tiny tree

Speaking of willows. There's a species of willow. Salix herbacea. Known as the Dwarf Willow. And this thing. IT ONLY GROWS 1-6 CENTIMETERS TALL. IT'S KNOWN AS "ONE OF THE SMALLEST WOODY PLANTS" BECAUSE ITS A TREE THAT DECIDED TO BE 1 CENTIMETER HEIGHT

drawings from paleo expedition to dagestan, done right on the trip. sometimes messy when it was cold and rainy, but i won't correct it. i think it's cool to leave it just the way it was done, and not retouch it after. there will be more drawings later, but those will be done from home

had an interview for a plant job in Nevada and afterwards the interviewer emailed me a list of all the known plants there confirmed by the organization and I keep considering responding with ‘Wow, and all these plants are running casinos you say?’ and every time I restrain myself

Fenton Ethics and Test Tube Babies

In order to get the funding they need for their Ghost stuff, Jack and Maddie Fenton had to do some... rather illegal things when they left college.

One of them was testing alien DNA and seeing if it was compatible with human DNA.

However getting their hands on Superman's DNA or any of the main Leaguers would be far to hard for two up coming scientists and would run the risk of them being caught. Instead they set their sights on some of the younger aliens.

Such as Starfire, or rather Koriand'r.

They manage to get their hands on her DNA, and also her boyfriend (Nightwing) at the time and began to test it. They felt unsure with what they're doing but they needed the funding and in order to make themself feel better with what they're doing they decided if they were test her DNA with someone she was seeing it would be... better for their own conscience (it doesn't make what they're doing okay but they think so)

Eventually they succeeded in the testing! A baby can be made between a human and a alien.

HOWEVER because we know how the Fenton's get, they kind of go ahead of what they were only meant to do, which was just to TEST the compatibility of the DNA. Basically the paper's before the test phase.

With them getting tunnel vision on this project... They create said baby.

Then before they could show off that creating a new baby via test tubes actually works, they were told that the paperwork they were working on were going to be given to a new team, thank you for your work, here is the money for your ghost stuff, and have a good day.

The people who hired them then just leave.... Without knowing about the newly made baby.

Jack and Maddie name the baby Jasmine.

A few years later when little Jazz asks for a sibling... Well they bring out the old test tubes and papers.

And even though Starfire is no longer dating Nightwing, her new partner Red Hood would make a wonderful male donor for their future kid.

Showing you all my favorite Red, Painted, and White Trillium pictures I've taken over the past few years like a kid at recess with a fat stack of pokemon cards. The first photo is a Red Trillium (Trillium erectum) which is one of my favorite spring wildflowers.

The photo on the top right is the fruit that develops as the flower dies back and contains seeds that are dispersed by ants. The process is actually really interesting, the seeds have these fatty, protein-rich structures attached to them called elaiosomes that ants love to eat, and when they harvest the seeds for the elaiosomes they help the plant reproduce itself. Everyone wins👍

The third photo is (I'm fairly certain) not a separate species, but actually a naturally ocurring pale color morph of the Red Trillium. This guy pops up year after year in the same spot, a lone yellow-green bloom in a patch of deep red.

Painted (Trillium undulatum, fourth photo) and White (Trillium grandiflorum, last two photos) aren't as common where I am, but I stumble onto them occasionally! All of these species are slow-growing plants—it can take nearly a decade for one to start producing flowers—so getting to see them out in the wild is a treat, and they're always best left in the ground💖
