I think so :) I had a couple more pics I wanted to upload of a palm tree and another big plant, but my photos weren't coming out right 🌴

Love all the photos that have been uploaded, especially the one of the 400 year-old tree you took with the lichen 🍄 Nature is lovely, wish we could be more connected with it year round 🌿

This tree is doomed.

The part of the photo I didn't take was the red belt it was wearing. The forestry folks mark the trees that are to be taken down.

However, I was captivated by the blue mold growing gently on this old bark. The years of life this tree has had. I found the texture to be something in which I could get lost.

You might say, "Get lost! This is not a pretty flower!"

I would retort, "But this tree has lived longer than you, or your parents, or your grandparents, or even your great-grandparents. It has seen so many changes. Its fungal network will help the other trees of the forest to communicate once it rots away. It's a key to our survival. Even half dead it churns out hundreds of foot pounds of oxygen, converting the carbon layer into useable breathable air. Do you like to breathe? Thank a tree."

lovely thread on a cold January day!

Here's one from me: I took this photo of this unknown cactus, something probably in the Echeverria family. I like the geometry of the unfolding leaves. It's known as sacred geometry. You can look at a sunflower (the center with its patterning, not just the petals around the edges) to see another example of this. 😊

Yep, it's Digitalis purpurea, from which we get the heart medication digitalis. 😊 It once was considered a flower beloved by the fairies, in European folklore.

I love plants on my room but my mom hates it...


Just like the feeling of having plants by me it reminds me of nature...
