No fungi today, but I had to give some love to all the wildflowers in the park.
Pictured we have:
Cutleaf daisy 》 Engelmannia peristenia (1st image)
Fire wheel 》 Gaillardia pulchella (2nd image)
And of course, Texas Bluebonnets 》 Lupinus texensis 💙
I wasn't able to identify the little butterfly that was resting in that flower, but the little fella is just adorable.
No prairie fire 》 Castilleja indivisa (my favorite native wildflower) in this spot but my god, the roadsides on my drive to school are alive and bursting with colors. It really cheers me up after a rough day.

How did Sol recreate a new Fire Wheel Mk-II while in freefall in Revelator? Didn't he originally build it from scratch since it had a Mana Engine installed on it and relied on Zeal for fuel? How could he just materialize a new one like that?
Fire Wheel was originally one of his servants (summoned from a Masterghost projection of his Soul). It was thanks in part to Izuna that he now had such a power.
Daisuke describes Servants and Familiars as something like a Stand (JoJo in other words) and while the inner components of a Servant are still a mystery in how they work, it’s still something that can function and interact with this world’s physical rules.
And since Mana Fuel like Zeal is a kind of processed magic already, it’s not a big stretch to say something like a Magic Servant can still use it.
The first time Sol tapped in to his summoning powers, his body felt drained as he was using powers his Gear body wasn’t used to… but as time went on, he practiced and got better at using Servants and even modifying their composition, hence why Firewheel Mk II looks so different.

“Fire Wheel”
What do you think about Sol's new Fire-Wheel MK.II bike? (FYI, Suzaku from dustloop confirmed its name)
Bit of trivia, but the Fire Wheel was an Elite Melee Servant of Sol’s in GG2 Overture.
He seems to be tapping in to his powers a bit!
The Fire Wheel had two special attacks to my knowledge: “Lead Out” and “Burning Orchestra”.
I suppose Sol will be getting the ‘lead out’ of his new bike!
