  • Not to be that guy, but the flag has also been co-opted by right-wingers in Mexico.

  • Mise en place.

  • Absolutely gorgeous plant! Apparently Drosera anglica grows naturally a bit North of me, but hasn't been spotted in a few years. I'd love to find one in the wild.

  • Some I found this summer.

  • It was pretty bitchin'

  • Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'

  • That's quite the combo, but I'd smash

  • Always a solid choice.

  • These are great shots. Pileated woodpeckers are pretty cool.

  • The sun is falling perfectly. A great showing of the starling's iridescence.

    Fun fact: that iridescence effect is caused by different feather structures reflecting light into different wavelengths.

  • Winter buns! If only I could get so lucky. I've been on the prowl for some chilly buns since we got a decent snowfall, no luck. I'm certain I'll get some good ones though.

  • I've got another fun fact that adjacently relates to this plant.

    So the ghost pipe leeches off of those mycorrhizal fungi, but those fungi share a symbiotic relationship with the tree. The fungi help the trees absorb water and nutrients and the fungi get sugar in return. Some of the most well known plants wouldn't be nearly as present if this relationship didn't happen. Take wild blueberries for example. They grow in acidic soil that is poor in nutrients. They'd die without these fungi. While not all mycorrhizal relationships are necessary, a vast majority of plants have this relationship.

    That blew my mind when I first read it, lol. Sorry for ranting.

  • These ones were probably 8" or so IIRC. I think these were the tallest I've found so far. Usually they're shorter and more hunched over.

    Chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sp.)

  • It does look like a scrotum, lol

  • That's interesting, thanks for sharing. I've not seen this plant before, too cool.

  • Carnivorous plants are truly alien.

  • Gorgeous! I love it!

  • I'm not sure, but that is a good point. That and seed dispersal seem like a good reason, that or it's a latent trait from a shared ancestor.
