Fall is officially here in the Pacific Northwest. Nights are
cooler. Days are shorter. We’ve started having the usual monsoon-like rainstorms.
The fall crocuses have bloomed and gone, the cyclamens are starting their
winter display, and the second, huge crop of brown turkey figs is getting ripe,
almost as big as apples and dripping with sugary juice. There’s not much fall
color yet, but there are tinges of red and yellow on some trees.
Now that the dismal winter season is just around the corner
(at least in my hemisphere), it’s time to have another contest of wits and
luck. Every so often, once a year, maybe, I check the statistics on my blog to
see which posts have the most views. I’m always surprised by the results. As
the years accumulate, some posts come and go, while others become perennial
favorites.
To win this contest, you have to guess which 5 blog posts
are the all-time favorites, in rank order. Whoever comes closest will win a 30
ml spray bottle of any of the 10 Olympic Orchids fragrances that are available
in the new retail packaging. That’s probably the most valuable prize I’ve ever
given away!
This contest will also keep you busy until next week when I get back from the orchid show in Seaside, Oregon and can post again. Enter your guesses, and stay tuned for another exciting contest soon.
So have at it, folks. Here’s a hint: you may find some clues
in the posts relevant to the last contest of this type.
[My photos. There's no trickery in the top one - the figs really are that gigantic due to all the rain we've had.]
