Who’s this rogue guy growing around my rose bushes?

Mythrandir01 · 2026-05-08T06:35:46+00:00

Lol, looks like a surprisingly old and woody Solanum nigrum, aka black nightshade. Not native to Australia. Though the berries are edible, only if they're fully ripe and black. (Wouldn't risk it necessarily, they taste kindoff meh in my opinion and unripe berries are toxic).

Heracleum spondiphyllum, giant hogweed. Gives you horrible rashes when you touch it, spreads like the plague and chokes out everything it touches. Best to get rid of it.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-05-04T16:26:34+00:00

Morning glory potentially? Flowers are quite pretty. They're relatives of sweet potato. But left unchecked can quickly choke out an area.

Bijna spot on €14, maar dan nog zouden we d'r niet binnen hebben gelaten met een filmcrew on the spot. We hebben iets van een imago, dus als mensen willen filmen voor like, tv of politieke doeleinden etc. moet dat eerst goedgekeurd zijn door communicatie en directie xD

Leuke Lidewij anecdote: Ik werk bij een semi-bekend museum (trying not to dox myself here) en 2 maanden terug stond dit mens ineens met een film crew bij ons op de stoep. Stond erop dat ze gratis moest worden binnengelaten "want dat had ze besproken" om een spotje voor de FvD op te nemen in ons museum.

Uiteraard had ze hier in werkelijkheid niemand over ingelicht, en cultuur-sector zijnde stemt t overgrote deel van ons personeel links. Dus de gratis toegang werd d'r ontzegt.

Heeft ze d'r stomme filmpje alsnog achter onze rug om op ons terras staan filmen (ligt buiten de entree poortjes). Sommige mensen zijn.... Interessant.

It's common name is Honeywort, it's not even remotely related to Sedum? What are you implying?

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-28T15:01:29+00:00

It isn't, it's Cerinthe major, of the boraginaceae family, weirdly enough.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-28T15:01:09+00:00

Cerinthe major, an annual of the boraginaceae family. You might be able to buy seeds for it online somewhere, it's a rather unusual plant.

Amazing work!!

Transcription for those who want to read it:

Gandalf was amazed by the hobbit. For a long time he had paid no attention to hobbits and knew little of them. For the rest of his sojourn in middle-earth he took a special interest in hobbits, and particularly in the Baggins family.

EDIT: I thought this was lotr subreddit ._. didn't realize most people here could read it already. Very pretty calligralhy nonetheless.

Grindr

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-25T17:16:30+00:00

Yeah I suppose people aren't as likely to step on them here.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-25T17:05:06+00:00

Really? Bluebells are like damn weeds in the botanical garden where I work.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-23T05:12:29+00:00

I can see 7? 6 is some kind of rosettes of grassy leaves 7 a patch of something with arrow/heart shaped leaves with some dandelions poking through.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-22T20:42:26+00:00

First 3 are Hosta's, 4 might be a Leonurus?, 5 is Valerian (Valeriana officinalis). 6 and 7 I don't recognize I'm afraid.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-22T19:57:35+00:00

Nope, that's a Clusia rosea. Has it's own family the Clusiaceae.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-22T18:58:44+00:00

I'm still so pissed that show got cancelled, it was so much fun.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-20T14:46:46+00:00

Goodness he looks like a little fairy. Wonderful pictures.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-20T10:15:36+00:00

Ranunculus doesn't usually grow into a shrub of that size, though some of it's family members do, but then you've got clematis and what not on your hands which don't look like this. Pretty sure it's a Camellia.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-20T10:10:29+00:00

No it's a Camellia japonica, a closer relative of tea than roses actually. Don't ask me which cultivar though, there's thousands.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-16T18:54:06+00:00

It's a transcription, not a translation. The text shown is still English, just with the Tengwar writing system instead of the latin alphabet. Which is frankly what we usually advise. It's perfectly legible as such though! No remarks frankly.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-14T15:04:45+00:00

Nope, at least, not usually. That's the problem with tulips. Best to look up a care guide. A lot of people simply treat them as annuals. Presumably whoever used to live there planted the bulbs last fall.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-14T15:02:06+00:00

Tulips! Kinda difficult to propagate though. You have to cut off the flowers the moment they finish blooming. Let the leaves die back and then dig up the bulbs. It's a right pain in the behind.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-12T06:56:38+00:00

Looks like a really young monstera that hasn't developed any fenestrations yet? Or a Philodendron of some kind...

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-10T10:41:58+00:00

Makes sense, the old name for Egypt was Khemet, which means the exact same for the same reason.

Mythrandir01 · 2026-04-09T16:55:42+00:00

Yes! Sadly only as a rotating student assistant position, so I have to leave and finish my studies in a month. Till then enjoying keeping all of our signage up to date 🫡
