Can we get a #WhatIsThisPlant hashtag going on Mastodon? It was one of my favorite joys of #Reddit, it hooked me into ecology and botany in very material and direct ways.
Saw that the puya alpestris were blooming at the botanical gardens and immediately made plans to go this morning!! The color looks unreal, but these are unedited phone photos. I am very excited to see how the photos I took with my camera turned out. I don't think I've ever seen any other teal flowers, although I'd love to hear about them if they exist! #florespondence#bloomscrolling
Just got back from a trip to the mountains for a few days and realised I have quite a backlog of photos to go through. So here's a whole bunch of red things. It feels like a red day today...
Inspired from the beautiful yellow coneflowers in my garden I painted this summer garden painting a few years ago. These flowers delight my heart every summer.
This painting is a detail from my watercolour painting Another yellow rose. The original painting was painted in landscape format. Here I have chosen a detail in square format.
