One of my favourite #Newfoundland, (Canada) wildflowers…Sheep Laurel. Photo from 2 summers ago. Each flower is about 1cm in diameter. #flower #wildflower #plants #botany

Photo of a large cluster of deep pink sheep laurel flowers. Each flower(of perhaps 100+ in the photo) looks like a tiny parasol. Most of the photo is pink (the flowers) with small amount of green leaves (long, thin) showing through.

These plants also harvest dew, which condenses out of moist air. Edges and hairs make especially good foci for condensation as they radiate heat & cool faster. This species is from Namaqualand, in southern Africa. 📷: Dipcadi crispum Karel du Toit CCBYNC4 #Asparagaceae #fog #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

The world’s tallest tree sp. is a fog collector! Sequoia sempervirens gets a significant part of its water budget from the fog that blankets the coastal redwood forest at night. It absorbs fog with its needles & dripping H20 with its roots. 📷: Theo Crazzolara CCBY2 #Cupressaceae #fog #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Photo in the forest of redwood trees enveloped by fog. Only the trunks and silhouettes of the branches are visible. Ferns are visible in the foreground.

Trees are so important to the balance of nature. Even in death, they support countless new lives of plants, animals and fungi. #plants #botany #nature #photography

Meadow Pipits feeding on the Saltmarsh plants at Teesmouth - can anyone recommend a book or website on saltmarsh ecology and how plants adapt to those conditions? Doesn’t have to be British if it deals with the general principles. (Watercolour painting.) 🪶🐡 @teesbirds.bsky.social #botany

This handsome beast is the larva of the spurge hawkmoth (Hyles euphorbiae) of Europe, Asia & N. America. It feeds on Ephorbia spp., sequestering toxic diterpenes from its host. 📷: Wolfgang Ahlmer CCBY4. #Euphorbiaceae #Aposematism #TeamMoth #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

When we talk about bird pollination (ornithophily) in eastern North America, we’re talking about one species of hummingbird, but western N. America has many more species, including this one, Calypte anna, pollinating Salvia spathacea 📷: Erica Fleniken CCBYNC4 #ornithophily #Salvia #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
