small, perennial corm, produces large, solitary, long-tubed flowers in autumn, before the narrow leaves appear in winter.
