i groow yoour foOOod. tempt me noot.

Your name is RUELLA TOISAR and you are a XENOBOTANIST on the class B battle cruiser LEVIATHAN. Which basically means you grow and study plants and for practical purposes. Preferably plants from conquered worlds, thus putting the xeno in xenobotanist. You especially adore CARNIVOROUS FLORA and VINES, and the only thing better than those two things is those two things together. You happen to have something like that living in your block. And the waste disposal system. You are 24 sweeps old and still young. (( a Distrait Life of Mistakes fantroll rp blog))

I introduce to you the wild world of the genus Ceropegia. Distant relatives of milkweeds, these strange vines are native to parts of Africa, southern Asia, and Australia. Though quite varied, the floral morphology functions as a pollinator trap. Lured in by the scent, unsuspecting flies become trapped down inside the flower by downward pointing hairs. After sufficient time to guarantee pollinia have been attached, the hairs wither and the flies are free to fall into the same trap on another plant.

The mystery of hair ice, a fungus that grows on dead wood

This unusual phenomenon occurs during a perfect storm of rotten wood of high-latitude trees at cool temperatures. They’re also elusive, growing primarily at night and melting by morning. The study, published in Biogeosciences, revealed the cobwebby filaments grow with the help of a specific fungus called Exidiopsis effusa (and some mad-cap physics).

REBLOG IF YOU ARE HELLA BORED AND WOULDN’T MIND SOME CURIOUS ANONS.

[wanderingtendril]

Do you know off any humidity-orriented plants which poison is strrong enough to kill a bearr-sized wolff? It's the annual day off dirre-wolff attacks on my planet and I'm contemplating putting the things into extinction. To hell with ecosystems; only Alterrnia has the rright of having canines one can rride to battle.

there are several, and certainly many moore than i am aware oof

thoough if it’s a woolf yooure trying too exterminate, maybe yoou shoould recooncider yoour plan here… carnivoores doont really doo death salad

[askcolorfulsights]

I don’t want the dirre-wolves to eat them; I want the dirre-wolves to step on them, howl in pain, then die.

Is that still possible?

[wanderingtendril]

anything is poossible!

if they’re too step oon the thing, yoou’ll want soomething with spines. a succulent oor thistle… wait noo. nettles

nettles’ hoolloow hairs already have histamine too irritate and acetylchooline too burn. introoducing a neurootooxin too that sooup shoouldnt be toOOo hard

Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.

[jumpingjacktrash]

the reason it’s rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can’t get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. so if you see a plant as big as the one in the picture that doesn’t have any green in its leaves, it’s getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighboring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant’s photosynthesis.

albino plants are basically vampires.

//So, this is what I’ve been working on since… Wednesday? When I got a major kick in the CriiEq feels by a certain SOMEONE who may or may not be our squirrelly overlord.

Anyway, have some schoompy dorks. Yes, Crii looks tiny. Equius has like two feet on her at any given time in the Distrait timeline.

[wanderingtendril]

((I like this because I always picture crii being enormous, and Equius is enormous too, so now I'm just imagining how very dwarfed every one else must be next to crii))

[sixpenceee]

Diphylleia grayi also known as the skeleton flower. The petals turn transparent with the rain.

Kami, are warrioor alpacas really a thing

i grab my friend and yell OH MY GOD HAVE YOU SEEN THIS VINE, my friend turns around; i am holding an excellent specimen of vitis coignetiae, we are botanists

[wanderingtendril]

all food comes from colonies .... The notion of growing their own food aboard a ship is considered an unthinkable extravagance that serves only to waste valuable resources, like water and air.

well, shit

[wanderingtendril]

(( I mentioned on Skype, but I don't think many people actually log surf, so here's notice that rather than blog over all the old stuff or delete it, I made fresh blogs for the eventual reboot.

The original blogs for Ruella and Ardmes are now thewanderingTendril and theperegrineBeneficiary

You'll have to watch wanderingTendril and peregrineBeneficiary if you want to keep tabs on new stuff))
