Urinary incontinence postradical prostatectomy is a common problem which adversely affects quality of life. Concomitant bladder neck contracture in the setting of postprostatectomy incontinence represents a challenging clinical problem. Postprostatectomy bladder neck contracture is frequently recurrent and makes surgical management of incontinence difficult. The aetiology of bladder neck contracture and what constitutes the optimum management strategy are controversial. Here we review the literature and also present our approach.

1. Introduction

Despite advances in surgical technique in recent years, urinary incontinence remains a relatively common complication following radical prostatectomy [1]. The true incidence of postprostatectomy incontinence (PPI) is difficult to ascertain owing to the lack of a single definition of what actually constitutes continence after radical prostatectomy. EAU guidelines define continence following radical prostatectomy as either total control with no leakage or pad usage, no pad use but loss of a few drops of urine, or use of up to one “safety” pad per day [2]. Nevertheless radical prostatectomy does represent the commonest cause of stress urinary incontinence in men [3], and it has been estimated that 14–20% of men who undergo radical prostatectomy will use absorbent pads on the long term to manage incontinence [4]. With the increasing number of radical prostatectomies currently performed, the incidence of PPI is also likely to rise [1].

PPI can have devastating effects on quality-of-life patients treated for prostate cancer and may result in considerable psychological morbidity [5]. PPI itself can be difficult to treat, and concomitant bladder neck contracture (BNC) presents an even more challenging clinical problem. The presence of a BNC itself may impact upon continence, and persistent contractures complicate the surgical management for PPI. In addition, treatment for recurrent and intractable BNC may result in de novo incontinence which then needs to be addressed.

Controversy exists as to both the underlying aetiology of bladder neck contracture and also how best to manage it. In this article we paper the literature and present our approach.

2. Aetiology of Bladder Neck Contracture

Bladder neck contracture, bladder neck stenosis, and anastomotic stenosis are synonymous terms and constitute a well-recognised complication following radical prostatectomy with a reported incidence of 0–32% [610]. Various technical and patient-based factors have been found to be associated with the formation of bladder neck contracture. However, few factors are reported with consistency between different studies and the precise aetiology remains to be firmly established.

Of the technical factors thought to play a role, the surgical approach seems to be of particular importance. Minimally invasive laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic techniques have a lower reported incidence of BNC when compared to open surgery [1012]. Indeed in a recently published series of 4592 patients, Sandhu et al. reported surgical approach to be the strongest predictor for subsequent development of BNC with a hazard ratio of 0.11 for laparoscopic versus open surgery ( ) [13]. Better visualisation whilst carrying out the anastomosis allowing more accurate mucosal apposition, a continuous suturing technique, and overall reduced intraoperative blood loss have all been cited has possible reasons for the difference seen between open and laparoscopic techniques [11, 14].

Other technical factors reported to be associated with development of BNC include degree of blood loss and haematoma formation [7, 8, 13, 15], calibre of the reconstructed bladder neck [15], and early urinary retention following catheter removal [16]. Urinary extravasation has been reported as important in several studies [7, 8, 13]; however, others have found that the degree of urinary extravasation is unrelated to BNC development provided a urinary catheter is left in place until extravasation is seen to resolve on cystography [15].

Borboroglu et al. have reported significantly higher rates of post-radical-prostatectomy BNC in smokers, those with ischaemic heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes [17] prompting the hypothesis that its development may be a manifestation of microvascular disease. Similarly, a multivariate analysis by Sandhu et al. found that age, body mass index, and comorbidity in particular preexisting renal disease were predictive for formation of BNC [13]. In contrast, in a series of 650 robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomies, Msezane et al. found no difference in age and body mass index between those who developed BNC and those who did not [14]. Other patient-based factors cited as contributory include previous TURP [7, 8] and a propensity to undergo hypertrophic scarring [18]. Tumour stage [8] and Gleason score [15] do not appear to be significantly associated with BNC development.

Clearly development of BNC following radical prostatectomy is not due to one single factor but is a result of an undoubtedly complex interplay between baseline patient characteristics and technical factors. However, the surgical aim of creating a tension-free, watertight anastomosis with good mucosal apposition and minimal devascularisation of the bladder neck must be seen as the best starting point for minimizing its occurrence.

