  1. Un ragondin parmi des pneumatophores d'un cyprès chauve à Parc Borély, Marseille, France. A nutria among the breath roots of a bald cypress. The main tree is not drawn. I am unsure if the branches belong to other trees. #drawing #pleinair #baldcypress #mastoart

  2. For #ThickTrunkTuesday I offer an unusual species. The first photo shows a large #Palmetto #Palm and two smaller specimens growing among #BaldCypress trees at Burden Museum & Gardens in #BatonRouge #Louisiana. The second shows the pond habit where these were growing. Some palms are visible on the shore. These are rather large and thick examples of Palmettos. I took these pictures Sunday while hiking on the trail system there.

    If you have a very wet area, this #NativePlant can be trained into a curtain for #Unique privacy.

  4. I thought I’d post something a little different for #ThickTrunkTuesday! This magnificent #bonsai is a #BaldCypress Tree (Taxodium distichum). This water-loving conifer is appropriately enough the State Tree of #Louisiana. This miniature specimen was on exhibit at the Louisiana Bonsai Society Show at Independence Park Gardens in #BatonRouge in November 2016.

    Just beyond the gazing ball is #VirginiaSweetspire or #Itea, a native.

    Pink #Dahlia is on the bottom left.

    Summer phlox is about to start soon; blooming is delayed due to deer grazing.

    There is a hellebore, and cally lillies are near the dahlia. #BaldCypress branches dangle above.

    An explosion of color is about to occur in this area. #StayTuned

  6. The white flowing shrub behind the #LinderaBenzoin is a white #RoseofSharon #Hibiscus which is not native. There is a still small deodar cedar somewhere on this side of the pergola. Just to the right is a 30 foot #BaldCypress.

    Behind the pergola is a #JapaneseMaple.

  7. Today’s photo features two different insects. The delicate white flowers in front of the #Monarch butterfly are actually cypress flower gall midges (Taxodiomyia cupressi). Female midges lay their eggs on newly developing cypress needles, and their maggots feed and cause the needle to form a small, white, flower-like gall inside of which the maggot develops. I think these galls are quite lovely and see them on several of the young #BaldCypress trees in my yard.
