THE CANE, FROM FOREST TO POSTERIOR

It Is Not What You Might Think It Is

—

Above is an image of Rattan growing in the wild. It is not, as one might expect, a Bamboo like member of the Grass Family. So let me tell you a little more about it.

Rattan is of the Genus (first name in the latinized botanical name of plants) Calamus and is a sort of Palm.

—

Calamus grows all the way from southern India and Sri Lanka right across South East Asia in damp rain forest conditions. It is a type of Palm and starts life as a free growing plant on the rain forest floor until it reaches about one and a half meters. Once it reaches this height it starts to develop spines, as in the picture above, and uses these to scramble up the surrounding vegetation. It is not farmed or cultivated commercially, but is gathered from the wild. There are literally hundreds of species of Calamus, which might explain the variety of spanking canes available.

Now that we know where Rattan Canes come from, let’s enjoy seeing what can be done with them

TIS THE SEASON TO BE BIRCHING, TRA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA

At Least In The Northern Hemisphere

—

You might have noticed that there has been a bit of a birching theme, on this blog, since Saturday. I thought that I would bring that to an end today with a selection of images and a few thoughts on the subject.

I Wonder If Birches Turn Out Better, If You Get Naked To Make Them?

I will have to try it one day. Just to find out for myself 🙂

But Spring Is The Best Time Of Year To Make Birches

—

As birches are best made out of the newer growth of fast-growing trees and shrubs, you have the whole of last year’s new growth to play with.

—

And as most of the plants have not budded yet, you do not have the tedious task of picking all the leaves off the branches, before making the birch.

—

In spring, just prior to the buds bursting, the amount of sap running into the branches tends to increase. Making the branches a little heavier and more flexible than normal.

I Have Only Experienced Three Types Of Birch

There are dozens of trees and shrubs, that you can make birch rods out of, but I have only ever been on the receiving end of three of these.

Siberian dog wood birch

—

Although these look big, red and mean, these really are the birch for wimps. A spanker can thrash away with one of these and it is one of the easiest toys for the recipient to experience. The pain level is not high at all.

HEAVY DOGWOOD BIRCH

Willow birch

—

These are very ouchy and may be beyond the limits of a new spankee. But an experienced player will probably enjoy this toy. The type of pain sensation is special, even a bit yummy.

WILLOW BIRCH

Hazel wood birch

—

I would describe being spanked with one of these as one of the most challenging spankee experiences that you can have. It is incredibly painful and it does not surprise me that they used to be used for real judicial punishments, in the bad old days.

And Just A Few More Birching Images To Enjoy

And that concludes this little miniseries of birch related postings on this blog… For now 🙂

NOW THE AUTUMN LEAVES ARE TURNING TO THE COLOUR OF YOUR REAR

The Sun Fades Softly As The Year Grows Old

Here in Northern Europe the days are getting shorter, the wind chillier and the leaves have started to change colour. Many of the trees that I see make me think of other parts of a person’s anatomy that looks better in that shade of Autumn blush.

Changed by the season

Changed by the hand

A blush of scarlet parted by the divide

Another blush of scarlet parted by the divide

Soon the leaves will need to be gathered from the ground

Perhaps a brush would help with that job 🙂

Happy autumn everyone

Is Kink Corny?

Tied up with corny bondage

It has a different logo on it but this image is on a calendar that I was given last Christmas. I thought that I would share this image, as I had found a version on the interwebs. Put the term Kinky corn into an image search engine and it does turn up some interesting results. Mostly due to a corncobs natural shape and texture I supose 🙂

I wonder what other plant related kinky items there are out there?

>A Plant Post. Calamus – common name Rattan – A Hiatus Repost

>

I am a Hortic so there had to be a plant post in this hiatus series and what could be more appropriate than the source of most of our canes. Original post HERE.

The picture above is of a finished Rattan Cane as available from Stockroom

Below is a young Calamus Gibbsianus. The picture comes from Flickr.

Left is the stem of an adult Calamus. Also from Flickr.

Now I thought I would be clever and write a plant profile that is relevant to both Spankos and Hortics. The problem is that I have never worked with this plant and thought that I could punch Rattan into a search engine and get the relevant info WRONG.

What I found was that there are over 600 different varieties of Calamus and nobody seems to be too sure which one Rattan Canes are made of.

This is what I found out.

Calamus grows all the way from southern India and Sri lanca right across South East Asia in damp rain forest conditions. It is a type of Palm and starts life as as a free growing plant on the rain forest floor until it reaches about one and a half meters, similar to the Calamus gibbsianus pictured above right. Once it reaches this height it starts to develop spines, as in the picture on the left and uses these to scramble up the surrounding vegetation. It is not Farmed or cultivated commercially but is gathered from the wild.

Some variates are also known by the common name Sweet Flag and the aromatic roots are used in both herbal medicines and aromatherapy.

If anybody knows how it gets from its raw state to a harsh toy please do tell.