3. Presentation and Effect of Bladder Neck Contracture on Urinary Continence

BNC typically presents with lower urinary tract symptoms in particular reduced stream shortly following radical prostatectomy or ultimately retention of urine. Retrospective series have reported that the majority of BNCs present within 6 months following prostatectomy [18, 19]. In a series with prospective followup, Giannarini et al. reported development of BNC at a median time of 3.8 months after radical prostatectomy [20]. Investigations usually reveal a reduced Qmax and an obstructive pattern on uroflowmetry following which the diagnosis is typically made at urethroscopy with the finding of a narrowed bladder neck which will not admit a flexible cystoscope.

Alternatively bladder neck contracture may present with or come to light during the workup for PPI. Indeed in multivariate analysis, development of bladder neck contracture has been shown to be an independent risk factor for urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy [21]. The effect of bladder neck contracture on urinary incontinence may be several fold. Firstly, bladder outflow obstruction due to a contracture may aggravate overactive bladder symptoms and thus worsen any component of urge incontinence contributing to the patients overall symptoms. Secondly, it has been suggested that, in determining the rigidity of the anastomotic region, presence of a bladder neck contracture may impair the ability of even a preserved external sphincter contraction to close the bladder outlet efficiently [20]. Conversely by virtue of causing bladder outlet obstruction, a bladder neck contracture may mask the severity of incontinence due to sphincteric deficiency. Thus treatment for BNC can have a positive or detrimental effect on urinary continence depending on which of the above aspects is predominant in the individual patient and what procedure is used. However, the outcome in terms of continence should largely be predictable.

4. The Management of Concomitant BNC and PPI

The optimum treatment for bladder neck contracture is controversial, and various authors have advocated differing strategies. Often success is reported differently between studies, and direct comparison of outcomes is difficult. Overall, treatment should be considered in light of the planned strategy for dealing with PPI. Where there is no plan to intervene for PPI, the ideal treatment for BNC would be minimally invasive and have no adverse effects on continence. In this situation simple transurethral procedures are most appropriate although, owing to the recurrent nature of the problem, repeat intervention may be required. Ramchandani et al. have advocated transurethral balloon dilatation and reported a success rate of 59% after initial treatment [22]. Park et al. reported a 92% success rate at 12 months with dilatation using the Nottingham dilators followed by a 3 month self catheterisation protocol; however, 27% required more than 2 procedures [18]. The findings of Surya et al. [7] illustrate the recurrent nature of bladder neck contracture; in their series, patients were managed initially with dilatation using either the Van Buren sounds or filiform bougies and followers with those requiring dilatation more than once every 6 weeks going onto having either cold knife incision or incision with electrocautery. Only 28% were managed with dilatation alone whilst only 62% responded to a single cold knife incision with the remainder of patients requiring additional periodic dilatation. In addition this study reported de novo incontinence in all patients whose contracture was treated with electrocautery. In contrast Popken et al. reported no adverse effects on continence with their strategy of endoscopic resection using electrocautery [6]. Yurkanin et al. have used cold knife incision at 4 o’clock and 8 o’clock and report a low retreatment rate of 17% [23]. Giannarini et al. also used cold knife incision and were able to demonstrate a positive effect on continence following treatment of BNC in 90% of patients as assessed by one-hour pad testing. Of the 21 originally incontinent men in their series, 11 had become continent (less than one gram increase in pad weight) and 8 had improved on pad testing at one month following incision of their contractures [20].

As well as self-catheterization protocols and repeat dilatations, novel strategies to mitigate contracture recurrence have been described. In a series of predominantly recurrent contractures, Eltahawy et al. report a success rate of 83% at 24 months followup using holmium laser incision followed by steroid injection [24]. Vanni et al. who describe radial incision with cold knife followed by injection with mitomycin C have found 72% success for bladder neck patency at 12 months following a single procedure [25]. Table 1 summarises the different strategies described for the endoscopic management of postradical prostatectomy BNC.

Table 1: Endoscopic management of postprostatectomy bladder neck contracture.

In the situation where definitive surgery for PPI in the form of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is planned, any BNC should be treated aggressively and a stable patent bladder neck ensured prior to AUS placement. This is to minimise the chance recurrence and the need for further endoscopic procedures which may damage the AUS once in situ or increase the chances of cuff erosion [26]. In addition, definitive treatment for a recurrent contracture may necessitate the sacrifice of continence to establish patency of the bladder outlet. As such, in these situations procedures to deal with the contracture are often combined with implantation of an AUS to restore continence.

