This semi-evergreen clump-forming tuberous perennial has large arrow-shaped leaves. Erect folded-back spathes of fragrant yellow or cream appear in spring, with longer narrow spadices of a darker yellow. The flowers are followed in autumn by clusters of red or orange fruit. The plant reaches 50 cm (20 in) tall and broad. Arum creticum is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate gardens. It is hardy but requires a sheltered position in sun or partial shade, with moist soil. Caution should be exercised when handling it, as it is an irritant and toxic if ingested. “ - Wikipedia 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗶 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂! ⍗ www.plantsnap.com ⍗ #Arumcreticum #cretanarum #arum #creamflower #creamflowers #mediterraneanflora #ornamentalplant #ornamentalflowers #flowersoftheworld #floweroftheday #dailyblooms #plantlovers #plantoftheday #botany #plants #plantsnap

#freshfriday 🍃🥦🍒 Kinda looks reptilian 🦎 but it's a Romanesco cauliflower - a strange-looking vegetable with fractal florets that owes its unique shape to the fact that it forms from failed flowers. Like regular cauliflowers, Romanescos are a product of selective breeding of Brassica oleracea, from which several other common veggies like cabbage, broccoli & kale also originate. Cauliflowers, including Romanesco, gain shape because they start as flower buds that fail to become flowers. These buds become shoots that make new flowers, which also fail – & the process is repeated again & again in a sort of chain reaction. While we still don’t have all the answers, we now know the biological mechanism through which the fractals form. “They start as flowers then lose their identity,” says French scientist Francois Parcy. “If you imagine a firework, it explodes & makes light. It’s like if each of them was exploding again & again. And what you get, the structure of this cauliflower, is the result of all those consecutive explosions.” The difference between regular cauliflowers & Romanesco is that each failed flower is visible in the final Romanesco. This is because Romanesco shoots produce more buds at an accelerating rate, which lifts the growing tip away from the centre of the growing cauliflower, creating the familiar array of conical shapes that characterise the Romanesco. Other cauliflower buds are produced at a constant rate, which gives the finished vegetable a different appearance with rounded, hummocky florets. “The Romanesco is something really, really special. I don’t know any plant that looks like this,” says Parcy. “In a way, it’s written in the code of the plant to make that.” Image & info: newscientist.com #romanescocauliflower #lookatitgrow #freshisbest #freshfruitsandveggies #landscapearchitect #horticulturist #hillsdistrictbusiness

#FRIDAYFLORA - Since 2002, the Arnold Arboretum in Boston, Massachusetts, has been a member of the Plant Collections Network. This network of botanical gardens is administered through the American Public Gardens Association in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The primary focus of the Plant Collections Network is the long-term preservation of germplasm for research. Participating institutions commit to holding and developing collections that are primarily organized at the genus level. The Arboretum holds eight collections for the Plant Collections Network: Acer (maple), Carya (hickory), Fagus (beech), Forsythia (forsythia), Ginkgo (ginkgo), Stewartia, Syringa (lilac), and Tsuga (hemlock). Our collections focus is on botanical taxa—cultivated plants are exempt—and our goal is to maximize diversity both within each genus and within each species. The Arboretum’s holdings of these eight genera are quite robust, representing some of the largest and best documented collections of their kind in the world. Because of their importance, our Collections Policy prioritizes their development and care as core collections. #GoPublicGardens #PublicGarden #PublicGardens #ArnoldArboretum #FridayFlora #FloraFriday #Flora #tree #trees #treestudy

Proboscidea parviflora is an amazing Colorado native that, I have observed, creates a “force field” of odor that provides protection from grasshopper herbivory to other edible garden plants in its vicinity. Its beautiful flowers respond to touch (see: thigmotropism). Its edible young pepper-shaped fruits taste like Brussel sprout flavored okra. The seeds are hard to winnow, but are pearly white, and taste a bit like coconuts. Even though all of this is pretty interesting (to me), these are not the facts the plant is famous for.

Did you know! That fresh tilapia are sold in weight classes known as “sizes.” The lower the weight of the size class, the lower the price, while higher size classes command higher prices #funfact #FishSize #WeightClasses #FishMarket #PriceVariation #Aquaculture #MarketDynamics
