13 Psychedelic Plants You Can Grow But Not Eat! Nice To Look At, Fun To Talk About, But Please Don't Chew On Them.
Do Mushroom Calories Equal a Smaller Waist? As we all look for ways to eat healthy, keep our weight under control and try to stay away from foods that are not organic and are gmo-free, I think mushrooms are overlooked a little bit. I got asked a question the other day about how many […]
I couldn't resist posting another mushroom shot - slightly different composition and processing on this one. I just love the detail.
Botanical Name: Evernia prunastri. Other Common Names: Ekmossa (Swedish), mousse de chêne (French), Eichenmoss (German). Habitat: Oakmoss is widespread throughout Europe, North Africa, Asia and North America. Description: Evernia prunastri or oakmoss is a lichen of the Parmeliaceae family. The genus Evernia contains about ten different species. The thalli (the vegetative body of a lichen) are bush-shaped and grow together to form large clumps. The thallus is flat and highly branched. It grows on trunks and branches of shrubs and deciduous trees like oaks, fruit trees, and blackthorn but also sometimes on pine trees. It is green to light whitish-green
This post is all about fabulous poulets, their posh coops, and how they have been used to create a design trend. French Country interior decorating is inspired by sunny, rural, Southern France .Generally, there are two ways you can go here: the white, almost "shabby" look - pale, romantic and elegant with exposed natural elements such as stone walls and floors and beamed ceilings. The second kind, being featured in this post, has a more rustic, country feel - heavier and more solid with warmer colors, textures, and darker woods. Both of these looks will work well separately or together to give you the French Country decorating style. When choosing pictures or accessories for this kind of French Country, roosters are a very typical French theme – they are the national emblem of France...so choose anything with roosters on it, to make sure you get a very authentic, French Country interior design look. While roosters can be used in any room, kitchens are the best place to bring roosters into your design. Just a word of caution, don't over do it and have roosters all over the place. Be subtle and choose your accessories well. You will have a better, more refined look. This stone rooster is a great focal point for this country vignette. This is a lovely example of how roosters are used as decor in French County styled kitchens. This is a great way to create swags for a window treatment! Learn to think outside of the box!!! Black is a wonder color to use with French Country. This painted and distressed console features a rooster and is perfect for the French Country look. A country inspired tablesetting isn't complete without a rooster! This country display features a hen and her chick. Rooster art is prevalent in home decor stores today. You should have no problem selecting the right piece for your interiors. This kitchen is one of my designs for a client and features several rooster inspired accents. This pretty chair and bouquet is eye pleasing even to the the barnyard fowl. Using fowl in landscape design. Queen of the coop! Pillows are wonderful accessories and a great way to bring a SUBTLE touch of your rooster obsession to any room. These homeowners have chosen to use roosters on their window treatments. What chicken wouldn't want to live here? I love the way they have repurposed a chest of drawers Cute bench! There are so many lovely fabrics to work with if you like this style and want to add roosters into the mix. Remember this style works best with pattern so chose a few fabrics that work well together for upholstery or window treatments. Chicken are funloving! They even inspired a dance in the 70's, the funky chicken! I have a special place in my heart for roosters. I had one as a pet who would chase us kids on our bicycles just like a dog. His name was Chester and everybody loved him.We lived in town so it was unusual to see a big white leghorn rooster roaming around the neighborhood. Sometimes he might be a block away but when you called his name, he would crow to let you know where he was. It was hilarious!! Some college aged boys on the street got him for Easter one year and a birdbath fell on him and hurt his leg. They gave him to me and I nursed him back to health but he always had a limp. He was a fun pet and provided me many good memories of growing up with an unusual sidekick. Some images that I use for my blog posts are my own, but most come from Pinterest and other similar sources. If I have an image that belongs to you, I will be glad to remove it at your request.

This week, we’ve got a super sized epic creature...The Amorphophallus Titanum has the largest unbranched inflorescence (or spadix) in the world; it can reach over three meters (or nearly 10 feet) long! The inflorescence happens to be the large stem in the middle of the flower... The Amorphophallus Titanum starts out as a large tuberous root called corm, which can weigh up to 200lbs. The corm grows and stores energy for up to ten years before it flowers. While developing, it can grow up to several inches a day, ultimately reaching up to nine feet and looking very similar to an ear of corn. When growth slows to one inch a day it is ready to bloom. It blooms at night and becomes so hot from the process that it steams; a very unusual feature of this flower is that it heats itself. The spathe (flower petals) on the inside are deep purplish-red and the inflorescence is yellow. While blooming the smell this plant produces is akin to rotten egg, meat or fish, some people even say it smells like cheese. This smell is made to attract carcass-eating insects, as they crawl into the male flower the outer leaf closes on them. The male then discharges pollen on the insects then the leaves open up. Now when the insects investigate the female flowers they will fertilize them with the pollen stuck on them. To help prevent the bugs fertilizing other males, the females bloom after the males. After being fertilized the plant grows bright red fruit the size of olives then three days later the flower dies. However, the single leaf produced by the tuber grows into a tree-like plant that reaches up to 20ft tall and has a foliage spread of 15ft across, this allows the corm to begin storing energy again to be deployed years later. The Amorphophallus Titanum is rarely seen flowering, but when it does it is announced by keepers and a showing is planned. There was a showing of a Amorphophallus Titanum on April 23rd 2011 at the Botanical Garden University of Basel and people held their noses closed as they watched this beautiful flower bloom! Another reason it is so rare is because it only grows in the Sumatra rainforest (Indonesia) on limestone hills and only if there is an opening in the bush for sun. After seeing some pictures of this plant you may think “Geez that plant looks very phallic…” you are not the only one! Its scientific name “Amorphophallus Titanum” means “huge deformed penis”. Sir David Attenborough was aware of this and felt is was awkward calling it a huge deformed penis in Latin on his TV show “The Private Life of Plants” so he invented the nickname “Titan Arum”. In Indonesia the common name for it is “Bunga Bangkai” which roughly translates to “Corpse Plant” and that is where it gets its second common nickname. The size, smell and lifespan of this flower are the reasons I deem this flower EPIC! **You may also say “Hey isn't this an Epic Creature Blog, why is there a plant?” I would answer by quoting Wikipedia… “A creature is an organism [emphasis added]. The term is derived from the widespread historical belief that all such things were created, as by a deity or deities. The word is generally used to refer to non-human animals but does include humans.” Now that I cleared that up, in the future I may review creatures alive now, creatures from the past or even mythological creatures! **
Creoidotus cestatii has to be one of my favourite fungus. When seen from above it seems so common and innocuous, just a white crust attached to the underside of a dead twig. But once turned over and viewed from its lower surface it becomes a fabulous combination of shapes and colours, gills and swirls, love this! Putt Woods nr Faversham