Once again, multiple strategies have been described by different authors. Gousse et al. advocate a staged approach where aggressive transurethral incision of the bladder neck contracture at three, nine, and twelve o’clock by Collings knife is followed by AUS placement 6–8 weeks later provided a check cystocopy at 5 weeks confirms a patent bladder neck [27]. In contrast Mark et al. reported good results with synchronous Collings knife incision and AUS implantation in 26 patients [28]. Only one patient developed symptomatic BNC recurrence with the AUS in situ, and this was managed successfully with repeat incision at the time of sphincter revision. In a later paper, authors from the same institution reaffirm that a synchronous approach is successful in most situations but suggest that a staged approach may be required in patients with a history of multiple prior dilations or incisions or in the setting of long dense contractures [29]. Since BNC typically presents well before most urologists would consider surgical intervention for PPI, the majority patients with symptomatic BNC fall into the former group (having had prior procedures) by the time they are referred for surgical management of their incontinence, and, as such, practice in our tertiary centre is to carry out staged procedures (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Our approach to management of PPI with concomitant BNC.

Rarely, postprostatectomy BNC can be severe and entirely refractory to endoscopic measures, and these recalcitrant contractures combined with postprostatectomy incontinence represent a formidable challenge in terms of management. Essentially two strategies have been proposed to avoid long-term catheterization or urinary diversion: placement of a UroLume stent combined with AUS or open surgery to reconstruct the bladder neck again combined with AUS to restore continence.

Elliott et al. reported good results using UroLume stents followed, after a 3 month interval, by AUS placement in a series of 9 patients with recurrent contractures and severe stress incontinence. 88% were satisfied with the procedure, mean pad use declined from 6.5 to 0.7 per day, and within the 17.5 month followup no reoperations were required on the AUS [30]. One patient did, however, develop stent ingrowth which required placement of second overlapping stent. Anger et al. have also used this strategy following the failure of endoscopic management but proposed a shorter interval between stent placement and AUS implantation of only 4–6 weeks in order to minimise the period spent with total incontinence. In their series of 8 patients, stent obstruction due to ingrowth occurred in two patients at 4 and 6 months, respectively, and was successfully managed using a flexible ureteroscope and holmium laser resection of the hyperplastic tissue [29]. However, in a later study from the same institution with longer followup, Borawski and Webster report that 50% of patients managed with UroLume stent combined with AUS required an average of 2.25 procedures for stent ingrowth over 37 months. In addition 11 patients (27.5%) required a total of 18 AUS uncouplings to facilitate endoscopic treatment, and the risk of cuff erosion was higher (35% versus 10%) in those requiring treatment for stent ingrowth [26].

It has been reported that the rate of symptomatic tissue ingrowth with urethral stents in general approaches 25% [31]. In the setting of recurrent postradical prostatectomy BNC, the 5-year cumulative incidence of treatment failure following insertion of a single stent has been estimated at 50% [32]. This, together with other problems such as haematuria, stent migration, encrustation, and perineal pain, means that the role of stents must be seen as extremely limited in a setting where additional procedures to deal with stent complications are themselves compounded by the presence of an artificial urinary sphincter.

The alternative to UroLume stents in fit patients with good life expectancy and cancer control is open surgery to excise the stenosed bladder neck together with adjacent scar tissue and fashion a new anastomosis; again this is normally combined with AUS implantation to restore continence. Various approaches have been described including perineal [33] and combined abdominoperineal [34] with synchronous [34] or delayed [33] placement of AUS. Some authors [35, 36] advocate pubectomy to facilitate exposure and allow for a tension-free anastomosis whilst others have found this unnecessary [33]. A variety of reconstructive techniques have been used with similar success; however, owing to the rarity of the need for such interventions, the numbers in all published series are necessarily small [3337]. Indeed because these patients are complex, no single technique is likely to be applicable in all cases, and instead an individualised approach is required. This is illustrated by Wessells et al. who describe a series of four patients with obliterative contractures each requiring a different technique of reconstruction ranging from simple end-to-end anastomosis to onlay urethroplasty using full-thickness penile skin graft with rectus muscle flap for graft coverage [35]. In experienced centers, the long-term success from such procedures is around 70% [37].

