Field journal entry on American pokeweed from a couple of years ago. I painted the berries with actual crushed poke berries, but the color did fade over time.

Fer's observations

This plant somehow knew that some leaves were infected by gall wasps and decided to stop supplying nutrients to them, in the hopes of killing the gall wasp larva inside

We are not entirely sure how the plants know this, but we know they make mistakes sometimes, letting healthy leaves die and keeping alive infected ones, which implies this process is not automatic but it is somehow a decision

Regardless, it's fascinating to be reminded that plants have behaviors, and that they can influence – and by influenced by – their environments

I’m doing a field journal documenting my observations about the species in a naturalish area from now through May, and I got to do a crayon rubbing of an oak leaf a few days ago

It took a few tries to get one with minimal shifting, but I’m proud of this one

After looking at it again I’m feeling a fiendish urge to do crayon rubbings of more leaves

Some plants from my walk the other day. 🌱

[1ore]

before i went to bed last night, i was a cocktail of ambient stress and black humor about the state of the world, and i was like. man. let me stress dream a sign or something to interpret so that my pattern-seeking brain has something to dissect that isn't itself.

anyway, i had a dream that i was a nervous little botanist man working in the rockies to recover a tree called Acyl pentatonic, and its more obscure relative Acyl fentanic, which was mysteriously disappearing despite aggressive forest restoration efforts. they were identical except that A. pentatonic typically had 5 petals to a flower, and A. fentanic had 7, and for some reason the flowers had parallel veins like a monocot leaf, but this did not bother me in the dream. and i guess the pollen grains were different under a microscope and there was speculation that they speciated by becoming polyploid, but for some reason nobody would confirm this. anyway, it was dire. The forestry service long suspected that A. fentanic was extinct in the wild, but had preserved seeds to raise in captivity. except it turns out the person who collected them had misidentified them, and they were actually A. pentatonic seeds, because the adults reared from the seeds flowered with 5 petals and not 7. it's chaos. the whole office is screaming and crying and throwing up. we lost A. fentanic we had ONE JOB!!!!!!!!!! im losing my mind. im considering crossing A. pentatonic hybrids to play stupid plant math to recreate the mutation that gave 7 petals, knowing full well it will not be the same.

in the pits of despair i stumble across a forest fragment with what appears to be an A. pentatonic sapling growing in the sunlight. this strikes me as odd because they're supposed to be shade-growing trees. it has flowers, and would you know it, they have 7 petals. unspeakable euphoria. apparently A. fentanic wasn't a genetically separate species, but a phenotypical variant that only appears in saplings reared in full sun. occasionally they would flower with 7 petals instead of 5. the reason they had become obscure to the point of functionally "extinct" is because nobody had logged here for years. nevermind that this doesn't make any sense.

so like... there's your sign, i guess.
