HomesickAlien Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Very cool Sean. Any fiddleheads? I take requests, so I made a note of that. I was posting these in the spam thread but they chased me out —told me to start my own damned thread. The nerve. . . 2
Tombstone Mountain Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Very cool Sean. Any fiddleheads? I take requests, so I made a note of that. I was posting these in the spam thread but they chased me out —told me to start my own damned thread. The nerve. . .sweet. Man in a few weeks black trumpet mushrooms will pop up here along with morels. I'm pumped. Cool stuff dude 1
HomesickAlien Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 Black Trumpets? Fiddleheads? I'll get to those tomorrow —I really will. :ebert:
HomesickAlien Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 17 March 2014Monday It's St. Patrick's Day, and you probably thought we would take a look at some clover plants. Wrong! I would never torture you with something so mundane. Today is dedicated to Welwitschia mirabilis, an oddity native to Angola and Namibia. Individual plants often live more than a thousand years, and produce a single pair of leaves which continue to grow for the life of the plant. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aWUDKMNRXeM/TlcflvcY4aI/AAAAAAAAEuw/iuMc1MbgvSs/s1600/Welwitschia+Mirabilis.jpghttp://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/14690181.jpg 5
