Late nights have finally paid off with my development of a plant with just leaves and no stems. Who needs a stem when we really only need colorful and magnificent leaves and flowers. this tree was made up of dull stems and bright colorful red leaves so i eliminated the stems and presto i have made a leaf plant.
Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes or fynbos. In local tradition, the protea flower represents change and hope. The extraordinary richness and diversity of species characteristic of the Cape flora are thought to be caused in part by the diverse landscape, where populations can become isolated from each other and in time develop into separate species. The main vectors responsible for the transfer of pollen in protea cultivation are birds, insects, and wind. Some Protea species exhibit both self-pollination and cross-pollination as a method of reproduction. Cross-pollination is preferred, though, as a method of reproduction because it provides genetic diversity in the population. When cultivating proteas, breeders use hand pollination as a controlled method to transfer pollen from one flower to another. Proteas usually flower during spring. The general structure of their flower heads consists of a mass of flowers on a woody receptacle. The ovary is protected by the receptacle, thus is not seen when looking at the flower, but the anthers are present at the top of the flower, which can then easily transfer the pollen to the vectors. 5375
Piebald is a genetic abnormality that results in a lack of pigmentation in animals. Both parents must carry the recessive gene to produce an offspring with Piebaldism.
Either way, this baby is awfully cute!
This little cutie got tired of mom cleaning her bottom to keep her scent free from predators. She had play and exploring on her mind and simply walked away from mom as if- I'm clean enough!

I have to remind a lot of kids around Halloween that black cats aren't scary and they aren't bad luck. Black cats have the most docile characteristics of any cats genetically so the idea that they would have developed a bad reputation is not based on Science or reality!
Here's a cat from Vancatver, Catada!

they look genetically the same like so many of us
but
this is a lying down in green pastures that is anything but easy
one is an outsider thru and thru
the other is an insider outsider and so like me and you
their minds, their hearts talk two different languages gooblygoo.
one says meow
one say meooooo
there is no love lost nor love gained only never explained.
so they lay in the grass a common ground
and enjoy what can be found even if it is not bound
bound to another not to each other
so lets find grass green and so soft
let us enjoy it and not make it lost
you may say high i may say low
you may hear frank and i may hear joe
the grass doesn't care its green and so soft
the grass doesn't care so love love love it and stay soft.

Apparently, a genetic mutation causes some gray squirrels to have "blonde" tales. A rare trait, occurring according to one source in only 1 in 100,000 gray squirrels.
Pratiquement disparus, ils réapparaissent progressivement.
En 2001 seuls 62 individus subsistaient en Espagne. Aujourd’hui la population de Lynx ibériques est estimée à plus de 2000 individus matures. Les efforts de conservation de cette espèce se sont concentrés sur l’augmentation de l’abondance de ses proies, le lapin européen (Oryctolagus cuniculus), la protection et la restauration des habitats de maquis et de forêts méditerranéens, la réduction des décès causés par les activités humaines, et l’augmentation de la diversité génétique de l’espèce par le biais de translocations et d’un programme d’élevage ex-situ. (source: UICN).
Cependant, le lynx ibérique reste une espèce menacée.
La rencontre d’un Lynx est un émerveillement. Celle d’un animal humble, discret, possédant l’art subtil de se fondre dans son environnement, et se déplaçant toujours avec grâce et élégance.
Almost disappeared, they reappear gradually.
In 2001 only 62 individuals remained in Spain. Today the population of Iberian Lynx is estimated at more than 2000 mature individuals. Conservation efforts for this species have focused on increasing the abundance of its prey, the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), protecting and restoring Mediterranean scrub and forest habitats, reducing deaths caused by human activities, and increasing the genetic diversity of the species through translocations and an ex-situ breeding program. (source: IUCN).
However, the Iberian lynx remains an endangered species.
Meeting a Lynx is a wonder. That of a humble, discreet animal, possessing the subtle art of blending into its environment, and moving always with grace and elegance.

Breaking News: A Revolutionary Hybrid - Chili Pomegranate Created in Genetic Engineering Lab!
In a groundbreaking experiment conducted in our cutting-edge Genetic Engineering Laboratory, scientists have successfully developed a new hybrid through the revolutionary chromosomoribocomo method. Behold the Chili-Pomegranate—a fiery yet fruitful innovation that defies the boundaries of nature!
This hybrid combines the zest and heat of a homegrown chili pepper with the vibrant allure of a perfectly round pomegranate (albeit this one is plastic for demonstration purposes!).
"Our new method allows for endless possibilities," said the lead researcher.
This bold experiment, staged in my very own garden, showcases not only the potential of this technique but also our ability to imagine the unimaginable. Stay tuned for more hybrids that will redefine what is real—or not!

