Finished up my hanging baskets 🌱

Made some decisions and set this pōhutukawa on its path. 🌱🇳🇿

Ice cream beans are a tropical fruit that you’ll seldom see elsewhere. They’re giant bean pods full of seeds and a sweet, vanilla-flavored pulp. 🌱🌴

🌱If I could make a living from gardening, I would surely devote myself to perennials. Penstemon from seed 💜💙💚

Asa Gray was a 19th-century botanist at Harvard, an early adopter of Darwin’s ideas & the among the first to notice the uncanny resemblance between plants of E. North Amer. and those of East Asia. 📷1: Catalpa bignonioides of ENA. 📷2: C. ovata alooides CCBYNC4 of EA. #Bignoniaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

@norska11.bsky.social I'll have to move B. melanobullata into a bin until it's big enough for a bubble because it's getting too big for the little seed-starter-thing it's currently in. 😂

Fog- & dew-catching plants occur outside SW Africa. For example, the extremely fuzzy leaves of Tillandsia tectorum harvest fog from the dry parts of Peru & Ecuador, where it is a lithophyte/epiphyte. 📷: jhanyp90 CCBYNC4 #Bromeliaceae #fog #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

On Isla Guadalupe, Mexico, fog inputs, through direct absorption by the leaves & drip to the root zone, support endemic species, e.g., Pinus radiata var. binata (📷: Ángel Méndez CCBYNC4) & Brahea edulis (📷: william_hoyer CCBYNC4). #Pinaceae #Arecaceae #fog #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

More fog interceptors! #fog #Casuarinaceae

The world’s tallest tree sp. is a fog collector! Sequoia sempervirens gets a significant part of its water budget from the fog that blankets the coastal redwood forest at night. It absorbs fog with its needles & dripping H20 with its roots. 📷: Theo Crazzolara CCBY2 #Cupressaceae #fog #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

The Asa Gray Disjunction is the biogeographical relationship between Eastern North America & the Sino-Japanese Floristic Region of East Asia. Classic example: Liriodendron (#Magnoliaceae) has just 2 spp: 📷1: L. tulipifera of ENA & 📷2: L. chinense Jiao Sun CCBY4 of EA. #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

It appears all my purpuratas are flowering about a month early this year Cattleya purpurata var. striata ‘Rincon’ #orchid #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macrophotopraphy 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

It’s gorgeous. 🇨🇦🌱

Transplanted the yautía from pots to a nice shady patch next to the porch. Forgive them for looking scrungly rn, they just adjusted to being outdoors but they're gonna get huge. I also found 11 new baby corms to start even more! 🌱

My hostas are loving all of the rain we've been getting in Atlanta. 🌱

I forgot to check to see if this hybrid had a fragrance Zygopetalum hybrid (noID) #orchid #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling #photography #naturephotography 🌱🌴🪴sky

Here's Begonia burkilli ‘Dark’ (another form of B. burkilli) a Rhizomatous type of species Begonia from India & Burma. Dark, smoky foliage. Blooms: pale pink. Burkilli is a dioecious species, meaning that male & female flowers occur on separate plants (like kiwi). Likes high humidity.🌱 #begonias.

Here's Begonia burkilli ‘Variegated’, another form of B. burkilli, a Rhizomatous type of species Begonia from India & Burma. Variegated, silvery-green & brown leaves are strongly peltate, hanging down to create a very lush shielded appearance. Blooms: pale pink. Likes high humidity.🌱 #begonias.

When I was a kid I thought there was something magical about mountain laurel, the #CT state flower-maybe because my brother said I'd go to jail if I picked it. 😂I had no idea it grew in people's yards, just on wooded hillsides. Now it fills the wooded parts of my small yard and it's still lovely 🌱🌸

Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos'. At last! I had a blooming size one with two spikes, but it didn't survive the move across the country. This is a seedling that should be ready to go in 2-3 years. #Psychopsis #Mendenhall #Orchidaceae 🌱