5. Concomitant BNC and the Male Sling

The insertion of a synthetic suburethral male sling for the treatment of PPI is a relatively new procedure but is gaining worldwide popularity as a less invasive alternative to implantation of an AUS which also maintains spontaneous urethral voiding [38]. Sling devices seem to offer the best results in men with mild-to-moderate stress incontinence [39]. However, the global experience is still limited and more long-term results are awaited. Consequently experience of patients with concomitant BNC undergoing male sling is even more limited. Our standard practice is to attempt to identify patients with BNC prior to the insertion of a male sling. Patients with significant contracture will need bladder neck incision with Collings’ knife with the possibility of upgrading their PPI. This itself may lead to a change in the overall management plan for their urinary incontinence. In our experience, patients with concomitant BNC who initially appear to be suitable for the insertion of male sling often need the AUS once their BNC has been treated. However, in patients with mild BNC, it can be argued that synchronous treatment of BNC with insertion of a male sling may be appropriate [40]. Treatment of mild bladder neck stenosis is unlikely to change the grade of PPI, and the possibility of those patients having significant recurrence of BNC, which will require treatment in the future, is likely to be small.

6. Our Approach

Our unit has ran a specialist service dedicated to the management of PPI for a number of years, and the framework of our basic approach is illustrated in Figure 1. All patients receive a thorough initial clinical evaluation in terms of history, clinical examination, and ICIQ scoring. Subsequent investigation centres on high-quality video urodynamic studies to demonstrate stress incontinence and assess bladder capacity, any coexistent detrusor overactivity, or evidence of bladder outflow obstruction. Following this, patients found to have evidence of obstruction on urodynamics; those with voiding LUTS or a history of prior bladder neck contracture precede to flexible cystoscopy for further assessment and management as illustrated. Practically speaking almost all our patients undergo flexible cystoscopy as it also provides an opportunity to evaluate the sphincter condition; however, a small number with severe stress incontinence and no evidence of obstruction precede directly to surgery following urodynamic assessment.

7. Conclusion

The management of bladder neck contracture in the presence of PPI is challenging. Most patients can be successfully managed endoscopically, and cases requiring open excision and reconstruction are fortunately rare. Treatment of bladder neck contracture in the setting of mild PPI can be managed with conservative steps in the form of dilatation followed if necessary by intermittent self-catheterization to maintain patency. However, if the PPI warrants surgery, any concomitant BNC must be treated aggressively, and a stable, patent bladder neck should be ensured prior to placement of any prosthesis in order to avoid complicated recurrence.

Magefesa Practika Pressure Cooker Manual

Also for these models: FAVORIT, ULTRALUX, DUPLO, DUPLO luxe, PRACTIKA, and PRACTIKA luxe

Please wait a moment for the page to load. If the document preview does not load in the window, due to manual's file size, it can still be downloaded using the link, below.

Hip Notes:
The Practika is spring valve pressure cooker with a pressure selector with four settings: high pressure (2), low pressure (1), pressure release and valve removal. Pressure is released in the direction of the steam release selection. The lid is self-locking.

There is some confusion with these cookers about when to start counting the pressure cooking time because the red pressure indicator will rise before the selected pressure is fully reached – and if the heat is turned down at this point the cooker will loose pressure. Instead, this cooker has reached full pressure when the red indicator is solid (not springy) to the touch and a light stream of vapor exists the pressure selector.

Some readers, and we also, experienced initial problems with closing or opening the pressure cooker. This means that the gasket is out of position. The gasket should be placed going around, not over or under, the spring-loaded metal nub sticking out from the inside lip of the lid.

The NCPH and AASLH Meetings: A Report

Debbie Ann Doyle, November 2008

Editor’s Note: Debbie Ann Doyle, the AHA’s public history coordinator, attended two of the most important meetings of public historians that were held in spring and early fall 2008. We present below her report on the meetings.

National Council on Public History

The National Council on Public History (NCPH) met in Louisville, Kentucky, April 10–13, 2008. The meeting was especially notable for the international scope of the sessions, which focused on the theme “Public Histories of Union and Disunion.”

