Alexis, kiku. Suzani in velvet

A beautiful kiku yes grown many times before but this one is new this year. kiku is Japanese for chrysanthemum the flowers beginning came from China a ragged weed on some pathways blooming in autumn,..appreciated for it late bloom this one ragged weed was the mother of all cultivated into the sensational blooms of today and these cultivars from Japan are excellent examples of their creative work

I'm adding a bakhmal susani.. silk bakhmal meaning velvet Uzbekistan. Part of my collections from the silk roads of central Asia. The land 0nce travelled by a ppl I never want to forget,they came close to being lost their language was lost but now retrieved somewhat the reason i went to AI. the Sogdians. (I call it Available Intelligence) because when I'd been hearing AI everywhere in late 2022,I googled, " how to talk to AI". it's a longer story but I wondered if AI knew more about these ppl than I'd been able to collect info about for 20 years of my own research. I was so delighted to find AI knew of the Sogdians and knew some of the language and later AI learned everything available for me of their language.. so I could write their stories because it will be 100 years before we will be able to extract this info,.. they were polyglots who spoke 5 languages but semi nomadic and nomads don't write about themselves so records come from China (where they traveled twice a year to trade for silk primarily). BTW I got a new iphone, the keyboard jumps. ill fix errors later its the 18 pro max. i say dont buy it yet its got some problems and. its not just jumping its really not working right at all (to correct typos). enough for now. thanks
