Spring survey: Boulder County edition. Mullein (Verbascum thapsus), thistle (ouch), prairie sunflower, and fleabane doing their thing. Pollinators rejoice, hikers sneeze. Nature’s annual rollout is right on schedule. #wildflowers #boulderbotany #pollenparty

A tall, fuzzy stalk of mullein blooms with soft yellow flowers in the Colorado prairie. The plant stands upright against a backdrop of grassy fields and distant mountain ridges beneath a partly cloudy sky.

A vibrant purple musk thistle flower bursts open, surrounded by spiny green buds and stems. The gravel path and golden foothills of Colorado stretch into the distance under a summer sky with scattered clouds.

A breezy cluster of delicate fleabane daisies with pale purple petals and yellow centers dances in the wind. The wildflowers sway gently in a field beneath a deep blue sky dotted with soft, wispy clouds.

A single prairie sunflower radiates golden yellow petals around a dark central disk. It rises from fuzzy green leaves against an open field with the Rocky Mountains faintly visible on the horizon.

In bloom Stockholm 250429: One of my absolute favourites - Myosotis sylvatica (Skogsförgätmigej). Mixed feelings; delighted as botany is my joie de vivre but also concerning, its too early, its not even may, climate change make spring arrive earlier and earlier. #tinyflowerstuesday #flowerreport

James Cook

Captain James Cook was a British explorer, cartographer, and naval officer famous for his three voyages between 1768 and 1779 to the Pacific and Southern Oceans. He completed the first recorded circumnavigation of the main islands of New Zealand and was the first known European to visit the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands.

I think Masa would go for 3. With his background in botany/mining would come at least a bit of capability in crafting, and having grown up in a close-knit community would make him want to help people thrive in a similar way as well. He is not as suited for war-zone situations as Tarin may be.

#Cornus capitata, the Strawberry #Dogwood. Native to many places in Asia, and an uncommon landscaping plant in the US. I have yet to try this edible fruit, but I have heard it is bitter. #plants #botany #fruit #strangefruit #trees #naturalist 🌿

The fruit starts green and slowly fades into yellow, and eventually red as it ripens. Strange geometrical cell patterns adorn the outside, giving this fruit a mysterious appearance.

How does photosynthesis respond to changing temperatures? In the paper led by Pascal Schneider, we show that the thermal acclimation of photosynthesis can be modelled without making assumptions about plant functional types - ready for adoption in ESMs agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