Numerous sessions at the meeting encouraged an international approach to public history. A session entitled “Globalizing Museums and Public History” explored how museums in the United States might incorporate a global perspective into their interpretation. Kathleen Hulser of the New-York Historical Society noted that museums created to document the lives of the American elite can also interpret the global trade networks that made the nation’s founders wealthy. A well-attended session organized around the Public Historian’s special issue with the theme, “Civic Engagement at Sites of Conscience,” encouraged attendees to think about the international reach and function of public history. The session and journal articles focused on the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, an organization for museums that seek to engage citizens with questions of human rights ( Bonita Bennett of the District Six Museum in Cape Town, South Africa (, described how the museum has preserved stories of a diverse neighborhood that was cleared and razed under apartheid but lives on in the memories of former residents. The museum is also active in seeking restitution for residents who were forcibly removed from their homes. Steve Long of the Lower East Side Tenement Museum of New York described discussion of immigration and fair labor practices through exhibits and programs such as English for Speakers of Other Languages classes for recent immigrants.

Museums in the coalition are committed to inviting the public into conversation and providing a safe place to present multiple perspectives on complex issues. The coalition has member sites in Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, the Czech Republic, Italy, Russia, Senegal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Issues addressed include postconflict and postcolonial history, religious conflict, state terrorism, migration history, and the history of poverty and social welfare.

The meeting concluded with a capstone plenary session designed to discuss how the conference theme was addressed in the sessions and in keynote addresses by Edward Linenthal (Indiana Univ.), NCPH President Bill Bryans (Oklahoma State Univ.), and Robert Sutton (chief historian, National Park Service). All three speakers considered the sometimes contentious intersections of memory and myth—what Linenthal called “felt history”—and history as historians understand it. A lively discussion of how public history can negotiate these tensions ensued.

At an awards luncheon on April 11, the NCPH presented its Student Project Award, Graduate Student Travel Awards, New Professional Award, the G. Wesley Johnson Award for the most outstanding article published in the Public Historian in the previous year, and the NCPH Book Award, Outstanding Public History Project Award, and Consultant Award. The names of the recipients and other details are available on the NCPH web site (

Approximately 430 historians attended the Louisville meeting, making it the NCPH’s second largest ever, after the 2007 meeting in Santa Fe that had attracted 475 participants.

American Association for State and Local History

The American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) met in Rochester, New York, September 9–13, 2008. Approximately 895 history professionals employed in museums, historical societies, historic houses, state museums, government agencies, and colleges and universities attended the meeting.

The 2008 meeting theme was “Discovering the Power of Transformation,” and change was indeed the focus of discussion and debate at many of the meeting sessions. Speakers engaged audiences in conversations about how museums, historic sites, and cultural agencies can attract new audiences, reach out to a more diverse cross-section of their communities, use new technologies to improve their interpretation and management practices, and respond to a rapidly changing funding environment. For the first time, the AASLH hosted a conference blog ( that allowed members who could not travel to Rochester to follow the conversation.

Social events and tours encouraged the networking that is a vital part of a successful meeting. A Thursday evening event at the Strong National Museum of Play offered historians the opportunity to hear the Senior Leadership Team describe how the institution refocused its exhibits and research to reach out to families with children and increase visitation. Historians networked while enjoying local food and drink, exploring exhibits of toys and artifacts from the collections of founding donor Margaret Woodbury Strong, riding the carousel, and engaging in some after-dinner dancing. Other tours, which focused on the Underground Railroad, the Seneca people, women’s rights, transportation, and corporate history, also allowed for a productive melding of business with pleasure.

Representatives of museums and historical organizations from around the country attended a packed awards banquet on Friday, September 12 to celebrate the recipients of 63 awards for excellence in exhibits, public programs, and publications. The Albert E. Corey Award for volunteer-operated historical organizations went to the Nahant Historical Society (Massachusetts) for its research and publication on the town’s role in the Civil War. John E. Fleming and E. Alvin Gerhardt received Awards of Distinction for their advocacy for African American history and the value of small museums. Speaker Deborah Hughes of the Susan B. Anthony House invigorated the audience with a discussion of the moral and civic importance of history, concluding, “you hold the keys to the past of your communities, and you hold the lens to the world’s future.”

