I second that because I’ve seen that picture looking up our plant a couple of weeks ago – the one that isn’t supposed to bloom when in a not climatically regulated room aka fit for humans in Southern Germany…
Not a Dracaena cinnabari (that’s the one in the picture above, you’ve got the common name right), but a ~ fragrans.
Dragon’s blood trees are only these three: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon%27s_blood_tree
I’ve encountered the formers’ pictures in search of the name of our plant. I’ve posted pictures.
Ours can’t tolerate direct sunlight, she gets sunburn.
Um….. very nice… I thought it would be pretty amazing if they all made it back and lived to a ripe old age, and were all available for this photo…. along with the same plane… and… well, you get it.
It’s still really cool, and kind of like that, just not quite that amazing…
Real WWII paratroopers, real plane…. just maybe not all the same exact paratroopers sitting on the exact same plane they flew on:
Tiffany’s!—that would have been more apt—when I did this 8 years ago or so Jared’s had a lot of advertising and were foremost in my mind then, but not so much now–haven’t heard or seen ads for Jared’s for a while
AFAIK, we don’t have Jared’s around here… I remember having to Google it, whether for this strip or something else.
But while it’s the same company as Zale’s, it’s supposed to be a bit more upscale, so the more I think about it, it’s probably what Clara would choose.
If Claude’s financial state didn’t affect her, she’d want Tiffany’s, maybe even Cartier…
But since they probably share the same bank accounts, I think she’d prefer not to pay twice as much just for a Tiffany’s mark and a little blue box.

Now i wanna cry.
Everybody needs a little TLC now and then.
I had to go out after work last night for a dinner meeting. Didn’t get home until 8:30. Cookie scolded me for a good 5 minutes…woo-woo-wooooo!

“What a great place! Perfect cell phone reception!”
Amazing looking tree. Like a giant mushroom with spiky green hair.
Turns out it’s a Socotra dragon blood tree, native to the Socotra archipelago, where this was taken.
It’s on the Arabian Sea, part of Yemen, of which this is the national tree.
Its blood-like red sap has had many.uses since antiquity, as a dye, as medicine, even as toothpaste.
Not sure about cell phone reception on the archipelago.
I dismissed the tree as AI straight away!
Sure looks like it… but it isn’t!

You have a dragon blood tree?
I didn’t know they would grow in Germany, or most of the US.
Maybe the American Southwest, where it’s hot…. Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas.

That should be hanging in the lobby of a recital hall.

With his accompanist!
$777!??
I’ll take two.
surprisingly , a restored ’39 Olds only fetches only around 20K
Well, if I order two new ones from 1939, they’ll be in perfect condition, and won’t need restoration.
So even $19,950 would be a great profit… and maybe it would go for a little more, being mint.
I didn’t think about selling them…. Maybe I should order five.

Is this the visual definition of “precarious”?
I’d probably faint while being rescued.
Not that it really makes any difference to its heart-warmingness … but no way are those kids just finishing kindergarten!
I don’t know what years kids start getting yearbooks these days… Do they really get them for kindergarten?
It would make more sense leaving elementary for middle school. That usually means going into grade 6.
They look a little too young. but they might be.
That would make them about 11, but I’d guess they’re more like 8 or 9.
I just don’t think they’re 5-and-6-year-olds.

Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart visit Hawaii with their son, Stephen, in 1954.
Got two of them. Now why didn’t I remember the son’s name?
Maybe the “ph” threw you off.
I’m a “ph” too!
Oops…Sorry.
I thought you posted once you were a “v”. š

I think yes. Look closer.
Nefarious!
Agreed!

World War II paratroopers seated across from their younger selves in the same plane that carried them into Normandy in 1944.

Gosh, Clara… If you’re the puppetmistress, why didn’t you have him go to Tiffany’s?
Well… I guess Jared’s makes more sense, because you’re also the treasurer.
Hope he got you something a little romanticš
