Birdflowers and Foxtails

[mera-mann-kehne-laga]

Mein mimicry in nature ke baare mein padh rahi thi. Matlab how some species in the animal kingdom or plant kingdom mimic other species for survival advantage.

There’s a flower species called Green birdflower. This flower literally mimics a small bird. These flowers take a bird ka roop to attract other birds, which are natural pollinators. The other advantage is that a phul patte khane wala jaanwar will avoid this flower which looks like a bird. Hence, increasing its chances of survival.

Now my main question is, HOW TF FOES THIS FLOWER KNOW WHAT A BIRD LOOKS LIKE IN ORDER TO TAKE A BIRD KA ROOP BRO IS THERE A UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS AT PLAY?? IS GAIA THEORY TRU?? MEIN RAAT BHAR ISKE BARE MEIN SOCHUNGI NATURE IS AMAZING

I DON'T NEED SLEEP I NEED ANSWERS WHERE ARE YOU MY PYAARE BIOLOGY MOOTS?!?!??

[jadeverse-asks]

!! can i ask for some hart spirit x male reader headcanons pls 🥺

Absolutely you can!! (also hi birdflower it's been a while! ^^)

Hart Spirit x Male Reader headcanons!

• Hart is definitely that kind of partner who can act like he's full of himself once he has you. For example if you're sitting in the crowd to watch one of his live performances, he might send you a quick wink or even pull his phone out in public just to text you something sappy XD

• He's still however getting used to physical affection though...the first time you hugged him he nearly froze up and it takes a few more for him to warm up and return them since he's only received hugs at a younger age..

• That being said though, Hart's absolute favorite way of showing affection is to keep eye contact while kissing your hand...he loves seeing how much you bright up and giggle over it >3

"Oh my, your palm really likes me too huh? Figured because I'm just sooo good when I do that~"

• It takes him a bit to gather the courage to tell his fans he's dating a man....he hasn't worked up to tell his parents though since they expect him to settle down with the right girl to promote Cheer City, and he hopes his fans respect that..

"Yeah I'm dating a dude, so what? You may send all the hashtags "oh my god Hart Spirit is so gay!" but I love Y/N this much and I'm not gonna stop!"

• Of course his teleporting pom-poms of power are how he takes you to the date areas he has in mind...his favorite spots tend to be the protein smoothie bars and sometimes even the back of his bleachers so you can help him with his video challenges, or just record a nice podcast together :3

• With you around he's been reluctantly more nice to Roi and his pals, he knows his long-determination to destroy the boy isn't going to get you on good standing with him anytime soon.....Doesn't seem to stop Jenny or Guava from teasing about him and Y/N though XD

"Gah, yeah I do that with him! One more word and I'll get back to work on that doomsday dev- uh Y/N I meant to say I was just gonna build a device of love! That's exactly what I was gonna say~"

