The Polymorphic Plastic Parade (Tipi tour 09), www.plasticparade.org/ came to Austin. The members of the project had a discussion about the project at the MASS Gallery.

 

This was very interesting. It was a great idean and I enjoyed discovering how the idea came about and how they accomplished it.

Highdown Gardens near Worthing, West Sussex ...

 

Caltha palustris, known as Marsh Marigold and Kingcup, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the family Ranunculaceae, native to marshes, fens, ditches and wet woodland in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

 

It becomes most luxuriant in partial shade. It is rare on peat. In the United Kingdom, it is probably one of the most ancient native plants, surviving the glaciations and flourishing after the last retreat of the ice, in a landscape inundated with glacial melt waters.

 

The flowers are yellow, with 4-9 (mostly 5) petal-like sepals and many yellow stamens. They appear in early spring to late summer. The flowers are visited by a great variety of insects for pollen and for the nectar secreted from small depressions, one on each side of each carpel. Hoverflies, bees, butterflies and dragonflies love the flowers.

 

Carpels form into green sac-like follicles to 1 cm long, each opening to release several seeds.

 

Caltha palustris is a highly polymorphic species, showing continuous and independent variation in many features. Forms in the UK may be divided into two subspecies: Caltha palustris subsp. palustris, and Caltha palustris subsp. minor.

 

It is sometimes considered a weed in clay-like garden soils, where every piece of its root will survive and spread. In warm free-draining soils, it simply dies away. It grows well as a pond marginal, or in the water with up to 4" of water above the basket.

 

As is the case with many members of the family Ranunculaceae, all parts of the plant are poisonous and can be irritant. Skin rashes and dermatitis have been reported from excessive handling of the plant. It is known to sometimes kill cows and will happily grow in cow manure.

Butterflies have a four-stage life cycle, as like most insects they undergo complete metamorphosis. Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed, pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs out, and after its wings have expanded and dried, it flies off. Some butterflies, especially in the tropics, have several generations in a year, while others have a single generation, and a few in cold locations may take several years to pass through their entire life cycle.

 

Butterflies are often polymorphic, and many species make use of camouflage, mimicry, and aposematism to evade their predators.[1] Some, like the monarch and the painted lady, migrate over long distances. Many butterflies are attacked by parasites or parasitoids, including wasps, protozoans, flies, and other invertebrates, or are preyed upon by other organisms. Some species are pests because in their larval stages they can damage domestic crops or trees; other species are agents of pollination of some plants. Larvae of a few butterflies (e.g., harvesters) eat harmful insects, and a few are predators of ants, while others live as mutualists in association with ants. Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts. The Smithsonian Institution says "butterflies are certainly one of the most appealing creatures in nature".[2]

A species of wader in the Haematopodidae family. It is endemic to New Zealand. The Maori name is torea-pango. They are also known as 'red bills'. "Variable" refers to the frontal plumage, which ranges from pied through mottled to all black. They are polymorphic meaning they have different genetic variants. Blacker birds are more common in the south. All Stewart Island variable oystercatchers are black. They have pink legs, an orange eye ring and red beaks. They are often seen in pairs on the coast all around New Zealand. During breeding, the pair will defend their territory, sometimes aggressively. Once mated pairs rarely divorce. After breeding they may be seen within flocks, or on the edges of flocks, of black and white South Island Pied Oystercatcher (SIPO) which also have vivid orange beaks. After breeding they may even form small flocks of their own. Males are around 678 grams and females slightly larger at around 724 grams.

Sinónimo de Viburnum betulifolium, pero diferente. Esta es una de las especies más polimórficas, quizás incluyendo muchas razas geográficas. Existe un patrón de variación muy complicado entre las diferentes razas geográficas en la ausencia o presencia y densidad de la pubescencia en la yema de invierno, el tubo del cáliz y la corola, y en el tamaño de la corola y el fruto, en la textura y forma de la hoja, en presencia o ausencia de pubescencia en la superficie de la hoja adaxial, y en presencia o ausencia de puntos glandulares y de pubescencia estrellada en la superficie de la hoja abaxial. Por tanto, es muy difícil identificar las diferentes razas geográficas. En iturraran se encuentra en la zona 3.

