While watering my little plant today, I thought it was sick with mold, mildew, or a fungus! But checking online, I was relieved that it's ok. Those white particles are "trichomes".
"Trichomes are small hairs on the leaves of the the air plants which help them absorb water, airborne minerals, and helps them to regulate their temperature. Trichomes are important since air plants do not grow in soil and have traditional root systems. Trichomes can absorb moisture directly from the air, even without the plant having to get damped by rain, mist, or morning dew."

Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata (often abbreviated to Psyllobora 22-punctata), the 22-spot ladybird, (earlier known as Thea vigintiduopunctata) is a common, 3–5 mm long ladybird native to Europe . The elytra are yellow in colour with 22 black spots. The pronotum is yellow or white with 5 black spots. Unlike most other ladybirds which feed on aphids, P. 22-punctata eats mildew — especially from umbellifers and low-growing shrubs . The 22-spot ladybird is best looked for amongst low vegetation.

Celosia is a small genus of edible and ornamental plants in the amaranth family, Amaranthaceae. The name refers to the flame-like flower heads. Species are commonly known as woolflowers, or, if the flower heads are crested by fasciation, cockscombs. The plants are well known in East Africa's highlands. The plant is an annual. Seed production in these species can be very high. Grows well in humid areas and is the most-used leafy plant in Nigeria. It grows in the wet season and grows well while other plants succumb to mold and other diseases like mildew. Though a very simple plant, Celosia does need moderate soil moisture. 14137
Ow, ow
Hands out to your big ass
Here's a hundred beats a minute with the back sass
Thug Pop, Thug Pop
Checks in people with her pants in a bunch
James Dean and Hermie Fox
Ow, people try to blame me
Poets try the same
I'm tryin to hear from the mildew
To the barbeque on a hellbound train
Longshot? That's bitchin'
Served hot
Right from the rhythm kitchen
Perhaps you know my name
I'm called Thug Pop
Thug Pop
When the resurrection comes
There'll be a two drink minimum, wooh
Thug Pop, Thug Pop
Are you ready for some freestyle?
Undress, stay awhile
All right, let's go to the back
Woo
People try to blame me
Poets try the same
I'm tryin to hear from the mildew
To the barbeque on a hellbound train...
Longshot? That's bitchin'
Served hot
Right from the rhythm kitchen
Perhaps you know my name...
Wow
Oh, oh
People try to blame me
Poets try the same
I'm tryin to hear from the mildew
To the barbeque on a hellbound train
Longshot? That's bitchin'
Served hot
Right from the rhythm kitchen
Perhaps you know my name
I'm called Thug Pop
Perhaps you know my name
Perhaps you know my name
I'm called Thug Pop
~ There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing.
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.
Cold silence
has a tendency
to atrophy any
sense of compassion
between supposed lovers
I know the pieces fit... ~
Inspired by this awesome song:

We planted the perennial Jacob Cline Bee Balm (Monarda Didyma) last year. Apparently attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies.
I fiddled with curves to try to lessen the green background of tall wild grasses. A lot less vibrant than in reality. Love the rain!

This cornflower is a garden plant. Wikipedia writes about it: Centaurea montana may be distinguished from other Centaurea species in the region by its usually entire leaves, and the blue-purple colour of the outermost ray florets. It may be distinguished from the cornflower, Centaurea cyanus, by having a single (rarely up to three) flower heads, and by its being perennial, whereas the cornflower has many flower heads and is annual." You can't see the leaves here, but they are entire. This year, I have one or two Centaurea cyanus in the garden, because I used some kind of pollinator seed collection. But the Centaurea montana were there last year, and they spread to other places. I like these flowers, and the bumblebees love them, but they seem to carry mildew. Especially if the spring is warm and humid. Mildew on the other hand gives me Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata, the 22-spot ladybird. But it's a constant struggle to keep the mildew at bay. The problems were worse this year in comparison to last year. I don't want to cut and burn the Centaurea montana as a whole. Maybe I'll do that next year, if the situation is as bad as it was this year. The Centaurea montana would come back, even if I cut them.
The delicate flowers and foliage of Wild Chervil delight the heart even in a Cold Spring. 'Chervil' is said to go back on two Greek words signifying something like 'foliage delight'. Indeed, the fine-structured leaves and umbelliferous collections of tiny flowers are quite beautiful close-by and splendid fields make Spring bright and happy.
Small and delicate 22-Spot Ladybird likes to forage for Mildew on this and other umbrella flowers.
The Orange Ladybird (Halyzia sedecimguttata) on a maze-like porous surface of the Lumpy Bracket (Trametes gibbose) growing on live beech tree (Fagus sylvatica). Orange ladybirds feed on mildew on trees, so it might be the reason it visited this fungus. Beechwood. Lansdown, Bath, BANES, England, U.K.

if you like money and moss and mildew
but i like yellow and i'm a lucky fellow
This is one of two lions that grace the entrance to someone’s property. They are better than gargoyles, but I can also see a nice lantern lit up on either side...possibly even a lion holding a lantern. The lions both need cleaned of moss and mildew. I am sure there must a process to do just that. Until then these two scruffy lions stand guard. The pink flowers in the background are courtesy of a Crepe Myrtle tree.
To all my flickr friends - Just to let everyone know I'm not going to be around for a couple of weeks while I try and get myself into a routine based on worktime=work and playtime=play. Yes, I'm in flickr re-hab!
Look forward to seeing you all soon.
You see roses quite often in the vineyards here. They aren't planted in the vineyards because they are beautiful but because they serve as an early warning system. Roses attract insects like aphids before the vines. They also get fungal diseases like black rot and mildew before the vines do. So if the winegrower notices symptoms on the rose he may still have time to protect the vines.
The 95 ft Angelique ketch was built in 1980 to depict an English fishing trawler (circa 1880) that fished the North Sea. Her tanbark sails reflect the common practice in England to treat sails with tallow, tannic acid, and red ocher to make the cotton canvas more resistant to mildew. She does windjammer cruises out of Camden, Maine, but this day we saw her enjoying a fine wind near Bar Harbor. www.sailangelique.com/welcome-aboard/
Ladybirds are also known as ladybugs or ladybeetles. The adults are oval domed in form and are TINY, ranging in length from 1 to 10mm, depending on the species.
There are over 100 species in Australia and the vast majority are beneficial.
The fungus eating ladybird has very bold black and yellow colouration. Both adults and larvae feed on mildew fungus, which is a really common problem in gardens.
The orange ladybird (Halyzia sedecimguttata) has 12-16 white spots. It overwinters in leaf litter or sheltered positions on trees and eats mildews. Considered until 1987 an indicator of ancient woodland, it has become widespread since it became common on sycamores.
Yes, sadly 2 of our centaurea montana plants are full of mildew. This 22-spot ladybird is very happy about it. 22-spot ladybirds eat mildew. I've cut one centaurea montana and am leaving the other one for 22-spot ladybirds atm. I'm only here on vacation and will move probably here in July.

Although this was taken in April, it could have been taken any day since then! I like how the blue sky and white clouds are visible in both drops.
My sincerest apologies again for not getting to everyone and I have another busy day today...will do my best! HUGS to all who continue to support and encourage me!
The damp weather in Vancouver certainly offers up plenty of creative opportunities among photos of mold, mildew, decay and moss.
Unusual (for me) seed pod colors on a vine maple. I’m used to seeing the green ones. Anybody else stick them on your noses to be a rhinoceros when you were little? 😁 Note: the white isn’t mildew. I’m not sure what was blowing around with all the wind recently. Certainly the tree & grass pollen are high now.
