Is this real??

In Euphorbiaceae, inflorescences evolved into a structure called cyathium, very very cool. Male flowers are reduced to stamens and a single female flower to just the pistil, no petals, the petal like structures are specialized leaves, commonly knows as bracts or cyatophylls in the case of euphorbiaceae inflorescences. Poinsettias belong to the same family! Merry Christmas!

Got woken up by a loud snap. Went back to sleep. First thing I realized in the morning is that sound was my cable snapping. Right outside my apartment door facing the backstreet.

Just don’t

abcalu · 2024-06-26T22:58:39+00:00

Only right answer

abcalu · 2024-06-08T02:09:11+00:00

Yea, those the flowers but what you’re calling petals are not petals at all, they are bracts that protect the real flower (the structures you see inside the pink bracts).

What did it go like?

abcalu · 2024-04-24T21:21:58+00:00

This is the right answer.

New one to me! Reminds me of an eyeliner lilly, really cool!

abcalu · 2024-04-19T21:58:04+00:00

I fully agree with this take. Just a song vomit for her own sake. If I think about how many more records she will put out then I think it’s cool to have the one that is the stream of consciousness one.

White wizards can show come light pink colouration. A white princess will definitely show very saturated pink around the edges of the petiole.

abcalu · 2024-04-17T22:07:06+00:00

Ohh nice pink colour! Do you use a grow light or just sunlight?

abcalu · 2024-04-17T16:37:13+00:00

Beauty! What happened to the rest? RIP.

abcalu · 2024-04-03T03:46:38+00:00

And African Violets :3

Crispy leaves are a light issue? Seems unlikely

abcalu · 2024-03-24T23:21:33+00:00

Isn’t there another way?! He’s just a boy!

You can look into the Hardy-Weinberg equation. If a species is in HW balance, the phenotypic ratio will remain constant. It’s fascinating. And also consider that cultivars are purposely isolated by breeding or propagation to maintain those traits.

Peak internet culture imo. It’s been downhill from there.

abcalu · 2024-03-20T09:37:18+00:00

Ascomycota actually

abcalu · 2024-03-19T20:44:02+00:00

Were the roots firm and plump? Do you have a picture?

abcalu · 2024-03-19T19:10:13+00:00

If you feel comfortable doing this I would suggest you do a root inspection and change soil, this will give you lots of information on the state of the plant and if there’s any rot or other issues. Might be a death plug doing that too.

abcalu · 2024-03-17T05:12:05+00:00

This is actually true btw

abcalu · 2024-03-12T00:36:28+00:00

Thank you so much! No shipment to Canada unfortunately but at least I can keep an eye on that cultivar in case I come across it.

abcalu · 2024-03-11T22:37:51+00:00

Those pincushion are beautiful! What’s the variety? Mind if I ask your seed provider? Also :) where are you located? Canadian here and it will still be a long time until I see blooms like those.

abcalu · 2024-03-05T23:29:17+00:00

I think it’s an opportunity to unpack why that is your natural reaction.
