Dianthus deltoides (mander.xyz)
It’s reblooming.
What is that plant?
My girlfriend planted sunflowers in that pot but something else started growing. We can’t identify it. Can you help?https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/32e9c192-1a2c-4a07-b57d-cbc9aba22749.jpeg

Hi - I just like plants. These are from my local botanical garden! (sh.itjust.works)
What would a lone botanist be doing in the woods?
Hey there! I’m writing a screenplay where the main character is a botanist and is camping out in the woods. Only problem is, I have no idea exactly what a botanist would be doing in the woods. I want to make the character realistic and would like for them to be doing something that a real botanist would do instead of me just...
Feeling blessed - my dieffenbachia has bloomed! (sh.itjust.works)
Gazanias are my fav flower. My garden always has gazanias. I like the silkiness of this one. (lemmy.world)

Taken at the Desert Botanical Gardens parking lot in April. The heat that day was stifling yet so was the beauty of my surroundings!...

Reed (juncus) roots (lemmy.ml)
This plant works hard to clean the water I keep out for wildlife. This one grabbed up so much nitrogen/phosphorus that it got pot bound in one year. I split it in half so each half has twice as much room to grow this year.
City trees and edges impacts on carbon storage (www.sciencedaily.com)
tldr: urban woodland edges around Boston are accumulating carbon faster than expected because the soil microbiome is less functional than in more rural systems. How long that will work as a C sink is unknown.
Plants in bloom - large flowered collomia (lemmy.ml)
The large flowered collomia (Collomia grandiflora) is just starting to bloom around me. They are annual and have cool blue pollen (typically pollen is yellow). You can see the pollen on the anthers at the center of each flower....
Plants in bloom - Meadow-foam (lemmy.ml)
This one is meadow-foam (Limnanthes douglasii). It's annual that is native to prairies of the west coast of North America. Smells great, looks cool, and bugs like it. Comercially, similar plants are grown for the oil from their seeds. The seeds off this one will just fall where they want to sprout up in spring of '22.
What are you excited about today? (lemmy.ml)
For me it is my phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia) blooming. I throw some seed down wherever I don't have other plans because the bugs love the flowers? What have you got going?
