The Royal Society of Natural Philosophy is pleased to announce the opening of a Botany House in Mooreton Bay, Alicentia. To advance the study of the flora of the New World, The Society has managed to engage the services of renowned Corlander Botanist, Sir Jonah Banks. Banks has set up his quarters in Botany House, a building in Mooreton bay built specially by the society for the study of Botany. Located roughly in the centre of the settlement, the land adjacent to the building has been set aside for future Botanic Gardens - a planned green oasis in the middle of a bustling town!

The flowers are fragrant, 8 to 12 centimeters in diameter, with five white petals, ten yellow-tipped stamens and a green stigma. The fruit is a pod 7.5 to 15 centimeters long and 1.5 to 1.8 centimeters broad. The species occurs in deciduous forests and scrub.
It is widely cultivated throughout the tropics as an ornamental plant. It may be found as an escape from cultivation in some areas, and has become naturalised.

Cap'n Jack Sparrow: We be sailing to Botany Bay
Me: Can't we go in the car it's only next to Margate!
I've lived in Kent all my life a yet strangely this weekend was the first I'd ever heard of Botany Bay and the first time I've visited Deal Pier. I wonder what other gems Kent has waiting for me.
Botany Bay, South Carolina.

A few weeks ago I was trawling through Google maps looking to see what Kent's northern coastline had to offer, and came across these fantastic chalk stacks. Today I headed down towards Margate aiming for high tide and was very lucky with the weather. When I finally arrived after negotiating rush hour m25, walking down to the beach was totally worth the stressful drive. I can imagine this beach is incredibly popular on a sunny summers day, but today with the foreboding clouds it was just myself and the occasional dog walker.

Measuring just 1 in (2.5 cm) across, this Lilliputian calciphilic cactus blooms amid between angular colluvium blocks of the Lower Cretaceous Santa Elena Limestone. The pen was added for scale.
A miracle of adaptation to the relentless subtropical sun and its rocky surroundings, Mammillaria lasiacantha is a Chihuahuan Desert species that's clothed in tightly packed clusters of stellate spines. These give the tiny cactus a distinctly woolly look. They also help the plant retain precious atmospheric moisture and blend in with the white limestone.

I drove down this road this morning, before dawn, to get to my sunrise location. It's a little spooky in the dark.

📟 : 313 to Chingford Station
🚍 : LT185 - LTZ1185
LT185 passes through Botany Bay (and avoids a little branch) as it heads from Potters Bar to Chingford Station operating route 313.
although not a very large beach the landscape here is quite unique compared to most beaches here in the South...the tides have long since eroded this once beautiful plantation ,two originally and created these skeleton trees...truly quite a pristine place,,swimming would be cautionary due to all of the stumps in the water that are unseen..but just sitting and viewing is gift enough,or adding to the shell art others have created along the path..have a blessed day one and all..

This is another older shot taken in November of 2013. I had been wanting to visit the Botany Bay area for a while and made a point to stop by on my way home from a friends wedding in Hilton Head SC. Unfortunately my travel plans brought me here during mid day when lighting was not ideal, but I just made the best of the light I had and looked at it more as a scouting trip than anything. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves and this really is a beautiful area to explore. I am definitely going to make a point to get back here again sometime this year.

Another one from Botany Bay, but at a faster shutter speed with no ND filters this time. Just to show the difference, I will post a long exposure from the same position tomorrow.

Yes, all our herbs come from the wild or from gardens...
Also it is trendy now to decorate your food with edible flowers, violets, chrysanthemums, tulips, rose petals and more.
Sometimes it is the leaves, the whole flower, sometimes just the flower.
It was full on in Japan, and I tried... but, euuhh, some are an 'acquired' taste = BITTER!!!

Our Daily Challenge ... science
Botany is the scientific study of plants ... and this includes algae, fungi, lichens and mosses.
A mushroom is fungi in the shape of an umbrella with a cup-shaped or flat cap on top of a stalk. They are actually the fruiting bodies, or flowers, that are produced by fungi. Spores are produced by a group of cells, called basidia, found on the underside of the mushroom cap. The body of the fungus is underground. While mushrooms come in all shapes, sizes and colors, the general structure remains the same.
The terms “mushroom” and “toadstool” are purely unscientific labels applied to different varieties of fungus. There’s no real scientific difference, however the name “toadstool” is commonly used to describe fungi that are inedible or poisonous, while “mushroom” is generally reserved for those that are safe to eat.
