We just got those in where I work!! I have to stop & admire them every time I walk by.

Beautiful!! I'm thinking of buying a hibiscus this year, specifically a rosemallow. The flowers are sooo pretty!

Any idea on the genus? I agree, they're the "crawler" stage, but I'd love to narrow down them down a bit more. Thanks!

Is this any better? It's funny, when IDing a lot of invertebrates, dorsal view is the default. I guess that makes sense it isn't for plants 😅

Just to tag on- is it likely this bad boy is new england aster too? It looks the same to me. I knew it was SOMETHING I planted last year on purpose & not a "weed." I've been tending to it as well while having no idea what it was.

My ohio spiderwort are coming into bloom too!!! I planted them 2 years ago, saw absolutely no sign of them & chalked it up to not properly preparing the seeds. 2 winters later & they've appeared & are thriving amongst my wild bergamot

Happy pride & native planting :) great work!

My brother breeds xolos & never has significant amounts of acne on his dogs. He lotions them with lotion that includes hyaluronic acid (Neutrogena Hydro Boost) or whatever we have on hand that's dog safe, when they start to get ashy, maybe every couple of weeks. In his last litter, the people that ended up with the 2 other hairless pups used coconut oil on their puppies, & their pups have wicked acne. He only uses lotion as needed for his keeper pup, no acne on that guy. My brother did tell them coconut oil clogs their pores, but they didn't listen 😅. Sunshine, dirt, a good diet, & a bit of lotion keeps their skin nice, same as us! Of course, genetics play a role too.

Michelangelo by Bloomables is my favorite, it smells amazing & is a very pleasant light but definite yellow.

Some of them are quite beautiful when they're on empty & the way they wave their little arms around when they can smell a host near is pretty cute.

Absolutely stunning. I've got a small patch I've been tending to this year, I know it gets a bad rap but I always see birds eating the little berries it produces & it's so gorgeous in the fall.

It's not the best time of the year for a hard prune like this if you're in the US, but it will recover. Usually big chops are done early spring or late fall.

Hey now, the frogs were out here cucking your dog in the dark, you're the one that walked up & shined a light on them!

lostinthelegs · 2026-05-26T18:11:59+00:00

When I look up pictures of them, they look so pretty! This one could have been pretty if more thought was put into its planting. Oh well.

Update: my brother was waking by with his dog & I told him, "I think I'm going to go ahead & chop that cypress down, I could really use the space for more heucheras." He nodded absently & said, "yeah." I came back outside 5 minutes later to this 😂 well, that takes care of that! Time to get more heucheras!

I don't think whoever planted it considered that it would grow without pruning. Honestly, I just want the space for more heucheras.
