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.

Okay, so... Who was going to tell me that Dragon Fruit comes from a species of South American cactus? #smaugust #dragon #food #sciart #plant #art #digitalart #science #botany

Painterly, cel-shaded digital art of a dragonfruit, or pitaya, tree planted into an isometric 'chunk' of earth. The tree is made of long, thick, waxy cactus pads with no spines, its trunk also cloaked with pads growing out of the earth. The dragonfruits are hot pink with leafy green bits at their top end. This tree simply cannot keep up with how many fruits it's producing so some are already falling off onto the ground and off the chunk of earth. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

In the tropics & subtropics, drought-deciduous flowering trees are especially showy because they flower before the leaves emerge, i.e., they are protoanthous. Here’s Jacaranda mimosifolia. 📷: John CCBYSA2 #protoanthy #Bignoniaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

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

Literature on summer-dormant geophytes is muddled. Some summer-dormant geophytes that flower in autumn are better classified as protoanthous, but this spring-flowering Haemanthus pubescens ssp. arenicola is hysteranthous. 📷: Karel du Toit CCBYNC4 #Amaryllidaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
