This was my first encounter with a snake while bush-walking with the camera in Yunnan and it is quite a mesmerizingly beautiful creature. Snakes (and the potential implications of encountering snakes) is not something I have paid much heed to here unlike in Australia where it pays to be extremely vigilant anywhere you go. I am sure I have been close to snakes on numerous occasions without seeing them. This one paid me little attention and as you can see I got quite close, perhaps foolishly. The tree vipers are quite venomous with a potent haemotoxin and the most common cause of snakebite in Taiwan, for example.

This shot makes me laugh, because I probably look like this for 10 minutes, then my makeup stars to fade. And My mascara smudges...

I love the purplish blossom and the overarching shadow in this composition. Nature's subtleties and surprises!
The Bauhinia Tree is also called the Orchid Tree. Imagine looking out your back door and seeing a tree simply covered with these glorious blossoms!
I love the delicate creamy stamens on their rosy filaments and the play of light and shadow they create on the pink and rose veins of its petals.
In Brazil, a Bauhinia known as pata de vaca ("the foot of the cow") has a leaf shaped like a cow's cleft hoof. Known to Brazilians as "vegetable insulin," this herb's greatest strength is its ability to balance blood sugar levels. Friendly to those coping with hyperglycemia (excessively high blood glucose levels), pata de vaca also helps combat polyuria, the frequent urination that often plagues diabetics. Possessing antibacterial, antifungal and anticandida properties, this green medicine cleanses the blood of these unwanted disease-causing agents. Pata de vaca has also earned a reputation as a reliable remedy for snakebites and several skin conditions.

Hi,
here my version of the beast. Painted for my nurgle army. The green armour is made with death world forest, elysian green and ogryn camo. I used black and purple washes, finished with a thin layer of yellow glaze. The necrotic flesh is made of a mixture hormagant purple and tallarn flesh. I used purple and red washes and overall some weathering powder. the gold is made with snakebite leather brushed with golden griffon.....see also other pics....
Cheers

Hame
Phyllanthaceae (Phyllanthus family)
Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands (Oʻahu (Waiʻanae Mountains and the southeast Koʻolau Mountains), east Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi (Maunalei Valley), Maui, and Hawaiʻi Island.)
Oʻahu (Cultivated), Oʻahu form (pictured here regeneration)
These seedlings came up through the leave litter below the mother tree. These are found in several small patches around my Hawaiian Fern Garden area. As opportunistic feeders, I theorize that in the ancient forests of the Hawaiian Islands, the now extinct land crabs (Geograpsus severnsi) would have kept the number of seedlings in check.

One source notes:
"Hawaiian land crabs were the most land-adapted crab species in the Pacific, their fossils found farther inland and at higher elevations than others. They were the largest of its genus, Geograpsus, and were important predators in the flora and fauna of the Hawaiian Islands, taking seeds, plants, small invertebrates, and small nesting seabirds." **
Hawaiian Names:
Other names for this species are Hamehame, Haʻā, Haʻāmaile, Mehame, and Mehamehame.*

The wood is very hard, strong and durable. And being one of the heaviest native woods, it sinks in water.
Early Hawaiians, therefore, used for tools such as kapa tools, hut beams, javelins or spears, digging sticks (ʻōʻō), and scraping boards for olonā.
Medicinally, early Hawaiians chewed and swallowed hame leaves for vomiting spells. The bark, mixed with other plants, was used as a wash for ulcers and scrofulous sores.
Hawaiians used the red-brown wood for kapa (tapa) beaters that were used to beat out olonā (Touchardia latifolia) fiber.
The red fruit juice mixed with kamani oil (Calophyllum inophyllum) was used to make a bright red dye for kapa cloth, particularly for the malo (loincloth).
Etymology
The generic name Antidesma is derived from the Greek anti, against, and desma, literally headband, but used by J. Burman, friend and correspondent of Carl Linnaeus, Swedish botanist, to mean poison; the name was intended to refer to the use of a plant in the genus against snakebite.
The specific epithet pulvinatum is from the Latin pulvinatus, cushion-like or -shaped.

