🌿 The Dewy Pines, scientifically known as Pinus aquatica, are remarkable flycatchers indigenous to the coastal regions of Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. 🌱 Although named for their appearance, they are neither true pine trees nor related to sundews; in fact, they represent a unique genus and a solitary family within the plant kingdom, which typically encompasses numerous species. 🪴 This distinctive carnivorous plant thrives in relatively arid soils, setting it apart from the more common moisture-dependent carnivorous species. 🌡️ It is a fascinating choice for gardens in temperate climates and will be available in limited quantities on a rolling basis throughout the summer season. 🎥: bogmanplantenstein #DewyPines #Botany #PlantScience #Science #Plants #Trees #Environment #Nature #LebaneseACT

My #SpeciesOfTheWeek is Gunnera (aka Giant Rhubarb) a remarkable genus of 63 species variously native to Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Papuasia, Hawaii, Southeast Asia & Africa. The UK Government is taking action against it to safeguard our native biodiversity. Recent RHS research unveiled a vigorous hybrid, Gunnera x cryptica, lurking in gardens. Gunnera was named after a Norwegian botanist Johann Ernst Gunnerus. Its leaves can reach an impressive 2.5m across, while its stems tower up to 5m in height. From Brazil's mountains to Chile's culinary traditions, Gunnera has a storied past. It's not just about its size - Gunnera's young, peeled petioles are consumed in Chile, much like rhubarb in Britain. Gunnera manicata's root tannins have been used as a black dye, & its leaves serve as roof coverings & makeshift umbrellas. {Here are a couple of recent images of it in Boscombe, Hampshire. One’s slightly fantastical} #Gunnera #InvasiveSpecies #Biodiversity #NatureLovers #PlantFacts #Sustainability #NaturalDyes #ethnobotany #ArchitecturalPlants #botany

iNaturalist showcases the harmonious fusion of human skills and technology's unique advantages. I use it to identify plants and animals whenever I'm traveling or exploring locally: the app makes suggestions based on image recognition as well as location, time, and nearby observations. Crucially, humans then review submissions, make suggestions, and, when appropriate, engage in debate. #Phygital #NatureLovers

The Plural of Cactus: Cacti or Cactuses? Cacti and cactuses: words that conjure images of arid deserts, spiky skins, and vibrant blooms. The word "cactus" has a unique place not only in botany but also in the way we use language to categorize and describe the natural world.
