Photographed against a dark backdrop with a stop of underexposure. For such a composition, where we place the point of focus could make or break the image. Here, the focus point was placed on the flowers in front.

Plant of the Day

Friday 27 January 2023

In this glasshouse the tender, evergreen perennial Solenostemon scutellarioides (coleus, painted nettle) creates a colourful pool of orange foliage. This plant has semi-succulent, square stems which will root easily from softwood cuttings which allows a huge range of cultivars to persist. The small, spikes of blue flowers are usually removed to encourage foliage development.

You each have an opportunity to add one type of flora/fauna to the setting, whether it lives in a place we’ve seen (mojave, commonwealth) or something you’ve imagined this area would be like (pacific northwest, florida) what critter/plant would you choose? 🫣

Answers below the cut!

Vance_Vampire: the Turkeys in 76 should really be in 4.

Findabair: Plant: Plectranthus scutellarioides, better known as Coleus. Critter: Capybara or Tapir

RurinGas: A very complicated question... Well, I'm naturally going to be a big ol shameless self-promoter and say that if I could add any Critter to the setting, it'd be a Kraken. I mean think about it, lots of the stuff that lives in the Mariana Trench already looks like a horribly irradiated monster, imagine how they'd look post radiation? The sea is probably the scariest place in-lore with all the weird stuff theres gotta be in there! Stuff that'd give a Deathclaw Nightmares!

V13Kobold: I'll be stereotypical here and say we need giant mutant snakes. Otherwise, I can't think of specific animals or plants I'd like to see.

MeatServo: I feel like mutated leeches are overdue on the east coast.

Rubbinmahbelly: Radmoose. Take a radstag but make it a moose. That fella would take out deathclaws no problem. Don't mess with moose.

NarratorJack: This is a interesing question, I suppose Cherry Trees since they're my favorite kind of tree. Sure it would be a bit out of place but surely some rich person from pre war times had at least one or two imported in lol

Rimuru_Mayhem: Tristerix aphyllus - it's a fascinating parasite that lives in cacti. Its seeds are dispersed by birds, and if a seed lands close enough to a viable cactus it will send out a feeler that lets it eventually invade the cactus' body. It has a stunning display of red flowers that burst from the cactus skin. Besides, I think the idea of something creeping inside and parasitizing you from the inside out is fascinating! Although it only occurs in certain parts of South America I would love to see it introduced as a sort of counterpart to the Overgrown in 76, maybe having expanded its range into the lower Mojave. Parasites are cool!

KateAces: I’d love to see weeping willows, my fave tree and yet to appear in fallout

AstralAbraxas: Well unfortunately for me, all of my favorite beasts already are in Fallout! But, I'd love to see an adaptation of Axolotl gulpers that aren't as wretchedly disgusting as they are in the tv show! I want to see a cute little critter, I want to tame one!
