Bring a touch of incandescent warmth to your decor with the 'Captain Brunello' Calla Lily, a prestigious variety from the Captain series renowned for its unique burnt orange hue. Its rich tangerine-orange blooms catch the light and seem to radiate above lush green foliage delicately speckled with white. With its sturdy stems and architectural silhouette, this Calla is the ideal choice for those seeking exotic elegance and a bold colour presence in their summer containers or garden beds.
Characteristics
- Foliage : Arrow-shaped leaves of a rich green, dappled with elegant silver translucent spots. Deciduous (rhizomes must be overwintered).
- Flowers : Elegant spathes of a bright, warm orange, deepening slightly toward a copper tone as they age. Exceptionally rigid stems ensure an impeccable upright habit.
- Light Requirements : Prefers full sun for the most intense flower coloration but tolerates partial shade.
- Habit : Upright, stately, and compact.
- Growth : Moderate growth rate, reaching approximately 45 to 60 cm in height.
- Soil : Requires fertile soil, rich in organic matter, and providing excellent drainage.
- Temperature : Hardiness zone 9 (frost-sensitive; treated as a tender bulb).
- Resistance : Good heat resistance and low susceptibility to fungal diseases if the soil is not waterlogged.
Utilization
- Types of Use : Majestic in containers (focal point pot), perfect in planters on a sunny terrace, or integrated into a bed of tropical annual flowers.
- Decorative Advantages : Its vibrant orange colour creates dynamic contrasts with blue flowers or purple foliage. Excellent as a cut flower.
Maintenance
- Watering : Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, while avoiding excess stagnant water.
- Fertilization : Fertilize every two weeks with a phosphorus-rich fertilizer (such as 15-30-15) throughout the blooming period.
- Pruning : Remove spent blooms by cutting the stem cleanly at the base to stimulate the emergence of new buds.
- Planting : Plant rhizomes 10 cm deep once the soil is well-warmed and all risk of soil frost has passed.
- Winter Protection : Dig up rhizomes in the fall before the ground freezes, clean them, and store in a cool (10°C), dry place until spring.

Compelling - Beautifully done
Format: Kindle
I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading this. Ms Beaton has done an amazing job of storytelling.
So thankful for the recommendation from John Warner - The “BibliOracle” of the Chicago Tribune.
Several male members of my family worked in the Tar Sands projects over the last 30 years - mostly on Oil Exploration and the crew management side. But rumors about the rough environment were confirmed in this book. Reading this explains why one important family marriage failed from the “Wild West” behavior that took place there.
As Ms Beaton acknowledged, this work provided important income for those who worked the Tar Sands projects. My family included.
But the harm to the First Nations People and the environment are just terribly, horribly sad.

A human story of how our society operates
Format: Kindle
There's a lot of terms you could use to describe the themes in this book. Capitalism, patriarchy, settler-colonialism, climate change but the book doesn't need to throw these terms around. It just shows them through the eyes of a person who experienced them. There's also a feeling of "there but by the grace of god go I" having been tempted by the possibility of oil work myself during the Great Recession. The story of how our drive for oil eats at our humanity is vital and helps show the cost of how we've structured our society at a personal level. At times funny, heartwarming, and tragic, a fantastically written and drawn work that I have to highly recommend!

An amazing, if sometimes dark, memoir of work, solitude, and taking a pragmatic path in life.
Format: Hardcover
What do you do, when your only viable financial prospects are to move to even more remote, cold, dark and desolate land where you are part of a corporate mining operation dredging sands for valuable resources, living onsite in a company owned dormitory? Beaton recalls all this in her memoir of her post-university time, where she was faced with this decision to either live and work the oil sands, or face a life of financial bondage trying to pay back student loans, a decision we see many of her own countrymen face as their only viable means to survive.
If you are familiar with Beaton's comic strip work, you'll see familiar reference to the genesis of it here, but Ducks is a far more serious graphic novel. Both engaging and often times bleak, Ducks gives a wonderful window into the reality of Canada's oil industry, and the humanity of the people, who are nothing more than cogs in a machine, that run it.
