I tried to introduce someone in work to Mastodon. They asked if there were any plant based instances. Focused on gardening and horticulture. I honestly don't know where to go to find out if there are such instances. Any help people could give to find such an instance would be greatly appriciated.

King's Crown 👑 also known as Western roseroot or ledge stonecrop. It grows in western US and Canada at high elevation. It's also good for rock gardens. Fun little plant with clusters of flowers. Only grows to a foot high.

In other news, new microns are a dream to draw with.