Taraxacum (/təˈræksəkʊm/) is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The scientific and hobby study of the genus is known as taraxacology. The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two most commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale (the common dandelion) and T. erythrospermum (the red-seeded dandelion), were introduced into North America from Europe and now propagate as wildflowers.[4] Both species are edible in their entirety.[5] The common name dandelion (/ˈdændɪlaɪ.ən/ DAN-di-ly-ən, from French dent-de-lion, meaning 'lion's tooth') is also given to specific members of the genus.
Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance, along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators.[6] Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.[7]
In general, the leaves are 50–250 millimetres (2–10 in) long or longer, simple, lobed, and form a basal rosette above the central taproot. The flower heads are yellow to orange coloured, and are open in the daytime, but closed at night. The heads are borne singly on a hollow stem (scape) that is usually leafless and rises 10–100 millimetres (3⁄8–3+7⁄8 in) or more[4] above the leaves. Stems and leaves exude a white, milky latex when broken. A rosette may produce several flowering stems at a time. The flower heads are 20–50 millimetres in diameter and consist entirely of ray florets. The flower heads mature into spherical seed heads sometimes called blowballs[8] or clocks (in both British and American English) containing many single-seeded fruits called achenes. Each achene is attached to a pappus of fine hair-like material which enables wind-aided dispersal over long distances.[citation needed]
The flower head is surrounded by bracts (sometimes mistakenly called sepals) in two series. The inner bracts are erect until the seeds mature, then flex downward to allow the seeds to disperse. The outer bracts are often reflexed downward, but remain appressed in plants of the sections Palustria and Spectabilia. Some species drop the "parachute" from the achenes; the hair-like parachutes are called pappus, and they are modified sepals. Between the pappus and the achene is a stalk called a beak, which elongates as the fruit matures. The beak breaks off from the achene quite easily, separating the seed from the parachute
In various regions of Asia—especially Korea, Japan, and parts of Southeast Asia—cats with short, curled tails have been a familiar sight in both urban and rural landscapes for centuries. These distinctive tails, often twisted like a spiral or loop, are the result of a natural genetic mutation that has persisted in local populations, particularly in isolated or inbred groups. In Korea, these cats are not an officially recognized breed, but they are common as both stray and domestic animals, and are often viewed fondly by locals.
The cat shown here—a calico female with a short, curled tail—is a beautiful example of this trait (although it is not clearly visible in the image). We found her at the harbor, keeping a vigilant eye on everything around her, full of curiosity and poise. After the photos were taken, she stayed close to us, gently asking for affection—clearly a lady of the port, confident and at ease in her domain. Her tricolor coat, typical of female calicos, adds symbolic value: in many Asian cultures, this pattern is associated with good luck and protection of the home.

Die Pferde stehen an einem Zaun, deshalb der beengte Schnitt am rechten Bildrand ;-)
Das Islandpferd, auch Isländer oder Islandpony genannt, ist eine aus Island stammende, vielseitige und robuste Pferderasse beziehungsweise ein Kleinpferd, das dank seines kräftigen Körperbaus auch von Erwachsenen geritten werden kann. Islandpferde gehören zu den Gangpferden, da sie nicht nur über die Grundgangarten Schritt, Trab und Galopp verfügen, sondern zusätzlich über die genetisch fixierte Gangart Tölt. Viele von ihnen verfügen auch über die Gangart Pass. Als „Islandpferd“ anerkannt werden nur reingezogene Tiere, ohne Fremdbluteinkreuzung, deren Abstammung lückenlos bis nach Island zurückzuverfolgen ist. In Island ist die Einfuhr von Pferden zur Vermeidung von Krankheiten verboten. Daher können Pferde, die in Island geboren wurden und einmal die Insel verlassen haben, nicht wieder nach Island eingeführt werden. (Wikipedia)
The horses are standing at a fence, hence the cramped cut on the right edge of the picture ;-)
The Icelandic horse, also known as the Icelandic horse or Icelandic pony, is a versatile and robust breed of horse or small horse that comes from Iceland and can also be ridden by adults thanks to its strong physique. Icelandic horses are gaited horses because they not only have the basic gaits walk, trot and canter, but also the genetically fixed gait tölt. Many of them also have the Gait Pass. Only purebred animals without cross-breeding, whose ancestry can be traced back to Iceland without any gaps, are recognized as “Icelandic horses”. Horses are banned in Iceland to prevent disease. Therefore, horses born in Iceland, once leaving the island, cannot be re-entered Iceland. (Wikipedia)

Blue-winged warbler, May 8, 2017, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.
Vermivora cyanoptera
Blue-winged and Golden-winged Warblers look different, sing different songs, occur in somewhat different habitats, and winter in different places. But amazingly, these differences are only skin deep, or rather feather deep—the two species are 99.97% genetically similar, according to research done at the Cornell Lab.

I found this beautiful pink and patterned Katydid on a Peruvian lily. I’ve only seen green ones until today.
Art Vaughan said, Its erythrism . . . a genetic mutation and a lucky find. Thanks Art.
I wasn’t sure whether these are called Whitebells, or have some other name. In fact they are, and I have several, as well as the more traditional bluebells. To my surprise, according to the National Trust, they’re a rarity, caused by a genetic mutation within a population of bluebells, which results in a white flowered bluebell. It is estimated that the proportion of blue to white flowered bluebells is 10,000 : 1. Mine are flowering very happily alongside their blue counterparts, as you can see.

Red-winged blackbird missing a few feathers, Rondeau Provincial Park, April 20, 2023.
Agelaius phoeniceus.
Different populations and subspecies of Red-winged Blackbirds vary markedly in size and proportions. An experiment was conducted that moved nestlings between populations and found that the chicks grew up to resemble their foster parents. This study indicated that much of the difference seen between populations is the result of different environments rather than different genetic makeups.
