#botany
I didn’t have much luck at the weekend with #botanical #photography - it was rainy and I had a lot of work to do. I want to share, nevertheless, a mobile phone photo of the big #Datura inoxia which showed up between the newly planted #vine #plants in our vineyard… It’s unlikely it came with the vine plants as those arrived without soil, and also the Senior said he has seen Daturas growing on our land in different places before, so it seems to be somewhat established here. May I remind you, that’s not the #Mediterranean, that’s the #Elbe Valley in #Saxony, Germany. (Note: reposted.)

Good Morning and happy Sunday. Coffee now, some work mails later and then will spend a few hours with #botanical #photography. I saw some interesting species yesterday in the fatherly vineyard, neophytical species like a quite gigantic Datura inoxia which is a neophyte in warmer regions of Europe, such as the Mediterranean. I am not sure whether its been introduced with new vine #plants we ordered from Southern #Germany or how it arrived here at the Saxon #Elbe Valley, which always was very hot and dry but becoming even more so, due to #climate change effects. Will be interesting to see whether the #plant comes back after the winter - we will have to remove it, as it interferes with the newly planted #vine plants for light and water. #botany #nature #plantphotography #naturephotography #climatechange #neophyte

Bearded flatsedge is back! ABC with a nice pic of Tim and another of Eileen Ramsey
The discovery was made during a routine survey by the Victorian government's forest monitoring program, which examines more than 800 plots across the country to study the environmental impact of fire and floods. "When you do these surveys, you get to know the plants that are there all the time," Professor Entwisle said.
You do. A tad further south, we've named our favourites - eg., Barry and Bruce Banksia, and Karen X the grasstree whose leaves flop to one side :)
Seen today on a little walk in the south part of #Ottawa with @Kathryn Barr, some #wildflowers including morning glories and cornflowers
