I got this baby cactus as a birthday gift to myself 3 years ago. I named her Posey.

Today Posey bloomed 3 flowers, and has 2 more on the way. I'm so proud of my baby.

riding trains is fun because you get to see some of the world's ugliest buildings (windowless warehouse monoliths) and some of the world's most beautiful art (graffiti) all on the same journey

#something something flowers growing out of cracks in the pavement something something #there's also really something special about glimpsing a beautiful thing for a fleeting instant while traveling b/t 40 and 60 mph #i know japanese culture is interested in this but i don't remember what the name for it is #also the fact that the graffiti goes by so fast and the warehouses don't makes me feel a certain way

Whew look at you go! Had a small problem with aphids a lil while back, but after a whole lot of diligence they were banished. Still have some of the damaged leaves visible but look at all the healthy new growth!

You may be trying to take over my desk, but I couldn’t ask for a better art companion. The moss in the planter is happy with the frequent watering and shade, but the impatiens is trying to devoir the terrarium moss now too

My oxalis is thriving still, too. But it has its own space above me and isn’t trying to reach out and say hello as much.

Okay, this has been your semi annual habitat update. Back to painting.

Also, hello new followers! Thank you for liking my art.

#photos #plants #witchy vibes #skulls #rats need hobbies too #gonna plant some violets soon since it’s time #wish my impatiens bby didn’t still have some visible damage signs but i’m overjoyed at all the healthy new growth #more blooms moooore #“Why do you have a whole ass impatiens as a house plant. on your desk no less”#well you see #it's because it started as a grass and moss planter and every single plant from my housemate's parents yard decided to hitchhike #and somehow in all of that a wayward impatiens sprouted #I feel very fortunate for my accidental pet #it's beautiful and requires a lot of tidy-maintenence due to how fast it grows and how it just throws leaves/flowers down #the very second it's done with them #so it gives me something relaxing to take care of that rewards me with a pretty but unintentional desktop companion #plus all my other plants are toxic to cats and have to be kept away from them #this one I can keep without fear #even if it does grow like crazy and wants to be a large plant #I should name it #we've been together for a while now and i've never named it

Recent-ish life pictures and etc.

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that --#1. bright very poofy cloud sky #2. saw these weird bugs on a sidewalk that were clustered in a pile and some of them were sitting butt to butt or something.. I wonder if #that's how they mate?? or maybe just some sortof strange bug fight or something.. interesting little creature party happening #out on the pavement on that day #3. Its kind of hard to see but on the inside of this watermelon there is a slightly lighter formation that sort of looks like a heart shape #4. special breakfast of scrambled eggs. soy sausages. and jarred artichoke heart. with some black coffee and whipped cream + a strawberry #5. ARBY.. fish ...traditional summer treat available only until like september maybe for like a month. but I love them because theyre cheap #lol.. the next closest/cheapest fried fish sort of option that is easily acessible to me is a more upscale fast food place where you can ge #three tiny little chunks of fish maybe the palm of your hand sized for about $17 lol... so 4 arby fried fish chunks for like $5 is good #6. & 7 - very cool sunset colored sort of pink/yellow/orange flower I found growing wild in someone's yard #8. got as a gift from someone who got it for christmas but didn't really want it and asked if I did since everyone knows Im like The Person #Who's Obsessed With Cats out of any group of people.. but I still havent done it lol.. it just sits there gathering dust until I have #the time on top of my 600 other projects. I think it's cool that it's gray so it does look like noodle (my cat)#9. Noodle (the aforementioned gray cat) with fancy lighting behind him #photo diary

RS Aquamarine is still blooming nonstop. It's really unusual to have a violent with blooms this big that also puts out huge clusters of buds and has individual flowers that last a long time. I think it is my favorite violet. I'd better root myself a second because if something happens to it I'm going to be heartbroken. The phone camera isn't doing the colors justice. In real life it's sky blue, not light purple.

#african violet #houseplant #saintpaulia #flowers #gesneriads #i also make about $10 a month from this by selling leaf pairs #which is further incetive to root another one because there's only so many leaves i can take from one plant #this plant is really something because normally I'd have to disbud to get leaves to grow back fast but with this one it's not necessary

In which Shimazaki shows up to Minegishi's apartment after his WD disappearance with nothing but a suitcase and an "I live here now." The following seasons bring way more changes than just the weather.

