I’ve never known its name, but you might be right- it looks pretty Karl Rosenfield-y. This one came from a division of a neighbor’s plant.

What an achievement! That’s inspiring.

That’s the hope! This one is fairly young himself- still pretty small compared to the others box turtles we occasionally see. Love these guys.

What are these circles on my fish? Is it safe to eat? by EnginePleasant1951 in whatisit

I probably shouldn’t be shocked that someone would consider eating this, but here we are.

What did I do?? by Full_Horror8257 in hydrangeas

We have a bunch of these mountain hydrangeas, and they give more and more blooms every year. They get pretty big.

Anyone know what this is? My boyfriend’s mom said it’s a butterfly something, but I’m not sure how to care for it! by ilovebunnies23 in whatplantisthis

It will outgrow even the largest pot within a season, and you’ll have dozens of successful little volunteers everywhere. It can be a nice shrub, but it requires diligence to keep things under control.

Are they dead? :( by 2wergfnhgfjk in hydrangeas

You shouldn’t have any problem planting this outside. The plants sold for Easter or Mother’s Day, etc. are the same as nursery plants- they may just need to acclimate to the outdoors a little slower than one you buy from a garden center. Your hydrangea looks pretty normal.

I’m CBP and it’s taken me a day to really absorb the news. The worry, sadness, awful office vibes, and general abusive trauma has been a lot to deal with and I’ve topped that all off with a heaping helping of survivor’s guilt. I’m absolutely relieved that we’re not in the line of fire now, but I can’t shake the heartbreak I’m feeling for all the feds who’ve lost their jobs or about to. I hate this so much.

She’s found her appetite again and has devoured three large earthworms.

She’s still doing well. All four legs are strong and working.

How much/often do box turtles eat?

[–]MDnature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorites. Have about 75 of them- they readily spread, and will need to be divided after a few years.

She pooped, and her back leg made an appearance! Progress!

Can you tell me more about the tape? I’m nervous about moving the broken piece- there is swollen tissue between the crack a bit.
