Plant of the Day

Wednesday 17 April 2024

The sub-shrub perennial Erysimum mutabile (changeable wall-flower) produces a woody base covered with slender, lax stems that produce flowers in yellow, pink and purple. This species will thrive on a well drained location for a few years but is easily replaced by growing further plants from cuttings.

SOME FUNNY MEMES THAT MINE AND @cristalthenarwhalpotato 's FRIEND MADE A BIT AGO! AKA @hoodedalchemist

they a silly little trio

Mecha (The green sans with the robotics) belongs to @hoodedalchemist !!

Erysimum (the skeleton with the half mask and flowers growing on them also im sorry for i misspelled the name cris) belongs to @cristalthenarwhalpotato !

and of course Shadow (the monochrome sans) belongs to me!

I offer you, my son

His name's Erysimum, nicknamed Ery(Pronounced like Yuri), and he's an Out!Code sans character I made wayyy back in the day and brought back alongside my returning UTMV obsession.

He has an innate need to protect others, which is fitting for his power because like it's literally just "big shields"

His Def stats are probably through the roof. So he won't die easily at all. He can summon multiple of his shields too and just, be annoying af if he wanted to. He only has the staff for self defense and to help with walking, and also because it's non lethal.

Personality wise he's a nervous wreck, probably has the 'Tism, and trusts people way too easily despite his crippling fear of people.

He's traveling the multiverse in search for something... or perhaps someone. Having no memory of his past other than that something, or someone is missing- and that he has to find his "other half"

He refuses to remove the half mask he wears, insisting its part of his body and soul.

Anyways enough of my rambles. Just know he's silly and probably not the last UTMV character of mine I'll revive/make.

What Are Lithophytes?

Originally posted on my website at https://rebeccalexa.com/what-are-lithophytes/

Ask most people what plants need to grow in, and they’ll say “soil” or “dirt”, right? And for the majority of terrestrial plants that’s the case. But given the sheer scale of biodiversity and the ability of species to make use of any niche–no matter how small–left unoccupied, there are of course exceptions. Take epiphytes, for example, that cling to the bark of trees and other plants. Rather than drawing nutrients and water from soil, they instead absorb what they need from the air. Psammophytes also get what they need from the air, but instead sink their root system into shifting sand dunes.

I am especially fascinated by lithophytes. “Litho-” means “stone”, and so a lithophyte is simply a plant that grows on stone. There are two main types of lithophyte. Epilithic lithophytes grow on a stone’s surface, and a crevice in the stone may be populated by endolithic lithophytes. Some of these plants can only grow on stone, so they’re described as obligate lithophytes, but their facultative lithophyte neighbors are those that are able to colonize both stone and soil or another substrate at the same time–some lithophytes can even live as tree-dwelling epiphytes instead!

Like epiphytes, a lithophyte may have some ability to absorb water and nutrients from the air. But they also capitalize on anything that ends up washed into their roots by rain. Endoliths may find that over time debris accumulating in their crevice offers a much-needed resource boost. As part or all of a lithophyte dies, the surrounding plants extract nutrients from the decaying matter–nothing goes to waste in nature, after all. They do not, as a general rule, have a negative effect on the rocks themselves; while some rock-dwelling lichens may chemically weather the stone beneath them, lithophytic plants simply use the rock as a convenient surface to take root.

Arbuscular mycorrhizae within a root as seen under a microscope

What I find really cool is that lithophytes can be mycorrhizal! Their roots are pierced by colonies of various arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that draw up nutrients from the soil and share them with the plants. While this is a very common relationship in nature–four out of every five vascular plant species uses arbuscular mycorrhizal networks–lithophytes seem to have cultivated a greater concentration of these helpful fungi.

A moss-covered rock is often someone’s first encounter with lithophytes. Lacking proper roots, mosses hang onto the stone with tiny rhizomes. Over time they might cover its entire surface, and if said surface is relatively flat and protected from weather and other erosive forces, their decaying remains could be the very beginning of a new patch of soil.

