So these past few days I’ve been having a battle with conjunctivitis. Or, more commonly known as pink eye. It really sucks having this. I’m currently on antibiotics and so far, 3 days in, I think it’s finally working. Not am I only battling this conjunctivitis, but I also had some nasty eye infection that totally closed up my right eye. I can open it now though. It could of been caused by a lot of things – allergic reaction to something, or playing in the garden with all that dirt flying everywhere (and landing in my eyeball). Or perhaps it could of been from boxing this weekend and injuring/scratching my eyelid or something … eh who knows. Don’t worry, I can’t infect you via blog posts. Even my doctor said (and these were his exact words) “Don’t let anyone suck on your eyeball”. Not sure what kind of medical humor that was but … uh… akward!!!
Anyway, as my fellow blogger and Sarracenia grower/breeder friend James from Lost in the Landscape had suggested to me recently, now would be a perfect time to show you my pink eye.
You wanna see my pink eye?

MY PINK EYE!
Sarracenia “Pink Eye”
Now I got my pink eye from fellow Sarracenia Addict, Brooks Garcia. This photo is from September 2009. Sorry dudes, I can’t find anything more current right now, but this is the photo of S. “Pink Eye” that I was able to quickly locate to illustrate my present pink eye predicament. It’s still a young plant here as it was from a small division. I really have hopes to multiply it so that I could spread the “pink eye” to fellow growers. Yes! GET INFECTED (with Sarracenia madness!!) HA! 🙂