* Mehamehame. A similar spelling, Mēhamehame, with kahakō over the first "e," is the name of its very rare cousin Flueggea neowawraea.

Ever wondered what people did for fun in Cooktown at the turn of the 20th century?
COOKTOWN'S CHAMPION.
A TALE FROM THE PAST.
COOKTOWN, November 17.
The recent news items appearing in the newspapers of Australia, telling of the quantaties of bananas eaten by variou people, have aroused the Cooktown champion, Mr. Mick Feinn, to assert his rights and claim the title of champion banana eater.
Feinn ate over 13 dozen bananas inside three hours, the period including a couple of rests. The story of the contest, which is vouched for by several reliable residents of the district, is as follows:-
The late Harry Connors, hearing of a claim by a man in the South that he could eat more bananas than any one else, issued a challenge and said that he would back Mick Feinn for £50, or even £100, to eat bananas against any man in or out of the Cook district.
In the district was a New Zealander named Tom Baldwick. Baldwick's uncle, Mr. Thomas McLean, of Cooktown, took up the challenge. Both Connors and McLean produced the stakes, £50, which were held by a bank manager, Mr. Charles North.
Feinn said he would start off scratch and beat Balwick. Several others enterd the contest to try for the big money and Connor stood on a side bet of £200 that Feinn would eat the whole field out.
The contest was held in Mr. George Walmsley's billiard rooms in Charlotte-street at 9 a.m. on a day over 25 years ago. One of the competitors was Mr. Barney Worth, a cab driver of Cooktown and the world's fattest man, whose gastronomic ability was astounding and who was particularly fond of bananas. Worth had never tested his capacity for the fruit, so he was given a start of six dozen.
DOZEN FOR DOZEN.
Feinn, being the challenger's man, made the start and the competitors ate dozen for dozen. At the end of each dozen the first to finish waited for the next man to catch up and then the game went on again. None of the competitors, with the exception of Feinn, Baldwick and Worth, reached the third dozen. The bananas were from six to seven inches long.
The result of the contest was: Feinn, 13 dozen and two; Baldwick, 10 dozen and one; Worth, eight dozen and six (including the start of six dozen, so that he actually ate two and a half dozen).
When the contest was over Feinn was rushed and placed in a chair and the late Jack Summerhayes, a butcher of Cooktown, tied him in with strings of sausages and decorated him with black and white puddins. A procession was held from Walmsley's rooms to the wharf and back through the town to Feinn's home at the foot of Mount Cook. Mick was chaired all the way.
None of the contestants had eaten any bananas that day and had done no training, but Feinn said that he could not have eaten another banana. He was replete, but not ill. Half an hour after the contest Baldwick was violently ill and in great pain.
Two days after the contest Feinn was hard at work loading 27 pack horses and taking a bunch of bananas along with him "in case of snakebite."
From the Cairns Post, Thursday 18 November 1937.
Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite
and furthermore always carry a small snake.

Monarch (Danaus plexippus) on white snakeroot (Ageratina altissima). I have been waiting all summer for the white snakeroot that the monarchs love and finally they arrived!
White snakeroot is a poisonous perrenial herb containing the toxin tremetol. When cattle eat the plant, the milk and meat of the cow are contaminated. If humans consume the meat they could get milk sickness, which killed thousands of European American settlers in the early 1800's. However, a poultice made from the root of this plant may be used on snakebites, where white snakeroot gets its name.
Tricky situation: This was a juvenile cobra. Very aggressive with quick continuous strikes as expected with juveniles. While shooting he came straight between my legs .Had to stand still for some time, distract his attention and turn around to shoot him from top angle with half squat between my legs .

A female green anole was hunting on top of the pink hibiscus shrubs the other day - I watched her capture a fly.
The hibiscus will bloom soon with hundreds of giant pink blossoms. Bugs love these perennial shrubs even before they bloom. If you live where these hibiscus can survive the winter - go plant some!