#shimamine #as always this is with the spirit of 'fuck the artbook -- all my homies are unbearably sad about the artbook' -_-#i wanted the last panel to be minegishis first day of work at the flower shop #idk if the timing works out since confession arc is supposed to be like two months after wd or something crazy #but then again im ignoring canon timelines anyway so adfsgf #i also love headcanons where minegishi is plant-like themself so i figured theyd hate the winter and get too cold easily #i think minegishi would get like ten times more plants #shimazaki keeps coming home to find another one sneakily added to the last available surface #they deny it and clear a new space but pretty soon that'd be taken too...#i never draw backgrounds/rooms so i was very happy it turned out decent 😅#the succulent in the last panel is a cameo of my succulent i named minegishi which proceeded to grow ridiculously fast and i now have #separated pieces into various pots and Those grow just as fast

Reader that dies during childbirth and leaves their precious angel behind with aki… how would it go?

anon.... are you trying to kill me.....

god, aki would be so broken. from the moment he found out the two of you would be starting a family together, he felt the happiest he's ever been in his life. he was preparing to spend the rest of his life with you — he wanted to propose, but in the end, he never got a chance to. once he loses you, in an instant, all of that is ripped away from him.

you're gone, just like that. right when he thought his life with you was just beginning, it's suddenly over. he's not sure who to blame for it. fate? the doctors? he blames himself a bit, too. if he didn't let you go through with it, you'd still be here now.

he feels hurt for a while. he'll always hurt over this. not a day goes by where he won't miss you, where he won't imagine what'd it be like if you were still here beside him. but he isn't going to give up, he's going to take the best care of your child; he'll protect them no matter what, he won't lose them like how he lost you. he can't. not when they've become the most precious thing he has left in his life.

#aki having to explain to your child what happened to you........#aaauuuhhhhhhh #why must we make him hurt #I feel like aki would never find love again either #instead he comes to your grave with flowers on your anniversary or on your birthday or on valentines day #and he just sits and talks with you and tells you about how yours and his child is growing up so fast #collapses. on the floor #ask mags

"Aww, do we have to fight? I don't want to hurt my poor, sweet Raph-- that would be mean! Besides, he would get all pouty when he lost!"

"I don't really want to be fighting you either, but-- wait, wh...Niri! That's more than enough out of you. Let's just hurry and get this over with."

Raphael: Most of his abilities lay in healing, and he is known as one of the best in all of Heaven. Still, another of his major powers lies in sound, similarly to his younger brother, Gabriel. With this, he can debilitate his enemy in many different ways-- messing with coordination and balance, creating shockwaves, temporarily charming his opponents, and all kinds of other things.

Outside of that, he fights with a rapier imbued with divine light, switching between precise strikes with that, and casting close ranged light and water based attack magics. He's also capable of cloaking himself with these two forms of magic to make himself disappear-- healing him at the same time as granting him a period of time to catch his breath and change plans of attack, if necessary.

Nirbhi: Also primarily a healer, with the added bonus of having powers of precognition. Though she really doesn't fight often, when she does, she likes to utilize her abilities in spatial and energy manipulation. Essentially, she likes to open up random voids to control where her opponent is at any given time, as well as help her move about. They can also be used to alter the space around them for various things-- such as changing gravity, air, temperature, the land itself-- but she doesn't use those unless she's actually in a lot of danger, because it has some not-so-nice effects on the realm/area she's occupying when she does that.

Her weapons are sort of like arrows, or short swords, that spend most of their time in the air around her, thanks to her energy manipulation. If they hit an opponent, they'll drain some energy, and once they're "full" (generally about 10 hits) they can release a haze that dulls the senses, causes confusion, and has a mild poisoning effect. Even with all this though, she doesn't have a lot of stamina for fighting, so if a fight goes on too long, she'll slow down significantly.

#[Let's get it started -memes & games-]#(I always find it funny that all three of the angels that are known for being the healers of the family #Raph Eri and Jaari #are that 'I may be a healer BUT-- * cocks gun *' meme #never fails to make me giggle a little bit)#(I also just really like Nirbhi's weapons #They were made from a specific type of flower that grows in Ivasso and Malusso-- the realms she used to be goddess of #though yeah the reason all of her disciples are badass fighters is because even if she's also badass #she just doesn't like to fight for one thing #and runs out of steam fast because a lot of her magic is high cost)

"During an archaeological dig in a desert area north of Jerusalem 40 years ago, a seed was discovered which was determined to be in pristine condition but had obviously seen many a year.

Now, despite falling from its parent 1,000 years ago, it has grown into a mature tree, and botanists examining it believe it may be an extinct species that was used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years—even receiving a nod in the Bible.

