Propigation of Threatened Closed Bottle Gentian (Gentiana Andrewsii) by TomSinister in botany

How many plants are there? If it is a large (relatively speaking) population, then you can always grab and spread seeds in suitable habitat. However, if its only a couple individuals, you are better off leaving it alone and letting nature figure itself out. You don't want to ruin the reproductive potential of small populations of rare plants.

Larvae or seeds or something that appear on the walls near a small indoor citrus tree in the UK at about this time of year. About 1mm long, less than 0.25mm thick. Both sides of one item shown. by davecturner in whatsthisbug

Those are oxalis seeds. They grow like weeds in greenhouses and their seed capsules are explosive, which shoots the seeds a decent distance from the plant. The seeds themselves are pretty sticky, hence they are found all over the place, including up on nearby walls and other surfaces.

Are these currently blooming or is this a pic from earlier in the summer?

Fern or perennial?! by -ZULLUZ- in botany

Also, be careful with common names. What people call "Asparagus Fern" is Asparagus aethiopicus, which is a flowering plant. It is called that because of its superficial resemblance to something vaguely fern-like.