Crotalaria cunninghamii

Crotalaria cunninghamii - Introduction: Crotalaria cunninghamii is a short-lived perennial plant native to Australia and its habitat is the deserts, coastlands, drainage lines and sand dunes of the northern half of Western Australia and the Northern Territory. It blooms from January to April and is pollinated by large bees and honeyeaters. Identification of Crotalaria cunninghamii: Crotalaria cunninghamii was identified by Alan Cunningham on a naval expedition in North Western Western Australia in the 1810s. During a seven-month trip to North Western Western Australian in 1817, Cunningham collected more than 300 different species, one of which was Crotalaria cunninghamii. Description of Crotalaria cunninghamii: The green birdflower is a perennial shrub that grows to about 1–3 m in height. The plant's flowers grow on long spikes at the ends of its branches and greatly resembles a bird attached by its beak to the central stalk of the flowerhead. Habitat of Crotalaria cunninghamii: Crotalaria cunninghamii predominantly grows in well drained soils in shrubland and grassland or savannah woodlands, usually on desert dunes, sandplains and drainage lines. It also grows in Mulga communities in arid regions, accounting for 20% of the total land mass of arid Australia. Economic uses of Crotalaria cunninghamii: Crotalaria cunninghamii has some economic purposes and is a good source of fibre used for weaving. It is also a popular ornamental flower and was featured as the in-season flower of the month by the Australian Botanic Gardens and Park Authority in March 2019. Crotalaria cunninghamii's main economic use is as an ornament in houses. Another economic purpose is processing into a fibre to create ropes and fish nets. It has shown potential to be used in commercial agriculture, as it has a symbiotic relationship with bacteria in the soil which forms nodules and traps atmospheric nitrogen in the surrounding soil. It has a large percentage of crude oil and protein that could potentially be of use in producing biofuel or human use natural oils. Medicinal uses of Crotalaria cunninghamii: Crotalaria cunninghamii can provide medicinal support to humans, as the leaves can be used to treat eye infections and the bark can be used to treat swelling of the limbs. The Aboriginal Australians used it as an important medicine for treating swelling and eye infections. Known hazards of Crotalaria cunninghamii: There have been no reports of Crotalaria cunninghamii being toxic to humans, however, human toxicity has been seen in the Crotalaria genus. Many members of the Crotalaria genus are known to contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which have a cumulative effect upon the body and may affect brain function and other organs. Mutagenic and carcinogenic properties of pyrrolizidine alkaloids have also been reported. Abnormal pollinators of Crotalaria cunninghamii: Crotalaria cunninghamii is usually pollinated by birds, but during a period of unusually high rainfall in the Simpson Desert, rodents were observed eating and pollinating the flowers. The rodents observed were the house mouse and sandy inland mouse. The increase in the number of pollinators had a positive effect on the propagation of the species. Crotalaria cunninghamii and Bees: Bees derive their energy from the nectar of Crotalaria cunninghamii and in return they pollinate the plant. When bees feed from one male plant and then go to a female plant, some of the pollen falls into the female plant's stigma. Threats to Survival: Possible threats to Crotalaria cunninghamii include habitat degradation, especially on sandy soils which are easily eroded by rabbits, camels and other grazing animals. Crotalaria cunninghamii has been recognised as an endangered plant in NSW according to the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. A general threat to flowers and plants in Australia is clearing of land for agricultural or other commercial uses. Conservation Status: The conservation status of Crotalaria cunninghamii is least concern. Crotalaria cunninghamii is not at high risk to land clearing for commercial purposes because it is confined to the Australian rangelands, which experience low rainfall and therefore have limited potential for development.

Native wisteria (Hardenbergia comptoniana)

Most local orchids

Pansy orchids (Diuris sp.), cowslip orchids (Caladenia flava), spider orchid (Caladenia sp.), pink fairy orchids (Caladenia latifolia)

Honestly, so many pea flowers

(Best photos I had to hand - ya gal is mostly housebound nowadays (and doesn't drive), plus the first two aren't native where I live now, but where I grew up... well, Geraldton wax also isn't native here, but it's a widespread weed that's native further north. But all my photos except for Moodjar [credited])

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas

Birdflower - Crotalaria Cunninghamii - Fabaceae Family

The Fun Facts

The Birdflower is also known as “Mangarr” by the Nyangumarta people of northwestern coast of Western Australia. They get their name as they look like hummingbirds, and whether what is an evolutionary tactic to protect themselves or just a coincidence is still unknown. These flowers grow from a perennial (a plant that lives for more then two years) shrub and grows 1-3 meters tall. The plant flowers from winter to spring and can grow in many different habitats, from arid and semi-arid zones of Western Australia and northern South Australia to the tropical areas of the Northern Territory and Queensland. Shrublands, grasslands and Savannah woodlands are their favourite habitats as Birdflowers prefer well drained soils. The Birdflower is predominantly bright green in colour with black lines running from the base of the flower to the tip, but can drift towards yellow and have hues of purple and red on the petals.
