The chance of me giving you bay leaves at the bar is low… but never zero

I don’t know how this gym got person to do indoor fire works…

Feeling Fantastic

Outside of plants, music, and games, one of my favorite hobbies is weight lifting. To my surprise, I hit a bunch of my goals yesterday! I didn’t think I would be able to as I have had significant knee and shoulder pain, but I worked back into it slowly and now we hitting goals!

Everybody will be dancing and we’re doing it right.

Grass Gym leader trains to defeat rock type Pokémon.

Preparing for mulberry adventure

I’m in heaven now, so sorry I died. I’m happy here

The Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo) is shrub to small tree in the blueberry family native to the Mediterranean! “Unum tantum edo“ wrote Pliny the Elder meaning “I only eat one” perhaps because they are bland, or as I like to think, they are so good he only treats himself to one.

The Altar of the Golden Ram

Coming soon

Come hang on Twitch and play cult of the lamb! Tin whistle ritual is a blessing to the golden Ram for good fortune

It’s never a bad time to learn about the science of seeds, especially germination! Much like the seed, I too am waiting for imbibition, restoration, and elongation. #botany #horticulture #seeds #germination

The Smell of Grass 🌾

Matthew runs around and looks at plants: STAR JASMINE AND FAMILY! Do you know any plants in the Dogbane Family (Apocynaceae)? #botany

The Creatures of St Thomas, US Virgin Islands!

Rocky Raccoon (Matthew’s Version)

If you show up early for your flight, you’ll have time to explore the plants at the airport! #botany #houseplants #horticulture #airport

Why does grass make you itchy?

🌳Have you seen cut trees like this? 🌳￼

🎢 Between the rides, I was busy looking at all the plants at Universal Epic Universe. 🌳 Have you visited and if so what was your favorite experience?

Carnivores on Parade 🎶

Green Leaf Volatiles (Throwback to Dec 2023) Plants communicate in many ways!

The Wardian Case changed the world. It increased plant survival from 1% to 95% leading the houseplant craze in England, the destruction of tea and rubber monopolies in China and Brazil, fueled imperial expansion, and the rapid spread of invasive species.

Sea Lavender

Phreatophytes!

Nightmares to Nursery Finds, the Centipede Plant (Muehlenbeckia platyclada) features unusual flatted stems with prominent segments! In plants, these segments are called phytomers - the basic structural and functional unit of most plants. Can you spot the Phytomer on other plants?

The Chilean Wine Palm (Jubaea chilensis) is prized for its sweet sap formerly used to make wine and seeds which look like small coconuts. Darwin described these palms as being ugly trees (compared to other palms) as the trunks were of irregular diameter. #botany #plant #chile

Plant Pools!

Botanist reacts to Quel’Thalas! Anthuriums, Evergreen topiary and more in the land of eternal spring! Catch me in Eversong collecting those tranquility blooms. #wow #worldofwarcraft #botany
