The common patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), also known as the wadi monkey or hussar monkey, is a ground-dwelling monkey distributed over semi-arid areas of West Africa, and into East Africa.
Adult males are considerably larger than adult females, which average 49 cm (19 in) in length. Adult males average 12.4 kg (27.3 lb) and adult females 6.5 kg (14.3 lb), showing a high degree of sexual dimorphism.
Reaching speeds of 55 km/h (34 mph), it is the fastest runner among the primates. The life span in the wild can be up to about 20 years.
It is found in many parts of central, western, and eastern Africa. It also has been introduced to Puerto Rico. The species avoids dense woodlands and lives in more open tropical savanna.
The common patas monkey lives in multi-female groups of up to 60 individuals (although much larger aggregations have been reported). The group contains just one adult male.The common patas monkey feeds on insects, gum, seeds, and tubers, a diet more characteristic of much smaller primates. – Wikipedia
I haven't grown these for years.
If flowering bulbs are one of natures mysteries, watching the claw-like tuber of a ranunculus produce three dozen rosette-shaped flowers must be one of natures miracles.

Tibetorchidee "Pleione x Tongariro" - tibetan orchid
Pleionen brauchen eine kalte, aber frostfreie Überwinterung als Ruhezeit und schieben im Frühjahr erst die Blüte aus einer Knolle, danach folgen einzelne Blätter, die Knolle stirbt ab und es bilden sich neue Knollen.
* Pleions need a cold but frost-free hibernation as a rest period and in spring they first push the flower out of a tuber, followed by individual leaves, the tuber dies and new tubers form.

A new bundle of evil bursting into life; 'twas the season!
It's part of a very noxious¹, perennial climbing weed (white bryony) which has a tuber root looking very much like a long turnip; hence its endearing French pseudonym: "Navet du diable" (Devil's turnip). How absolutely shocking! ( ツ)
¹ All parts of the plant, including the root, are highly poisonous and
as few as twelve of its berries, would be enough to kill a child.
This puts it almost on a par with the deadly nightshade where only
two to four of its berries would achieve the same result.

Best viewed in lightbox and on full screen (F11), of course!
Take care, my friends, and many thanks for calling,

Planta herbácea tuberosa que andava meio esquecida , voltou como destaque em muitos jardins devido seu porte imponente. Variedade que pode atingir 1,2 m de altura. Suas folhas verdes e brilhantes se destacam antes mesmo de surgir as flores, suas pétalas espetadas são um espetáculo de beleza exótica.
Out of Winter Drab, dessicated leaves and such, suddenly, as it were, sprang up a clump of Round-Leav'd Cyclamen. A joy each year to behold. I don't know about you but Olymp and I have always had a hard time getting a good photo of this, our Swinebread. The 'nose' of the small flowers faces earthward and from above you see Cyclamen as in the inset photo. But Olymp, on instruction, was able to edge under- and sideward and nose-snapped the flower; see main photo. With our faces so close to earth we felt almost like the swine which are said to root for its tubers.

For the past 30 years, common loon populations have been declining throughout their core range — mostly Canada and the northern fringe of the United States — due in large part to lead poisoning from ingested fishing tackle, mercury contamination from coal-fired plant emissions, collisions with speeding boats, and entanglements in discarded fishing line. It is amazing they survive at all at our lake, the lake is small and the high powered boats don't care if they swerve with tubers on back by the nesting site. I think the bad weather has helped in their favour, less boats. I have collected lots of fishing line from the water and one time a whole fishing rod with a nasty hook floating in the lake. So, if you see fishing line, please clean it up even if it isn't yours... It sure helps.
Interestingly, the feathers around the beak are drawn forward signifying a relaxed state. A cockatoo is any of the 21 parrot species belonging to the family Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. Along with the Psittacoidea (true parrots) and the Strigopoidea (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the order Psittaciformes. The family has a mainly Australasian distribution, ranging from the Philippines and the eastern Indonesian islands of Wallacea to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia. Cockatoos are recognisable by the prominent crests and curved bills. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or tail. On average they are larger than other parrots; however, the cockatiel, the smallest cockatoo species, is a small bird. Cockatoos prefer to eat seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers and insects. They often feed in large flocks, particularly when ground-feeding. Cockatoos are monogamous and nest in tree hollows. Some cockatoo species have been adversely affected by habitat loss, particularly from a shortage of suitable nesting hollows after large mature trees are cleared; conversely, some species have adapted well to human changes and are considered agricultural pests. 62529

A delightful wildflower in the Ottawa area, a relative of the Sunflower, the Sunchoke has a tuber that is edible and quite amazing raw in salads or cooked like a potato.
I am not a highly skilled photographer at the best of times, and weaker still with wildflowers, but this species was a continuing delight in my excursions this fall and I wanted to record it. I hope this does it justice.

A Peony tuber was sent to me as a gift 3 years back, I couldn't get to ask the color of it. So when it flowered this year, it was a real surprise! I love it!!
Of late Flickr is acting strangely, I couldn't open or comment when I want to. Does anyone face any difficulty like mine?
Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.
Even though I started late planting my tubers they all done well for us.

