On this last day of 2025 it’s time to be reflective of the year in #MyGarden what worked, what didn’t, and what could I do better. Here’s a cute #Kalanchoe I coaxed into bloom from my collection😍

Ces graphiques (mis à jour) sont édifiants et suffisent à démonter, chiffres à l’appui, des discours que l’on entend encore trop souvent : « il y a toujours eu des canicules en France, on vous ment » ou « il fait toujours froid en hiver ».

Erbar et al. (2016), “Aristolochia species are generally assumed to be brood-site fraudsters [that] simulate carrion or fungi.” They look & smell like a good place to lay eggs & are pollinated by ovipositing flies. 📷: A. arborea, which mimics fungi. #TropicalBotany #Aristolochiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Six On Saturday: End of year
I’ve not post for sometime now as my Mum had a period of poor health. She’s doing better now and is adjusting to her less mobile life. I’m hoping to be able to resume regular post…
