Hairpin Banksia (Banksia spinulosa), is native to the east coast of Australia, from Victoria up to Cairns and grows from the coastline into forest areas of the Great Dividing Range. In coastal areas of it is often dwarfed but in the mountains it is often taller and more upright. The "big bad" Banksia Men (modelled after the tree’s mature cones) are the villains of the story, Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, by May Gibbs. At our dog show grounds it’s growing under many of the gum trees, usually on the shaded south side. I’ve got somell try taking a cuttings and also some seedpods to try and propagate. The seedpods open after a fire. I think it will make a good bonsai and also because Australian native birds love them. N.B. Ted approves this post. 😁🐾 #flower #banksia #banksiaspinulosa #australian #australiannative #hairpinbanksia #mygarden #orange #myplants #homegrown #australiangardens #australiangarden #fireadapted #native #bush #green #ausnative #australia #oldmanbanksia #havanese #showdog (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdAhR6VveHl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"when were you going to tell me?" // @fireadapt​

     “lose the face, buck.” buck has serious puppy dog eyes that rival a kid’s. howie sighs. “it was a harmless bet, dude. the whole thing about a bet is that person it’s about isn’t in the know. so, uh, i guess never?”

          💸 ║ ❛  ────────    What  a  QUESTION !  This  guy  really  has  the  audacity  to  show  up  in  front  of  his  club  like  THAT  and  ask  a  ridiculous  question  like  THIS .  Lance  did  have  a  couple  shots  before,  sure.  But  it’s  only  natural.  And  yes,  Buck  found  him  lying  on  the  floor,  but  that  doesn’t  necessarily  mean  he’s  DRUNK,  right ?  Everyone  has  a  bad  day.  Everyone  trips  over  their  own  feet  every  now  and  then.  Doesn’t  mean  anything,  at  least  not  to  Lance.  Struggling  to  get  back  up  again  at  first,  he  takes  his  time  to  find  a  secure  spot  to  hold  on  to.  The  walls  will  do. 

          ❝     I am  OUT  OF  LUCK.  But  not  drunk.  I  ain’t  that  weak.    ❞   he  says  as  he’s  slowly  pulling  himself  back  up  on  his  feet,  leaning  against  the  wall  to  not  fall  over  again.  His  vision  seems  a  little  bit  clearer  now  that  he  focuses  on  the  person  standing  in  front  of  him.    ❝     Oh,  it’s  you,  bombero  !  You  look  kinda  DIFFERENT ... or ...  --it  is  you,  right ?    ❞

      CONCERN SWEEPS OVER HIS BROW AS BOBBY POKES THROUGH HIS LOCKER.  BUCK IS ABNORMALLY QUIET.  HE TRIES TO FILE THROUGH THEIR     most recent calls to see if there is    ANYTHING   that might stand out as to why the kid is acting so reserved.

       fingers push metal and bobby takes a step back.  “alright buck, what’s up?”  he starts out casual, making conversation light.  the captain can do serious, but sometimes you need lighter and casual conversation to get the ball rolling.                                                                               @fireadapt​  /  starter call   !

Response to Climate Change:

Northern migration

Optimal precipitation, lack of plant competition, and occasional fires will enhance the survival rates of black oaks in some areas

Climate adaption applications:

The black oaks variety of tolerances (drought, fire etc.) make it a suitable tree to help adapt communities to climate impacts.

Climate adaption rank: 5

🙌🙌🙌

send me 🙌 and i’ll compliment a mutual!

@fireadapt i love how lisa adds something to almost every gifset/musings post. sometimes it’s just something silly about buck, sometimes it’s something really deep that just hits ya in the feels. i love how much i learn about their buck!

@leadfire  lenore’s writing is a thrill to read! subtly mentioning brooke and junior killed me when i read our thread with eddie this monring. i also loved the hc about bobby loving reality tv. please keep them coming!

@mtchstck alex’s humor is unmatched! humor can be such a hard thing to nail, especially over writing, but it always lands. thanks for making me laugh!

THE  MORNING  AFTER  /  accepting.

      💸 ║ ❛  ────────  THOSE  WORDS  RIGHT  THERE,  THEY  COULD  MEAN  ANYTHING.  And  Lance  isn’t  too  good  at  analyzing,  especially  not  after  he  just  woke  up.  Right  after  these  words  leave  Buck’s  mouth,  he  gets  up  to  sit  on  the  edge  of  the  bed.  Lance,  still  lying  CARELESSLY  on  his  back,  takes  this  short  moment  to  THINK  about  what  to  say.  ------------------Is  it  time  for  some  ENCOURAGING  words?  Maybe,  but  he  certainly  doesn’t  have  them.   A  soft  sigh  escapes  his  mouth  before  finally  breaking  the  silence  between  them.  There’s  no  AWKWARDNESS  involved,  at  least  not  the  way  Lance  is  feeling.  But  Buck  seems  to  get  a  little  more  stressed  about  things  like  these.  It’s  a  little  HARD  TO  HANDLE.

      ❝ Take  it  easy,  amante.  If  I’d  known  you’d  get  so  WORKED  UP  about  this,  I  wouldn’t  have  taken  you  home  with  me  last  night. ❞   he  snickers  as  he  grabs  his  phone  from  the  nightstand.  AS  EXPECTED,  --------------------there’s  no  statement  following  after  this.  It’s  not  like  Lance  has  REGRETS,  but  they  can  easily  build  up  when  people  won’t  let  him  know  what’s  going  on.  Eyes  still  focused  on  the  screen  of  his  phone,  he  decides  to  dig  a  little.  ❝ Alright,  what  is  it?  ---------------You  got  a  BOYFRIEND  at  home? ❞

         the day is a great day.   in   fact,   today   is   one   of   bobby’s   favorite   holidays.   fourth   of   july.   a   chance   for   american’s   to   celebrate   their   independence   and   remember   why   they   came   here  in  the  first  place.   FREEDOM.   and   while   it   may   be   bobby’s   favorite   holiday   and   he   wishes   he   could   spend   it   with   athena   and   the   kids,   the   streets   of   LA   need   to   be   monitored.   TO   BE   KEPT   SAFE.   there   is   nothing   like   happy   and   drunk   people   shooting   off   illegal   fireworks.   the   day   is   going   to   be   packed   and   bobby   looks   forward   to   it.
