A bright green fern frond is uncoiling. It’s currently in spiral form. Its leaflets are visible on the side, each one uncoiling in its own separate pattern.

Grilling on an overcast day, posting pics of yard flowers and such on the interwebs. Another day, another celebration of mundanity. Enjoy y'all :)

My favourite photo of the week - Field Forget-me-not growing on a grassy bit which one of the local business parks is encouraging to grow as wildflowers. Smaller and paler flowers than the hulking big garden escapes I see more often in urban #Swindon. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Several clusters of pale blue flowers on top of a stem which is covered in short hairs. Some of the flowers are in the process of opening; these are pink rather than blue, the blue colour developing once they're fully open.

The passion flowers are in bloom, looking like a merry-go-round jointly designed by Dr. Seuss and H.P. Lovecraft.

#plants #flowers #florespondence

We see a very colorful, complicated flower made of many squiggly parts. At its base is a skirt of white petals that spread wide and droop down. Layered on top of this is a "grass skirt" made of squiggly purple and white speckled tentacles. At the waist is a belt of short beet-colored anemone tentacles. Rising from the center of this is a short speckled white stalk like the stem of a mushroom. Atop this stalk is a shape like a green melon. From the melon's base, four yellow arms with magenta polka dots extend out and droop down. At the end of each arm, perpendicular to it, is a yellow banana-shaped object. From the top of the melon, four yellow shapes like sinuous giraffe legs extend out between the banana-holding arms. Each giraffe leg has a brown cloven hoof at its end.

Can anyone ID this flying insect? It looks really neat. It was hard getting a photo of it and it didn't stay very long before it flew away.

Edit to add- thanks for the help everyone! :) It looks like it is a Sphecid/Sceliphron/Mud Dauber wasp. It came back and is enjoying more of the Sarracenia nectar.

Whew! I knew this was going to be a tricky replanting and it was but went more smoothly than I'd expected. This mini bog started out in 2023 as a random throwing things together with different Sundew seed stalks, moss and some Butterworts in a Tupperware-type container using coconut coir as the growing medium and I actually didn't expect it to survive. It seemed to (mostly) do okay and it was time to move it to a larger container.

For as often as I tromp around in the woods I have never found Ghost Pipes THIS color. From what I see online, it’s a rare variant of the usually whitish/pinkish Monotropa uniflora.

One of my favorite discoveries this summer!

#Nature #NewEngland #plants

Approximately 15 Ghost Pipes, or Corpse Plants are growing straight up from the forest floor. Whereas the majority of these plants in North America are white or pink or sometimes yellowish, these are licorice red. They resemble red asparagus complete with the little notches on their stem. At the top they have lantern shaped flowers, that normally drop downward, but these are pollinated so they stand erect.

O lírio ta vindo bem, desde que chegou aqui. Crescendo novas folhas. Lembrar de ser mais como o lírio: um pouquinho de cada vez pra florescer bem, é melhor do que tudo de uma vez e depois murchar.

Cthulhu tree stump in Florida
http://imgur.com/gallery/ocXcLUF

#trees #Cthulhu #Lovecraft #HPLovecraft #Florida #plants #monsters

A bizarrely twisted tree in a sunlit woodland clearing, surrounded by a carpet of dry brown leaves. The tree curls back down on itself, its thick branches snaking tightly around its own trunk and curling into the ground. The general appearance is beautifully monstrous, as though the branches were tentacles. A roughly circular scar on the bark where you might expect to see an eye, if this were a creature, strengthens its Cthulhu-like vibes. A few metres beyond it are ferns and upright trees.

Another new plant in our garden - these are the tips of the leaves of Titanopsis hugo-schlechteri (aka Jewel Plant or Living Rock). It's a cute little succulent with really interesting textures

I send thanks to the buyer from Canada who purchased a canvas print of

Purple Iris -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/purple-iris-steve-henderson.html?product=canvas-print

Spring is on its way! May the artwork take you to a glorious day in late spring, when the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing. And may it take you there any time of the year.

Cleaned up and moved the dormant Drosera paradoxa (sundew) into a new pot. It's in an open glass container until the ambient humidity in this room goes up. This one came out of dormancy mid going into late March last year (see link at https://layer8.space/@chillicampari/112169585969118118), but it can vary. As I am doing with a few other plants, I top dressed it with chopped fresh sphagnum moss that I keep in a jar.

Checking in on the bog that I replanted on the 16th with a digital magnifier to see how it is settling in. Seems like it's doing okay (most sundew traps are progressing except for a couple and the Venus Flytrap seeds seem to have set). Some moss has burnt tips like it did in the old container and not sure if it's the lighting, dry conditions or something else yet.