Traunsteinera globosa es la única especie del género monoespecífico, Traunsteinera, de la familia de las orquídeas (Orchidaceae).
Su hábitat son los prados de montaña, húmedos, de entre 1000 a 2700 msnm. de gran parte de Europa.
La única especie es Traunsteinera globosa, y no es rara la forma blanca (var. albiflora Schur).
Hay algunos autores que a la T. globosa subsp. sphaerica (M. Bieb.) Soó, típica del Cáucaso y Anatolia, la elevan al rango de especie.
Una de las características más útiles para determinar la Traunsteinera globosa, cuya inflorescencia cónica se parece a la de Anacamptis pyramidalis, es la forma de los sépalos que acaban en apículo espatulado.
Planta alta de 20 a 60 cm, que presenta dos rizomas tuberosos, ovoidales. Tallo grácil, erecto, flexuoso.
Hojas basales reducidas a escamas marrones, 4 a 6 hojas caulinares, suberectas o erecta, distribuidas a lo largo de todo el tallo, las inferiores lanceoladas, tallo fino a 13 cm, sin embargo se vuelve más corto hacia el extremo.
Florece hacia el mes de julio. Inflorescencia pequeña, densa y multifloral, en un principio cónica después subglobosa, pasando a cilíndrica. Brácteas membranosas, tan largas como el ovario. Flores pequeñas, rosa o rosapurpurea, con manchas más oscuras sobre el labelo y a veces sobre los pétalos
Los sépalos con una longitud de 4,5 a 8 mm, ovados con un ápice claviforme largo, con apículo espatulado. Pétalos muy cortos, curvardos sobre el ginostemio. Labelo cuneiforme, largo 4 a 7 mm, trilobulado, con lóbulos laterales triangulares o romboidales, lóbulo mediano apenas más largo, con apéndice pequeño, ginostemo corto, obtuso. Borsicola rudimentaria, bilocular, recubriendo solo parcialmente y reticular.
Espolón delgado, de una longitud menor de 1/2 del ovario (2,5-3 mm), vuelto hacia abajo. Ovario sesil.

C’è una musica
in me
che esce in fiume

E’ potente,

su cui migrano stormi di uccelli in volo,
è un uragano che scivola sulla tempesta
di un oceano di notte.

Konjac is a common name of the East and Southeast Asian plant Amorphophallus konjac, which has an edible corm (bulbo-tuber). It is also known as konjaku, konnyaku potato, devil's tongue, voodoo lily, snake palm, or elephant yam (though this name is also used for A. paeoniifolius). It is native to Yunnan in China and cultivated in warm subtropical to tropical East and Southeast Asia, from Japan and China south to Indonesia (USDA hardiness zone 6-11). It is a perennial plant, growing from a large corm up to 25 cm in diameter. The single leaf is up to 1.3 m across, bipinnate, and divided into numerous leaflets. The flowers are produced on a spathe enclosed by a dark purple spadix up to 55 cm long. The food made from the corm of this plant is widely known in English by its Japanese name, konnyaku (yam cake), being cooked and consumed primarily in Japan and Korea. The two basic types of cake are white and black. Noodles made from konnyaku are called shirataki. The corm of the konjac is often colloquially referred to as a yam, though it is not related to tubers of the family Dioscoreaceae. 7686
Une petite punaise de l’asclépiade (Lygaeus kalmii) sur mon Asclépiade tubéreuse en pleine floraison.
Cet hémiptère appartient à la famille Lygaeidae, qui comprend également une espèce nommée la grande punaise de l’asclépiade (Oncopeltus fasciatus). Cette dernière, comme son nom le suggère, est de taille un peu plus grande (13-18 mm) que la petite punaise de l’asclépiade (10-12 mm). Bien que colorées de noir et d’orange, les deux espèces se distinguent aisément : les ailes antérieures de la petite punaise de l’asclépiade sont marquées d’un X orange bien visible. Ce n’est pas le cas de la grande punaise de l’asclépiade. Par ailleurs, la petite punaise de l’asclépiade peut s’observer plus au nord que sa consœur, cette dernière n’étant pas en mesure de survivre aux rigueurs de l’hiver.
Lygaeus kalmii est polyphage et se nourrit, en plus de l'Asclépiade commune (Asclepias syriaca), de divers végétaux et même d'insectes morts ou vulnérables. Elle serait portée au cannibalisme; elle se nourrit des insectes piégés par la sève collante de l'asclépiade ou vulnérables comme la chenille du Monarque. En effet, la punaise tolère la cardénolide, une toxine nocive pour plusieurs insectes et présente dans toutes les parties de l'asclépiade. Elle peut non seulement la consommer directement sans danger mais aussi se nourrir des insectes qui en ont mangé. Leur alimentation rend les punaises elles-mêmes toxiques, leurs couleurs vives servent justement à en avertir les oiseaux.
L’Asclépiade tubéreuse (Asclepias tuberosa) ou Orange Milkweed, en anglais, mesure environ 20 à 60 cm de hauteur. Contrairement aux autres asclépiades dont les feuilles sont opposées sur la tige, les feuilles de cette espèce sont disposées en alternance sur la tige. Ses inflorescences en ombelles se distinguent aussi par leurs fleurs éclatantes jaune-orangé. Cette espèce aime les sols calcaires et ne tolère pas l’ombre. On la retrouve dans les milieux ouverts, rocheux et secs, comme les rivages calcaires et les alvars.
Les asclépiades regroupent plus de 140 espèces inventoriées. Carl von Linné nomma le genre d’après le dieu grec de la médecine Asclépios, cette plante possédant de nombreuses vertus en phytothérapie. Elles représentent des plantes très importantes d'un point de vue écologique, fournissant du nectar à de nombreuses espèces de pollinisateurs, tout en étant la plante hôte de certains insectes comme le papillon monarque (Danaus plexippus) dont elle est la source exclusive de nourriture pour les larves de papillons monarques (Danaus plexippus) en Amérique du Nord. Les espèces du genre asclépias produisent des cosses. Ces cosses contiennent des filaments mous connus sous le nom de soies, chacune d'entre elles étant rattachée à une graine. Lorsque la cosse mûrit, elle s'ouvre et les graines sont disséminées par le vent.
A tropical tuber crop grown primarily in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the tropical Pacific islands.

