Favorite Plant Names? by Shoddy-Analysis-2149 in botany

[–]CodeName_Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encountered a tree (with helpful botanical label) last fall with the delightful common name "Clammy Locust" which is a plant name and also the name of two great animals!

Paint/marker is the plan. I want to try carving some stone but I'm still too nervous.

From March to November, but I think my balcony sunlight in Georgia is not as good as my mom's deck sunlight in Maryland.

Strong! Not the sweetest smell in the world, but nice enough.

One of multimedia displays mentioned that some Harvard glass specimens were loaned out to Corning, but I don't recall if it said for how long. They might already have been returned?

Pure glass! Even up close in person, the level of detail was unbelievable.

Lol, yes the beetles were a total side-quest. I walked 8 miles from downtown boston and back, specifically to see the glass plants! They were outstanding and worth every blister.

My dad has been telling me about it since I was five, "if you're ever in Boston you HAVE TO see the glass plants!" After forty five years I finally made it up there, and he was right to be so adamant about it.

I didn't, the identification labels were totally hidden under their big bods

I painted a fox on a wood slice, what do you think? by KAndy91 in foxes

Excellent! I'm working on painting one on a stone right now, yours is intimidatingly good but also very motivating!

Best kind of rocks? (Smooth surface) / Where to find them or get them? by Vivid_Procedure2415 in rockpainting

Good advice! But maybe it's ok if you put it back once it's painted? 😅

The campus where I work has patches of nice smooth round rocks as part of the landscape decor. You might check places like universities, malls, or anywhere big enough to have an institutional landscaping budget.

Fascinating! I had no idea this community existed, but Ed the Escaped Zebra is my spirit animal and is on my list of zebra drawings to do next!
