You’d never know it’s less than an inch tall :P
Cleo the #clerodendrumthomsoniae now on month 6 of blooming. All her flowers are now turning from white to pink, with fruits forming and popping open to show off some gorgeous bright orange seeds. They eventually dry and turn shiny black. I have a few seeds now, but haven’t tried to sprout any.
Yesterday’s walkabout amazing discovery!!! My first ever sighting of an elegant piperia, a species of wild orchid. I’m so pleased!! Found in Cadboro Bay area of Victoria, BC.
This past Sunday we went for a stroll around Beaver Lake, and spotted this CRAZY oyster mushroom bloom. There was a large fallen tree, and the whole length of it was covered from root to tip!! Part 2 #fungifriends #pacificnorthwest #vancouverisland

Things were very dry, but we’ve had a wet spell, so right now the fungi are just POPPIN!! Found these around the corner #fungifriends
Smh who would ever choose to play act being trans. It’s the hardest route possible. Why do people hate science so badly, I just don’t get it.
What a special find ❤️
Finding new ones is utterly thrilling!!
A shot showing growths of slime mold surrounded by moss. I believe this is stemonitopsis typhina with those silvery stalks.

The forest was quite rewarding today after some time away.
Lots of good stuff out there, but there was one clear standout. 🌿
