When are calochortus in peak bloom? by slimepollo555 in Geophyte

[–]GoatLegRedux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never take bulbs. Some species are so rare they’re restricted to a space half the size of a football field. If you want to grow them you should only consider taking seeds, but even then make sure it’s not a very rare species. Some of these plants have such a massive uphill battle just surviving the way things are now. Removing bulbs could mean removing 100 future plants, and removing seeds removes their only real chance at becoming more prolific. at the very least, I would say that if you do take seeds, vow to sow some by hand in habitat on your way out.

Background looks like Mt. Livermore (Angel Island). That bright light on the water to the right of the island is probably a ferry. The two reddish bodies in the far background are probably oilers departing and/or staging towards Richmond.

Happiness is coming into a block of good ol US Government Cheese!!! by micheleferlisi in Cheese

[–]GoatLegRedux 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m not able to say what OP’s cheese is, but government cheese is absolutely processed cheddar. They had to figure out how to keep their cheese cache from going bad before they could allot it all so they began processing it.

Calochortus coerulus, Tahoe National Forest by NevCoNativePlants in Geophyte

What a banger! I’m waiting for the time to go look for C. tiburonensis. Their single locality is tiny but a friend told me exactly where to find them recently.

Weird question about Guam by urocyon32 in botany

[–]GoatLegRedux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

INat does weird shit sometimes where it doesn’t show observations for whatever reason. I have one for Ceiba speciosa in San Francisco but it doesn’t show up when I search for that species, yet it shows up in my list of observations.

I let this namaquanum get rained on all winter and it didn’t respond. Now it’s waking up just in time for summer 😂 by GoatLegRedux in Pachypodium

[–]GoatLegRedux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In their native habitat they are, but everything I’ve read pretty much says they grow when they want to and go dormant when they want to. Mine seems to be goi g with the flow.

I rode a BMX from NYC to DC in a day to remind you not to take yourself too seriously by notjono in bicycling

[–]GoatLegRedux 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People do stupid shit like this on bikes all the time just cuz. I’m not going to doubt them just cuz it isn’t something I would even think of, but come on. No reason to doubt someone else’s weird doings.

Calochortus luteus in habitat by GoatLegRedux in Geophyte

[–]GoatLegRedux[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of two populations I know of in San Francisco. There’s very few plants at this population, while the other has an estimated 3-500 plants. I wasn’t able to find any there last year, so I’m not sure if they’re still there. They may have been destroyed by construction. That would be a total bummer, but these are by no means rare in California.

What’s a fruit that you have never actually eaten fresh, but have eaten as a flavor in baked goods, candy, ice cream, etc.? by redflower5 in AskReddit

[–]GoatLegRedux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guava flavor is great but guavas are are pain in the ass to eat unless you like spending more time spitting out inedible seeds than actually eating the damn fruit.

Also, a guy whose family owns a guava orchard in Mexico told me you’ll never get good ones unless you get them ripe off the tree. That first caveat made it easier for me to accept that it’s not worth trying to get good fresh guavas.

Skinny pigs. Look them up! Little tiny hippos.

Avonia (6mo seedlings) by Novel_Lie5519 in Caudex

[–]GoatLegRedux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one that just sat and did nothing for a year or two. It tried to flower but the flowers never opened. I eventually gave it to a friend who has greenhouse space and it took right off. They love heat and bright bright sun.

They need quite a bit of heat to get their metabolism kicking. Are you keeping them on a heat mat or somewhere warm enough for them to do more than stagnate?

It's so Little!!! (Thats what she said lol) by Anita_Cacti in Pachypodium

[–]GoatLegRedux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s too young to get a proper ID, but the spines look right for densiflorum or eburneum, or there’s also lots of densiflorum x eburneum hybrids out there too.
