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!

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.

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

NEW VENOM SKIN in Marvel Rivals! Looks carnivorous, but I would say it’s more parasitic. I appreciate the incorporation of Rafflesia (parasitic plants) as a nod to the symbiotic (or rather non-symbiotic parasitic) nature of Venom.

🍃This plant is constantly moving! Have you seen a plant move this much before? Maranta moves its leaves up and down rhythmically over 24 hours. This type of non-directional movement based on day and night cycles is called nyctinastic movement.

Don’t let socially constructed boundaries fool you! Planting native doesn’t mean “Native to your State”, it means native to your ecosystem. We can look at ecoregions (areas with distinct biotic and abiotic features) to understand our endemic systems.

What kind of plants can we find in downtown Oakland? We decided to run around Lake Merritt and focus on tree species first! Which area should we run around and look at plants next?

Have you seen plants pruned like this? This horticultural technique is called espalier, in which a woody plant is pruned to grow flat in a two-dimensional plane against a structure! Would you ever want to grow your fruit like this?!
