#plantourage

[arrozaurus]

there is a world out there, and none of anything will you experience

[arrozaurus]

to find terebinthus (P. terebinthus) at a walking distance from my town is incredible, theyre indicators of ecological recovery or low human intervention

[arrozaurus]

its been a while since ive done a plantourage post but i got a whole greenhouse now

[arrozaurus]

the stonks

[arrozaurus]

getting germinating rates of 100% EASILY with these arbutus unedo seeds

[arrozaurus]

rosemary finally germinating after two months lmao

viola sp, romulus bulbicodium and allium sp are germinating too

[arrozaurus]

found lots of these bulbs buried when we went to clean up the greenhouse, seems like mice love them

[arrozaurus]

for some reason i convinced myself this was oregano. i never checked it up i just assumed it must be. but yesterday i was working with my seeds and investigated a little bit to identify some of them and i stumbled upon the inevitable fact that the seeds i had planted and the oregano seeds look actually completely different lmao. anyway say hello to the melissa officinalis babies

bebones

[arrozaurus]

i cannot believe these are the same plants like four months apart

[arrozaurus]

this year i hope i can get seeds from amelanchier, fragula, malus sylvestris, mespilus germanica, pyrus communis L., rubus idaeus, sorbus aria, sorbus domestica, sorbus torminalis, rubia, celtis australis, smilax aspera, pistacia lentiscus...

why am i doing this

[arrozaurus]

i dont think that if i introduce A. hippocastanum here it can become invasive, and i base myself on these guesses:

it is a slow growing species with a prolonged juvenile state

some paleobiological analysis indicate that this genus used to be present all over Europe and north Africa

the seed is very liked by wildlife like deer and boars

genetically this species is very vulnerable and theres likely no enough diversity to create a stable population

this genus needs a lot of water to prosper and mostly grows in ravines or in places with continuous flow of water

im not sure why i picked up aesculus hippocastanum seeds, what will i do with these? theyre actually germinating now aknfjfkf
