this was in bud and flower March 2024 - the involucral bracts are purple! There is a large patch at the NC Botanical Garden!
We went exploring in an old magnesium plant outside of Snyder this trip. The place closed years ago and had a huge fire at some point after they closed. No one has cleaned up any of the place since then.
I realised I had not drawn anything for the Sketching in Nature blog for ages. So I picked this acacia on the weekend . I put it in some water and was amazed as the buds opened and blossumed over the last few days. So this became a real work in progress.
Jakaś zwariowana tropikalna roślina w Ogrodzie Botanicznym / Some crazy tropical plants in the Botanical Garden
A house plant in Europe, but native to Southern Africa, and named after Lady Charlotte Florentia Clive, Duchess of Northumberland, by the botanist John Lindley in 1828.Lady Clive was the grand-daughter of Clive of India, and her father, Edward Clive 1st Earl of Powis, was also an expert and pro-active gardener. He spent much time digging in his gardens dressed like one of his gardeners, with rolled up shirtsleeves! Her mother was also a botanist of some renown, who made a number of plant discoveries during her own time in India.

For "Our Daily Challenge ... stressed"
Surrounded by black plastic weed mat (which also hinders water penetration) and gravel mulch which gets too hot to walk on, this plant is very stressed and struggling to survive the extreme desert-like conditions in which it lives.
I’ve mentioned before that I enjoy growing edibles because they’re beautiful. I think cabbage nestled in the flowerbed among other plants is really lovely as are so many other edible plants. Last fall I planted some ‘Golden Sweet Snow Peas’, but the frost hit before they could produce their bountiful crop, so I didn’t get to see or taste any of the golden pods. I did get to enjoy the beautiful purple blooms at least, I’ve never seen anything like it in an edible pea.
