#creeping woodsorrel

[lazyevaluationranch]

23/03 Creeping woodsorrel in the dome. Pretty much every greenhouse has it. We thought we'd been lucky so far - we received a plant with a woodsorrel stowaway and immediately fed the woodsorrel to the chickens, but alas, here it is, springing up from the ground itself.

Reasons every greenhouse gets creeping woodsorrel eventually, and can't eliminate it:

Batteries: If you leave any tiny root splinter in the ground, it holds enough energy to regrow the whole plant. (An unknown species of woodsorrel was domesticated into the root crop oca, granting that energy to humans. I'm sure this is fine).

Detonators: The seed pods build up water pressure in their tissues and actually explode, ejecting seeds in ballistic arcs around your greenhouse. So it sprouts very far away from wherever you last saw it.

Wires: creeping woodsorrel accumulates copper in its stems, which run for long distances along the ground and sprout roots wherever they touch down. Historically, picking woodsorrel and grinding it up has been a practical way to locate underground copper deposits.

I don't know what kind of Ineffable Device the creeping woodsorrel infesting every greenhouse in the world is intent on forming, but our dome is part of it now.

My twin flowers are... ? Reaching for the stars? 🤭 I don't know why the petals are suddenly standing upright. Google doesn't seem to have an answer and PictureThis deems it healthy so I'm not gonna worry. Just curious and quite amused! I'll be deadheading these four blossoms in a couple days for tea, since I'm bringing them over to my sister's for a couple weeks anyway and I don't wanna shock them too much. There are plenty of new buds forming already, so I'll have new blooms soon enough!

My creeping woodsorrel meanwhile is very happily growing in its tiny makeshift home 🤭 It's still too babie to properly transplant into its own pot but considering how fast it grows I hope this is enough for the next two weeks. We shall see!

salad idea: spinach, mint, creeping woodsorrel, strawberry, balsamic glaze, chopped pecans, feta cheese

This latest refutation of creationism is an example of observable evolution occurring in recent history. It shows how a species will evolve according to local environmental conditions. The definition of biological evolution is of course, changes in allele frequencies in a population over time, and need not include a phenotypic change at all. In this case though the change is the observed change in the leaf-colour of a species of plant, the creeping woodsorrel, Oxalis corniculata. The traditional response by creationists to these examples is to try to get away with a different definition of biological evolution to include changes that biologists don't claim ever happen, such as an entirely new taxon arising in a single event, or one taxon changing into another, unrelated taxon. It matters not one iota to a creationists that they may have been corrected on this point numerous times, it's almost impossible to shift them away from their protective shell of pretending science makes claims science never makes and the definition of biological evolution is something so absurd that no sane person could accept it.

When I scanned my plant life, I decided to learn more about these three plants in my artwork.

1.Creeping Yellow Woodsorrel(my clovers): With this plant, I learned that Native Americans have a history of using it for mouth sores, eye issues, nausea, urinary infections, and fevers.- Source: HealthyGreenSavy 2.Rose of Sharon(the purple flowers): I learned that I could crush the petals up and use them as natural conditioner in my hair. It can reduce dandruff and even darken your hair.-Source: Farm Homestead 3.Sugar Maple Leaf(the red leaf): I learned that scientists recently discovered that this leaf could repress elastase activity, just like botox, and it reduces inflammation on the skin.-Source: Insider

I found a volunteer creeping woodsorrel in my lemon thyme!  How charming: two lemony edible plants in the same container.

We have baby blooms! 🌼🌼

First twin buds on my calendula have been slowly opening up over the past couple days. It's past 8pm right now. I'm thinking they might fully bloom by morning and I'm so excited!! They're already so pretty like this 🥰🥰✨

Meanwhile, my creeping woodsorrel sprouted up its second leaf stem which might also fully open tomorrow! It still excites me whenever I think about how I spotted this growing out of my outdoor calendula pot.

I've been looking at possible choices to buy as houseplants next month and I did have an oxalis in my list. I mean sure I was looking at the red triangular oxalis, but the heart shaped leaves on this one is just.. well it's going straight to my heart and winning it over 🥰🥰
