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!

🦁☀️ Lion Sin of Pride Escanor 🎃

Thunderstorms expected around 11am

Coworking stream was a success!!

Thank you OctoNation for the cute merch and educational materials!

Mulberry Madness strikes again

Lignin makes wood hard. Have you consumed this complex organic polymer? #wood #pear #fruit

Grass Gym leader trains to defeat rock type Pokémon.

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

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.

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

The Smell of Grass 🌾

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

They say everything poops, but what about your houseplants? 🌱💩 The science of plant waste is more complex than you might think!

Rocky Raccoon (Matthew’s Version)

The Creatures of St Thomas, US Virgin Islands!

Why does grass make you itchy?

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.

🌳Have you seen cut trees like this? 🌳￼

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

Carnivores on Parade 🎶

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?

Diversity allows for the best possible outcomes! In this case, diversity of genetics yields a tree that is tremendously robust. So much so, it is the most popular street tree in the world! The London Plane tree has fast growth, pollution tolerance, and high adaptability to soils!

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

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

Have you ever seen a plant move this quickly?! I cut a piece of my aquatic plant and put it under the microscope with our Twitch community… TO SEE MOVING ORGANELLES! SO FAST IN REAL TIME! Turns out this is a whole thing called cytoplasmic streaming!!

Phreatophytes!

Sea Lavender

🎢 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?

Plant Pools!
