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. Eucalyptus is a genus of over seven hundred species of flowering trees, shrubs or mallees in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Along with several other genera in the tribe Eucalypteae, including Corymbia, they are commonly known as eucalypts. Plants in the genus Eucalyptus have bark that is either smooth, fibrous, hard or stringy, leaves with oil glands, and sepals and petals that are fused to form a cap or operculum over the stamens. The fruit is a woody capsule commonly referred to as a gumnut. Most species of Eucalyptus are native to Australia, and every state and territory has representative species. About three-quarters of Australian forests are eucalypt forests. Wildfire is a feature of the Australian landscape and many eucalypt species are adapted to fire, and resprout after fire or have seeds which survive fire. A few species are native to islands north of Australia and a smaller number are only found outside the continent. Eucalypts have been grown in plantations in many other countries because they are fast growing and have valuable timber, or can be used for pulpwood, for honey production or essential oils. In some countries, however, they have been removed because they are highly flammable. R_4228

30th January 2017:
Dreadful weather, wet cold and generally damp, so it was something inside for today's photo which is also my Macro Monday's photo too. Killed two birds with one stone and saved me from having to find 2nd thing to take.
This is the tuber that we use to make cigarettes, (the photo could also be a Macro Mondays for "Guilty Secrets," as I don't make it public that I'm a smoker).
I balanced it on the parasol pole for the garden table and do hope it's worked.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

This Dahlia is a member of the Cactus Dahlias which have the most exceptional blooms. With their spiky blooms, they can trace their lineage back to a single surviving plant grown from a crate of tubers imported into the Netherlands in 1872.
Fox squirrels are found throughout most of Florida except in the Keys. There are three subspecies of fox squirrels in Florida. The Big Cypress Fox Squirrel, Sciurus niger avicennia, is found from the Caloosahatchee River in Lee county south and then east to the southern part of Dade county. Sherman's Fox Squirrel, Sciurus niger shermani is found throughout most of the peninsula. The Carolina Fox Squirrel is found in the panhandle and northwards.
Contrary to two common names sometimes given to the Big Cypress Fox Squirrel -- Mangrove Fox Squirrel and Everglades Fox Squirrel -- it is not common in either mangrove or Everglades habitats. It is most common in open pinelands, live oak forests, and stands of bigger bald cypress.
Fox squirrels are found throughout the eastern and central United States, south into northern Mexico, and north into Canada. They have been introduced into urban areas in western North America as well.
Fox squirrels spend more time on the ground than gray squirrels and are slower moving. They forage for acorns, nuts, fruits, insects, mushrooms, buds and tubers, so they require habitats with an open understory. These include open pine flatwoods, sandhills, mixed pine-hardwood areas and rangeland interspersed with trees. In Florida, the fox squirrel may also be found in cypress stands and occasionally mangrove swamps.Further north, fox squirrels are found in a diverse array of deciduous and mixed forest. Areas with a good variety of tree species are preferred due to variability in mast production.
I found this one at Dinner Island Ranch Wildlife Management Area in Hendry County, Florida, in a large stand of Bald Cypress Trees, so I am guessing that it is a Big Cypress Fox Squirrel.
Tuber liked her rose petals much more than I thought she would.

Happy Independence Day from heavenly Tuber and I!
While I must have planted well over 20 of these wonderful Tecolote Ranunculus bulbs/tubers, it seems I can only find about 3 or so plants that have actually surfaced. That is so disappointing as they are such a delightful addition to the flower garden. Layer upon layer of crepe paper petals unfurl into such vibrant shades of color. This is my first to bloom this season....Orange Tecolote Ranunculus.
Happy Sunshine Sunday.....!

The ornamental sweet potato is a decorative annual vine with large, light green leaves, and yes, it does produce a (presumably edible) tuber. Decided to save it to photograph as we cleaned out the garden this weekend.
Des fruits de mon asclépiade tubéreuse (Asclepias tuberosa). Cette plante de mon jardin 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.
The Trifola d'Or International Truffle Fair returned to Murisengo (Alessandria), in the heart of Monferrato, on 16 and 23 November 2025. This edition was called ‘international’ for the first time, but the spirit remained the same: a celebration of the white truffle (Tuber magnatum), its unmistakable aroma and the land that protects it. In the village at the foot of the castle, nestled in the hills of Piedmont, over a hundred stands were set up by truffle hunters, local producers and gourmets. The truffles, guaranteed by the National Truffle Research Centre in Alba, were the focus of tastings, award ceremonies and sensory seminars.

Präsentation der Gewinnertrüffeln
Die Internationale Trüffelmesse Trifola d'Or kehrte am 16. und 23. November 2025 nach Murisengo (Alessandria), im Herzen des Monferrato, zurück . Diese Ausgabe trug erstmals den Namen „international“, doch der Geist blieb derselbe: die Feier des weißen Trüffels (Tuber magnatum), seines unverwechselbaren Aromas und des Landes, das ihn schützt. In dem Dorf am Fuße der Burg, eingebettet in die Hügel des Piemont, präsentierten sich über hundert Stände von Trüffelsuchern, lokalen Produzenten und Feinschmeckern. Die vom Nationalen Trüffelforschungszentrum Alba garantierten Trüffeln standen im Mittelpunkt von Verkostungen, Preisverleihungen und sensorischen Seminaren.