But it’s not just the little bryophytes like mosses that can eke out a living on a rock. More complex vascular plants may also take root on or within stone. One of my favorite ferns, the licorice fern (Polypodium glycyrrhiza) commonly grows as an epiphyte on trees in the Pacific Northwest, but given the right opportunity it will colonize a suitable crevice in a cliff. Orchids may have a reputation for being difficult to care for in captivity, but in the wild there are a lot of lithophytic species. Many, like Dendrobium teretifolium or many Phalaenopsis species, can also live quite well as epiphytes on a tree or other plant. And the wallflower, Erysimum cheiri, got its common name for its tendency to grow out of cracks in rocky slopes.

Nepenthes campanulata

Unsurprisingly, some carnivorous plants make their homes on rocks, and their carnivory allows them access to much-needed nutrients in an otherwise limited setting. The pitcher plant Nepenthes campanulata often grows in colonies on cliff faces. Heliamphora exappendiculata, another pitcher plant, will happily grow both in wetlands and on constantly damp rocks. Sanderson’s bladderwort (Utricularia sandersonii) doesn’t eat insects, but instead sucks up microscopic organisms using bladders the plant buries under nearby soil or sediment.

One more thing: are the plants you see growing in gravel also lithophytes? Not necessarily. There may be soil beneath the gravel that the plant is exploiting. Or the gravel itself may be part of a mineral soil–one that has a lot of stone and not much organic material. A true lithophyte is going to be attached to a rock or rooted in its crevice, though it’s possible to find lithophytes growing on stones that, through weathering, may be feeding fragments into a nearby mineral soil over time.

Part 1. Whatever the vampire and the witcher amuse themselves with.. (note: 1. a little fun for the monster slayer and the very sight of the 'bloodthirsty monster' in Tesham Mutna, where Emiel prefers to collect the herbs he needs; 2. I would like to see their interactions like this sort of in the game, more options for old friends; 3. Due to my inexperience at the time of shooting, I couldn't remove one of the swords, so he remained - one for the monsters, the second for the people and the third for the Regis. xd).

"This season has been a great harvest of "Erysimum canescens L." In the greenhouse of Corvo Bianco, it will be an excellent addition among other herbs, that we have already managed to collect with the respected Barnabas-Basil and my friend Dettlaff ... How nice it is, when you have been given full right to interfere in the garden and the greenhouse. I would plant the necessary herbs to treat the common ailments, that people in this climate zone have. Workers often complain to me about their ailments... " Geralt is sneaking. Quiet, like a very cautious wolf. "I could feel you from a mile away, witcher. Don't stand there. Kindly don't draw your sword. I have enough to worry about." "You will have to fight me, bloodthirsty vampire!" Characteristic clang and soft grin. "I warned you, White Wolf..." The vampire laughs weakly and a swirl of dark cloud covers the area around him. Geralt literally flies up, trying to catch the 'monster' in time. He just turns around, rubbing the petals of that very plant in his hands, rubbing it into the phalanges, watching the movements, which are so fast for a person, and so slow for a vampire. "Are you seeking death, Geralt of Rivia?"

The last three of my mane 6 redesigns! Brief descriptions below the cut.

Pinkie Pie is Confetti Cannon (Connie). She’s an energetic party pony who loves her friends more than anything. She remembers everything anypony tells her about themselves, which makes her capable of amazing things, like breaking into your house while you’re out and leaving amazing gifts in unexpected places. She has insanely strong magic, and can use it to do impossible things but only when it’s funny. Like, she can teleport and hover and grow extra limbs but only if she’s doing a bit. She draws her magic from the element of friendship. Fluttershy is Erysimum, which is a wallflower with four petals (so it kinda looks like her butterflies). She loves to frolic in the meadows, care for plants and animals, and hang out with her silly friends and silently raise her eyebrows at the stupid things they say. Over the years she has learned to handle her social anxiety much better and she is very proud of her own growth. She draws her magic from the element of growth.  Applejack is still Applejack because it just feels wrong to change it. She is a very reliable and confident pony who is good at what she does. She has trouble diverting from routine or having nuanced discussion as she is very stubborn and sure of herself. She is extremely friendly and sociable, treating all other ponies like family, no matter who they are. She draws her magic from the element of stability.