Cyclamen is a genus of 23 species of perennial flowering plants in the family Primulaceae. Cyclamen species are native to Europe and the Mediterranean Basin east to the Caucasus and Iran, with one species in Somalia. They grow from tubers and are valued for their flowers with upswept petals and variably patterned leaves.

I was given two dahlias tubers for my birthday back in May. It took a long time for them to get going but my patience has been rewarded. I was surprised how they changed colour, starting off whitish and now a peachy pink.

The little toothwort tubers are edible and taste like radishes. In the old days, "pepper-root" was used to spice up ham sandwiches at lunch time when working out in the farm fields. The tuber is tan and sitting just to the right of those white toothwort blossoms.

Small yellow Winter Aconite at Laurelwood Arboretum in Wayne, NJ.
Usually crocus is the harbinger of warmer weather to come, but this brightly yellow flower - the Winter Aconite (Eranthus Hyemalis) beats even that early riser. Winter Aconite plants frequently come up through the snow, don’t mind a small amount of frost and will open their buttercup like flowers at the earliest chance.
Unlike tulips and crocus, winter aconite bulbs aren’t actually bulbs at all but tubers. These fleshy roots store moisture and food for the plant’s growth and hibernation over the winter just like a bulb does. They should be planted late in the fall at the same time you dig in the other spring-flowering bulbs.

Dahlias were originally brought from South America to Spain for their edible tubers, which look like fingerling potatoes. These were pulled out of the ground recently at Wright-Locke Farm, for storage over the winter.
Helianthus Tuberosus, one of its characteristics is the tendency to always turn the head towards the sun.

De grote stinkzwam komt met behulp van een eiertand uit een 3–6 cm grote knol die in de volksmond met heksen- of duivelsei wordt aangeduid.

Daaruit strekt zich in enkele uren de 10–20 cm lange poreuze en holle steel. De hoed van de paddenstoel is dan met een groene slijmerige sporenlaag (gleba) bedekt die een zeer penetrante aasgeur verspreidt, zelfs tegen de wind in te ruiken. De stank trekt vliegen en kevers als de oranje aaskever aan die voor de verspreiding van de sporen zorgen. De schone hoed is wit tot lichtgeel en heeft een kleine opening aan de top. De zwam lijkt dan wel op morieljes.
De sterke geur doet niet vermoeden dat deze paddenstoel ook eetbaar is. De steel van jonge exemplaren van de grote stinkzwam is eetbaar; naarmate hij ouder wordt neemt het psilocainegehalte toe waardoor hij te giftig wordt voor consumptie. Het heksenei, ontdaan van de sporenlaag, wordt gebakken opgediend en geldt in sommige culturen als afrodisiacum; dit vanwege de uiterlijke overeenkomst van het volwassen exemplaar, met het mannelijk lid. Deze veronderstelde werking is echter nooit aangetoond.

IThe large stink fungus comes with the aid of an egg tooth from a 3–6 cm large tuber, which is popularly referred to as witch's or devil's egg.
www.flickr.com/photos/105859735@N04/50472246873/in/album-...
The 10–20 cm long porous and hollow stem extends from this in a few hours. The cap of the mushroom is then covered with a green slimy spore layer (gleba) that gives off a very pungent carrion odor, even smelling against the wind. The stench attracts flies and beetles such as the orange carrion beetle that spread the spores. The clean hat is white to pale yellow and has a small opening at the top. The fungus then resembles morels.
The strong smell does not suggest that this mushroom is also edible. The stem of young specimens of the stinking fungus is edible; with age, psilocaine levels increase making it too toxic for consumption. The witch's egg, stripped of the spore layer, is served fried and is considered an aphrodisiac in some cultures; this because of the outward similarity of the adult specimen with the male member. However, this supposed effect has never been demonstrated.
