🌱Today’s flower/plant photo is a Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) with a Yellow-Faced Bumblebee (Bombus vosnesenskii) perched upon it.

My gosh it is freaking dire out there, if you have the need or guts to be online today, please enjoy this lovely orchid cactus flower from a rare sunny winter day in the Inland Northwest. 🌱🌿

Light and light Luz y luz Licht und leicht #nature #light

A carrot almost as big as our shed! Not too shabby for the first harvest of the year, I hope I can keep this up. #allotment 🌱

I’ll definitely be growing some more mushrooms. Have had a super crop of golden enoki, grown in my homemade fruiting chamber ( a repurposed old fish tank) Stacks from this first flush & hopefully will get a second crop #GardensHour

"The plant is blind but it knows enough to keep pushing upwards towards the light, and it will continue to do this in the face of endless discouragements." -George Orwell

Hugo Chavez was the best thing to happen to Venezuela, he took extreme poverty from 67% to just 6% in a decade. He was so successful in fact that the USA decided they had to destroy Venezuela or they would lose South America to Socialism. That is what actually happened.

*He's right. That's impressive

"Get the facts right! How the USA has disrupted democratic governance in Latin America for over 100 years! Setting up right wing entities that destabilized the region and brought untold violence and corruption but gave the USA run over our minerals and resources!" via John Leguizamo

The US may be about to launch an operation from its bases on UK soil against an oil tanker. I ask what and when the UK government will be informed about the operation. Will we have any say on its nature? No answer #Sovereignty?

The golden hour light was just perfect for this little guy. I love the details you find when you get intimate with nature. Mother nature provides. #Photography #NaturePhotography #MacroPhotography #Mushrooms #Fungi #Forest #GoldenHour

In other jewel #orchids terrarium news, the silvery jewel orchid Goodyera viridiflora is blooming waaaay in the back. The flowers are intricate and cute, but unobtrusive. Once I show it to my fellow nerds at the orchid club meeting next Wednesday, I'll probably cut it off in favor of leafy vibes. 🌱🪴

The cover art is finished for my new book and I LOVE IT! This safari tour of the life in soil and what is means to us, is now available for pre-order as ebook, soft and hardcover in the UK and Commonwealth. Published in August next year (US date soon), I hope it'll entice everyone to love soil! 🧪🪱

🌱I know I say this a lot, but this really is one of my favorite dahlias ever🌸🌼💚 #flowerfeed #bloomscrolling

Sequoia bonsai in training. Ready for the sacrifice leader to be made a shari. Ready for 2ndry and tertiary branches. Recently put into this pot also. 🌱🇳🇿

My pipevine didn't attract any butterflies this year but they did drop some seed that sprouted. Repotted these toxic little death carrots.

Great to see the Garrya starting to flower in the garden despite the cold #TinyFlowerTuesday 🌱 #Gardening #UKGardening #FlowerFeed #BloomScrolling

🌱Today’s flower/plant photo is called Painted Tongue (Salpiglossis Sinuata), which we grew from seed for 1st time last Spring. They come in a variety of colours, bloom steadily and are (in theory) perennial (we’ll see how perennial they are after a very wet & cold winter).

The arrival of the sun brings enchantment to the snow-covered landscape this morning. #Thicktrunktuesday #photography #winter

Today marks day 65 of Heba Muraisi’s hunger strike. Day 58 for Kamran Ahmed. They are now at imminent risk of death and this Labour government remains spineless and cowardly — refusing even to meet their lawyers while lives hang in the balance.

Looking forward to the centristsplaining of this one that isn't the simple answer that the Labour government have their heads up the asses of the PayPal mafia.

“Socialism for the rich, and rugged individualism for the poor.” -MLK

Laurustinus, with what might poetically be called a dusting of snow but is more like a crusting of ice really 🌱 #Bloomscrolling

Ah, British humour, best in the world... Rule Britannia 🇬🇧🇬🇧

No one is asking Wes Streeting to be a commentator. Asking him to be a government minister when the whole world can see Trump breaking international law whilst threatening Greenland next, and the Cabinet (with Nigel Farage) seems perfectly fine with it.

After 15 years of cuts and redistribution, the British economy is weaker, investment is still anaemic and living standards are stalled – yet all major parties remain committed to a policy that has repeatedly failed to deliver recovery, says MICHAEL BURKE morningstaronline.co.uk/article/much...

Good morning everyone. #TreeOfTheDay no.1336 and a very happy #thicktrunktuesday. A winter visit to my favourite tree.

Oh to be by the brook happy #thicktrunktuesday