Il tubero è commestibile ...
per questo è anche chiamato patata topinambur.
Introdotto dall'America non tanto per la solare fioritura …
ma al pari delle patate, per il consumo dei suoi gustosi tuberi.
In questo periodo … da noi ce ne sono a migliaia !!!

I crocus sono piccole piante che presentano bulbo-tuberi di piccole dimensioni, circa 3-5 cm di diametro; sono presenti in natura in Asia ed in Europa ed anche nei boschi Italiani possiamo vederne sbocciare alcune delle circa cento specie diffuse allo stato selvatico. Sono bulbose di coltivazione molto facile, infatti non temono il freddo invernale, e poiché in estate sono in completo riposo vegetativo non temono nemmeno il caldo estivo o la siccità. Ogni bulbo-tubero produce uno o due fiori dalla forma a coppa, alti circa 5-10 cm; contemporaneamente al fiori il cormo produce anche piccole foglie lineari, arcuate, di colore verde scuro, leggermente arcuate, caratterizzate da una venatura centrale bianca. I fiori di crocus esistono di colore bianco, giallo oro, o viola, e sono disponibili anche varietà a fiore variegato.
Questo esemplare è stato fotografato in un prato sul lago di Garda.

33025 has just crested the grade up towards Buckley station with the Ruby Vampire shuttle from Wrexham to Dee Marsh Sidings. The Ruby Vampire had suffered a minor derailment in the sidings and after several hours the 33 took a single coach load of passengers to Wrexham prior to returning to collect more stranded folk. The chap on the platform was videoing proceedings so myself, Jim, Rob and Jamie formed our tried and tested stack formation to record the approach, the video can be seen here www.youtube.com/watch?v=F992KoFwa94 with a cameo role for the four of us....

"The Floating Tuberplant is superbly adapted; the drooping, glowing bladders filled with a complex symbiotic bacteria and fungi provide ballast and the nutrients the plant can not generate itself, the bag like tubers gather lighter than air gases. You can even walk on them!"

I went to The Sage Gateshead on Sunday the 25th of October and was shocked to see huge crowds around the building. These crowds were for a guy called Joe Sugg who is apparently a vlogger / blogger / you tuber and he must be doing well at this judging from the crowds. The guy has also produced a book called Username Evie which people were buying lots of. Young ladies where going in to see him with their books and coming out sobbing. I have never seen anything like this in my life and had to take a few shots. Please share these with anybody there on the day.

L'anemone blanda è una pianta con radice tuberosa a foglie caduche; in aprile-maggio produce numerosissimi fiori a margherita di colore bianco, rosa, lilla o blu, con centro giallo; la fioritura dura alcune settimane, e solitamente gli anemoni vengono interrati a mazzi, in modo da creare una macchia di colore nel giardino. Le foglie sono di colore verde scuro, profondamente lobate. Si comportano da tappezzanti, crescendo di numero di anno in anno, crescono circa 15-20 cm in altezza e 7-10 cm in larghezza.
Gli anemoni si adattano a tutte le condizioni di luce, preferendo comunque almeno alcune ore di sole al giorno, spesso all'ombra completa producono pochi fiori. Non temono il freddo, poiché il tubero trascorre l'inverno in riposo vegetativo; nei periodi freddi si possono lasciare a dimora, anche perché spesso mostrano uno sviluppo migliore a partire dal secondo anno dall'impianto. Il posto migliore per porre a dimora gli anemoni spesso si rivela la base di alberi o arbusti a foglia caduca, in questo modo avranno sole pieno in inverno e primavera e mezz'ombra nei periodi più caldi dell'anno.

Tubérculo de copo-de-Leite, da variedade de flores "Amarelas", uma planta bulbosa muito elegante. Suas folhas também são altamente decorativas. É uma planta que, como as demais, necessita de água, no entanto, nunca em excesso, preferindo solos úmidos mas não saturados. Produz flores o ano todo, exceto no inverno em regiões extremamente frias.
Plantar os bulbos diretamente no solo ou em vasos, com os pequenos brotos para cima, em local com bastante claridade, levemente cobertos de terra, tomando o máximo de cuidado para não "quebrar" as gemas, pois, se danificadas não rebrotarão. Cada bulbo contém de 2 a 9 gemas. A altura da planta poderá variar entre 50 a 60 cm.
As flores encontram-se na ponta dos pendões florais, em forma de cornetas abertas para cima e em seu centro tem um "bastão" no tamanho e espessura de um dedo mínimo.
O Copo-de Leite Color, bulbos destinados unicamente para cultivo ornamental.

Tuber glass-of-milk, the variety of flowers "Yellow", a bulbous plant very elegant. Its leaves are also highly decorative. It is a plant that, like all others, needs water, however, never in excess, preferring moist soils but not saturated. It produces flowers throughout the year, except in winter in extremely cold regions.
Planting bulbs directly in the ground or in pots with small shoots upward in place with enough light, lightly covered with earth, taking the utmost care not to "break" the gems, because if damaged will not grow up again... Each bulb containing 2-9 buds. Plant height may vary between 50 and 60 cm.
The flowers are tassels at the tip of floral-shaped horns open upwards and in its center has a "bat" on the size and thickness of a finger.
The Milk Cup-Color bulbs intended solely for ornamental cultivation.