 

Synonym of Viburnum betulifolium, but different. This is a most polymorphic species, perhaps including many geographic races. There exists a very complicated variation pattern among the different geographic races in the absence or presence and density of the pubescence on the winter bud, calyx tube, and corolla, and in the size of the corolla and fruit, in the texture and shape of the leaf, in the presence or absence of pubescence on the adaxial leaf surface, and in the presence or absence of glandular dots and of stellate pubescence on the abaxial leaf surface. Thus, it is very difficult to identify the different geographic races. In iturraran is found in area 3.

Cavansite, whose name is derived from its chemical composition, calcium vanadium silicate, is a deep blue hydrous calcium vanadium phyllosilicate mineral, occurring as a secondary mineral in basaltic and andesitic rocks along with a variety of zeolite minerals. Discovered in 1967 in Malheur County, Oregon, cavansite is a relatively rare mineral. It is polymorphic with the even rarer mineral, pentagonite. It is most frequently found in Poona, India and in the Deccan Traps, a large igneous province.

Secondary corms or cormels are suitable for human consumption. Cormels' shape are rather polymorphic with elongated bottle-shaped and some having egg-shaped which aptly the Malays called the plant "Keladi telur", aside the regular harvesting of the cormels similar to collecting chicken eggs over an extended period of time. Mature cormels are much tastier and starchy when cooked compared to the younger ones.

»96 DETAILS« is suite of artistic modules, a creative trip designed by Compagnie Mulleras (France), directed by choreographers Magali and Didier Mulleras, one of the first artists which enabled the setting in visibility of Dance on the Internet network. This project proposes a fusion and interaction of distinct universes (dance, music, video, interactive and multimedia works) in polymorphic results, where body and dance are hustled by a fragmentation made possible by new Medias.

POISONOUS

All parts of the plant are poisonous, containing cyanogenic glycosides(hydrogen cyanide). In small quantities, hydrogen cyanide has been shown to stimulate respiration and improve digestion, it is also claimed to be of benefit in the treatment of cancer. In excess, however, it can cause respiratory failure and even death. This species is polymorphic for cyanogenic glycosides. The flowers of some forms of the plant contain traces of prussic acid and so the plants can become mildly toxic when flowering. They are completely innocuous when dried.

 

No known Edible uses.

 

MEDICINAL USES: Anti-inflammatory, Antispasmodic, Cardiotonic, Carminative, Febrifuge, Hypoglycemic, Restorative, Sedative, Tonic, Vermifuge

 

Carminative, febrifuge, hypoglycemic, restorative, vermifuge. The flowers are antispasmodic, cardiotonic and sedative. The root is carminative, febrifuge, restorative and tonic. The plant is used externally as a local anti-inflammatory compress in all cases of skin inflammation.

 

OTHER USES: Dye, Yellow-orange, Green-manure

 

An orange-yellow dye is obtained from the flowers. A useful green manure plant, fixing atmospheric nitrogen. It is difficult to see this plant as a useful green manure, it is fairly slow growing and does not produce much bulk

A male of this rather big Anthophora species. The midbasitarsal brush is quiet characteristic as in most Anthophora. The females are slightly polymorphic, with two forms occurring in the Aegean region. The females have a strong preference for early spring Labiatae (Lamiaceae) flowers, like Salvia. Males are also often found on early spring Fabaceae, which are less often visited by the females.

I was a biology geek in school and we a good few trips counting snails , drawing diagrams ...they probably get to play with digi cameras now Sigh...... but if you care a brief and overly simply bio lesson ......all these snail in pictures are the same species Cepaea nemoralis it gets studied a lot in biology cos its polymorphic (within the species it has many physical forms ). On grassland you tend to find just the pale ones, cos the darker snails are very visible to feeding birds and therefore fail to pass on their genes to the next generation . But you get wildly differing types in structually diverse environments like this wood the banding good camouflage for the "stripeys" hanging out on the knots while the "pale snails" prefer the leaves .