Recently renovated for 2016, Creekside now features central air and heat, remodeled kitchens, new flooring, new beds, and more. You'll get the great prices you've come to expect at Creekside, with many modern conveniences and updates now included. Creekside East and West are adjoining cabins that offer you the full Pack Creek Ranch experience with economy and comfort. Each cabin can sleep up to six people. Situated in a former bunkhouse on the banks of Pack Creek, the verdant scrub oak trees and bird life of the creek bed are right outside the bathroom and kitchen windows. A stone-floored, shared front porch provides fantastic views of the La Sal Mountains and the sunset over the red rock rim. The Ranch offers a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, plus a year-round hot tub and sauna. Wildlife abounds and there are many nearby trails.

The open floor-plan of Creekside West provides a large bedroom with 2 comfortable queen beds and plenty of night-tables. For clothing storage, there is a 4-drawer dresser and wall hooks. In true cabin style, the living/dining area features rough-hewn walls and a west window to bring sunset skies close. There is plenty of relaxing to be had on the large sofa/sleeper and overstuffed easy chair. Nearby, the dining table provides seating for four.

The kitchen is equipped with dishes and cookware. Appliances include a 4-burner gas range with oven, 2-door refrigerator/freezer, microwave oven, coffee maker, and double sink. The newly renovated bathroom is roomy and features sunny yellow walls, a tile floor, hard-surface sink/vanity and one shower. There is no TV and cell service may be limited.

Associates from a number of The Home Depot stores in the Lower Mainland of BC spent the day volunteering at Aunt Leah’s Place- an organization that provides safe, secure housing and programs that give young people the practical skills they need to make a successful transition to adulthood and independence. Volunteers helped pre-load 60 holiday hampers with items such food and gifts for youth that have transitioned out Aunt Leah’s Place.

“This project was about our stores getting out and partnering with an organization that helps ensure youth in the Lower Mainland have something special to open this holiday season,” said Wilfred Meloche, Store Manager at The Home Depot North Surrey store. “Giving back to the community is so important to The Home Depot and we are thrilled to have been a part of this project.

Permaculture Training in Western Virginia

  • Subject: [cg] Permaculture Training in Western Virginia
  • From: P Corcoran plcsignup@yahoo.com
  • Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 06:52:33 -0700 (PDT)

Association for Regenerative Culture announces
Permaculture Design Courses
will be held near Roanoke, Virginia

Fundamentals of Permaculture Design
May 26 - June 3, 2006
Permaculture Design Practicum
July 21 - 29, 2006

"Permanent agriculture" or "permanent culture," a term coined by Australians David Holmgren and Bill Mollison in the 1970s, describes a design system for creating human settlements that function in harmony with nature. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and the ecological patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, organizations, housing developments, towns and villages, or city neighborhoods.

Instructors: Peter Bane is the publisher of Permaculture Activist. Since 1992 Peter has taught permaculture to over 700 students in locales from Canada to Patagonia. Last year he gave the closing keynote presentation to the 7th International Permaculture Convergence in Croatia.
Keith Johnson was Director of Sonoma (California) Permaculture until 1997. For the past 10 years he has managed a design, consulting, and construction company specializing in masonry, rock walls, waterfalls, earth repair, food forestry, and runoff management.
Dr. Lee Barnes received a Ph.D. in Environmental Horticulture from the University of Florida and has served as an agricultural extension agent for the state of North Carolina. He is a land stewardship consultant and a dowser who is passionate about bioregional and environmental education in the Southern Appalachians.
Dave ONeill is the owner and operator of Radical Roots Community Farm and the Director of the Arboretum at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Dave teaches permaculture design and organic gardening classes at Blue Ridge Community College and has experience in landscape design.

For more information about the courses, including the course syllabus, tuition, and registration forms, go to:
  or call (540) 344-5013.

If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain.
If you want ten years of prosperity, grow trees.
If you want one hundred years of prosperity, grow people.

Another BEHOLD A LADY X C SONG sdlng.  The photo seems to have captured
pigments a little different from the way they looked in person.  In the
photo, it looks pink with a bluish tint to the falls.  In life, it
looked like the falls were a slightly darker pink than the falls, but no
blue was evident.

These look especially awful with those lovely Schreiner irises just
posted! For educational value only!
