  5. Orchid's nutrient theft from #fungi sheds light on photosynthesis-parasitism continuum phys.org/news/2025-02-orchid-n paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

    "When the #orchid Oreorchis patens happens to grow close to rotten wood, it shifts its fungal #symbionts to those that decompose the wood and significantly increases the amount of nutrients it takes from them—without ceasing to employ photosynthesis. As a result, the #plants are bigger and produce more #flowers."

  6. My Christmas cactus blooms at Halloween, so I suppose it's OK for the Mexican to bloom at Thanksgiving.

  10. Time for some blossoms! I don’t know the names of all of these, but here are some tropical plants in their beautiful glory for your enjoyment! #bloomscrolling, #tropicalplants, #mexicanplants, #hibiscus, #orchid, #peacelily, #maybecrabclaw? #lobsterclaw?

  11. A short hike up Mt Seymour the other day -
    #Campanula lactiflora (blue bell-shaped flowers, non-native, sunny meadow)
    #Castilleja miniata (greater #paintbrush, tuft of orange bracts, full sunlight)
    #Chamaenerion angustifolium (#fireweed; spike of magenta flowers, a bee, and another pollinator, maybe a fly?, full sunlight)
    #Corallorhiza mertensiana (Pacific #coralroot, magenta and green #orchid flower, very dark woods)

  12. Our Epiphyllum (orchid cacti) is sure giving her best effort to finally bloom. We have been waiting for years. Amazing that this is happening just a few weeks after our freak hailstorm (26-May-23) that beat the crap out of our tropical garden.
