I found a cool looking gothic subculture from this post here and I think it would make some awesome dividers (and it kinda reminds me of your blogs theme as well)

The UW biological department was having an open house today! So I got to check out all the fun pals!

Echinoderm party

Millipedes!

Musa velutina! The bananas are pink and fuzzy. :3

BIG BEAN

Their chocolate tree was fruiting! Fun fact: chocolate is fly-pollinated!

A real life celebrity! Welwitchia is here!

They have massive Hoyas as well. It’s cool going to the greenhouse and seeing mature specimens you usually only see as small houseplants!

What would you say the plant version of a beast is? Thank you.

ive mulled this over for a few days now because its like, i can either answer what i think the plant equivalent of the term 'beast' is or what plant i think embodies the term 'beast' the best, but in the end for both of them... i think welwitchia mirabalis

ive talked about these before, would give context but theres really not much to give. native to namibia and angola. can get to be a couple thousand years old. all the leaves are actually just two leaves that grow endlessly from the base and get shredded into strips that go everywhere over the plant's lifetime, so for instance the dying brown ends in this pic are significantly older than the newly-grown parts of the same leaf at the base. each plant is either male or female and makes funky cones to match. this one is 13 feet in diameter. looks like a pile of something. what are you gonna do

Nothing like a visit to an academic greenhouse to make your houseplant collection feel inadequate.

That's a variegated Welwitschia. There are like, three known in the world.

Welwitschia (Welwitschia mirabilis)

This plant grows two leaves and then just... keeps going. The same two leaves, for over a thousand years. It looks dead, but it’s thriving. The crypt keeper of the desert. The botanical definition of “you good?”