Neither Israeli botanists, nor Dr. Sarah Sallon, a physician who founded the Louis L. Borick Natural Medicine Research Center at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem, could determine what species it was from simply from the seed covering. So they did what nature intended—they planted it.

Using a well-documented technique that saw 2,000-year-old date palm fruit pits germinate, Dr. Sallon soaked the seed in hormones, liquid fertilizer, and water, and then planted it in a pot of sterile seed; then waited.

Despite its genetic code being exposed to environmental stressors for over 1,000 years, the seed sprouted after 5 weeks. The shoot was protected by a caplike feature called an operculum. As the shoot grew, the operculum was shed—leaving something for the team to radiocarbon date. It narrowed down the age of the almost 10-centuries-old seed to between the years 993 an 1202.

Fast forward 14 years and the plant has become a 10-foot-tall tree. Dr. Sallon shared images of the tree, its bark, and its leaves with botanists around the world. One expert suggested it belonged to the genus Commiphora, found across the Arabian Peninsula and parts of Africa. A genetic analysis subsequently revealed this was the case, but a perfect match was lacking.

Pictured: The tree, now 14 years old.

Dr. Sallon and her team thought it was an extinct species known from history as Judean Balsam, but the best way to confirm that suspicion would be to have some aromatic traces similar to the resins of the myrrh tree to which it is related. However, no such fragrant compounds were detected.

Instead, the chemical analysis of the leaves identified a group of phytochemicals known as guggulterols which have been observed in a related species called Commiphora wightii that’s known to possess certain cancer-fighting properties in its resin.

A medicinal balm, the origin of which is not known, is mentioned in multiple historical texts including the Bible as ‘tsori,’ and rather than the fragrant Judean Balsam, it’s this tsori that Dr. Sallon and her team believe they have found.

They must wait until the tree, now 14 years old, produces flower or fruit to know for sure if it’s an extinct species, and if so, how to perhaps keep it alive.

Dr. Louise Colville, senior research leader in seed and stress biology at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in London who wasn’t involved in the research, told CNN that it was a major accomplishment to grow a seed that old and possibly lead to a resurrection of this Biblical botanical.

“What’s surprising in this story is it was just a single seed and to be able to have one chance for that to germinate is extremely lucky,” she said.

“Working in a seed bank, seeing the potential for that extreme longevity gives us hope that banking and storing seeds that some at least will survive for very long periods of time.”"

-via Good News Network, October 8, 2024

--

Note: This is such a good demonstration of why seed banks are so important!! They give us such real and massive hope for deextinction and the revival of endangered species.

for some reason the deer keep eating the flowers in our garden even though we are literally surrounded by a moat of 3 different types of berries

#blackberries wineberries black raspberries . just masses of thorns surrounding us. theyre eating our flowers #also the phoebe nest on the front porch light isnt cute anymore theres just a swarm of birdmites crawling around the wall its horrifying #its right next to a door too 😭 im spraying the inside of the door with disinfectant hoping that it will kill any mites trying to get inside #also the phoebes made their nest on the front porch of the house we live in but get mad at us when we are here .#like this is our nest you made a nest on our nest and are mad when we are in our own nest ????????#whatever i hope the baby birds grow up fast and get out of here bc it is just . not a good place for their nest for both of us 😭

i just realized my last post was me seriously considering suicide over a week ago oh god i hope no one thought i actually killed myself--

#SORRY IVE BEEN FEELING TOO BROKEN TO POST.#MY ANNIVERSARY BASICALLY GOT RUINED BY EVERYTHING GOING ON IRL WHAT CAN I SAY #on a nicer note the flowers i got at an easter event on saturday are already sprouting ^_^#the problem is theyre zinnias and theyre supposed to be planted in late april and its only march so theyre a month early..........#i hope they dont grow too fast bc the pot theyre in is tiny #and if they outgrow the pot before the last frost comes in either i have to replant them outside and risk them getting plant hypothermia #or keep them in the small pot and risk them not having enough room to grow #if i knew this before the people at the event planted them for me i wouldve asked to take the seeds home so i can plant them next month :(#WELL i hope theyll pull through either way<3

Blood-Red Trumpet Vine

Blood red trumpet vine provides more lush foliage than bloom. Abundant lush foliage is actually the main asset of blood-red trumpet vine, Distictis buccinatoria, with the sporadic clusters of three inch long tubular flowers blooming as an added benefit during warm weather. Bloom can certainly be impressive when least expected though; and has a sneaky way of getting a late blast of color out…
