If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Alone, these photos are beautiful to look at. A clear night sky, Lavender fields and a lone tree (I can't identify).

However, these are more rare than meets the eye. In the first picture, you can see Jupiter Saturn and the Milky Way Galaxy. In the 2nd photo, you can see the literal, once in a lifetime comet, Neowise. Amazing nighttime photography that won't be replicated in our lifetime. This comet's orbit takes 6,800 years.

Insane to look at. 👀 🌠 🌌 🌳

The Lavender field is located in Guadalajara, Spain.

I got this Euphorbia about mid 2018. It was about 5" tall when I picked it up. I kept it in a room that didn't get much light.. It pretty much stayed that way till I brought it to work and put it in a micro greenhouse for the sake of keeping my plants together in this thing. The small ones at least...
•
•
I should mention that this was a 3rd floor Western facing window with no other buildings around to block the sunlight. PLENTY of light! The mini greenhouse structure was about 12" tall at the sides and about 15" tall in the middle. In less than a year, it went from being on the edge of the micro greenhouse to the middle to having to keep the top "flaps" open cause it kept outgrowing the area. It's now easily 2' tall and still growing.
•
•
This goes to show what can happen when the right plant is in the right place. Gotta repot it soon. Looking forward to seeing how tall I can get it!

It's funny cause it's true... Weeds out there showing off lol
•
•
There's a gym next door who has been closed since mid March. Their parking lot has been closed as well. With no one to come pull them and spray herbicides, the weeds in this lot are easily 3' tall.

Mixed feelings about what today is, supposed to be and what it actually is.

No matter what, there is work that needs to be done before this is really the land of the free...

Hope everyone has had a safe and happy fourth

Dr. David Stahle of the University of Kansas visited the area in the 1980s, convinced these trees were about 1,000 years old. Little did he know they were older than Christianity itself.

Dendrochronologist, professor, and researcher at the University of Arkansas, David Stahle, first visited the Black River area in the 1980s and it was immediately apparent that he found something remarkable. Decades later, his suspicions were confirmed when a cypress tree there was dated at 2,624 years old.

According to WECT 6 News, the Black River Preserve in North Carolina is home to North America’s oldest trees east of California. Purchased by the Nature Conservancy, Bladen County’s dark, quiet waters lead to a tree that’s not just the oldest cypress tree, but the fifth-oldest tree in the world.

When Stahle and retired biologist Julie Moore first visited the area, they underestimated just how ancient their discovery was. Fortunately, their find has now been recorded into history, in the Environmental Research Communications journal.

“We found one in the 80s that was 1,650 years old,” said Stahle. “We thought, ‘That’s pretty good,’ and went on to other work.”

Little did they know they had just found a tree older than Christianity itself.

“At the time, I figured there’s 1,000-year-old trees all around here, which is extraordinarily rare anywhere but California, and Chile too,” said Stahle. “It’s very rare worldwide to find trees that are over 1,000 years old.”

It was in 2011 that one of Stahle’s own graduate students, eager to study the trees at Black River, prompted his return to the site. Nature Conservancy’s Angie Carl served as their guide, and down the mystical rivers they went.

“It’s like walking into the Cretaceous (Period) because these trees are that old, almost,” said Stahle. “For living, individual trees, these are some of the oldest in the world.”

The tree has been dated using both traditional dendrochronology (or counting the rings inside of it) and radiocarbon dating.

Dendrochronology is the scientific method of dating trees through their rings. To do so, researchers like Stahle twist a hollow borer through the bark and retrieve a small, pen-sized portion @ West New York, New Jersey

Loving the business card for !! Not only is it made from recycled paper, you can also plant it and grow wildflowers! You get the satisfaction of growing something with the bonus of having wild flowers to look at, all the while, BENEFITING Bees!
•

・・・
Worker bees collect nectar and pollen from flowers to feed their entire colonies. Through pollination, bees help flowers reproduce by spreading pollen from flower to flower. Plants cannot create seeds without pollination! Unfortunately, bees are disappearing at an alarming rate. Our plantable tree card sets grow wildflowers when planted. When you purchase a card set, you are not only helping out the bees, but you are helping our planet. We'll plant 10 new trees and save 100 trees in your name!
