#bracts — Public Fediverse posts

carrot? somehow, I doubt^W didn't want to believe it 😀 but I've since learned that the #bracts are characteristic.

although one could rightfully expect car rot (#pun!) on a parking lot 🤔

might try to sniff it when I go there again (hope it's safe to touch)

So here's the expensive, disease-resistant, red-bracted dogwood (Cornus kousa 'Scarlet Fire') I planted this spring. The nursery guy said the leaf chlorosis is due to lack of micronutrients so we'll see whether it snaps back after a few drenches of those. Fingers crossed. #dogwood #cornus #bracts #disease #rutgers #trees #fertilizer #leaves

My neighbor's dogwood after some rain. The red structures are bracts, leaves modified to function as petals for the drab inflorescence within. #dogwood #flowers #trees #petals #bracts #botany #rain #water #cornus #pollination
