Just hoping to collect enough clout to fight an ICE Agent on a jake paul undercard.
Spider Lily, from a mountain stream near Puerto Vallarta (same river as the helicopter scene in predator actually) probably the prettiest flower i have ever laid my eyes on to date.

Couple pictures from the 5 beach hike I Mismaloya Jalisco, beautiful views of Puerto Vallartas bay, gotta earn them a bit and my berks were K.I.A. but worth it.

Mammillaria hahniana (I think?) I rescued this one from the dreaded lowes plastic flower shelf, almost murdered it trying to get the plastic flower and glue off. Turns out, Cactaceae don't need fake flowers and super glue to be pretty.

Only took me a decade, but I finally decided to take advantage of having a beehive, now I need to forage bay berries.

One out of 100 or so Marsh Mallow seeds I sprouted this year has a streak of variegation through it, and you can actually follow the line of variegation through the whole plant.

Just wanna take a moment to appreciate cuckoo wasps. These stingerless, heavy armor enjoying, kleptoparasitic solitary wasps lay their eggs in colonial wasp nests and ravage their larvae. Yet another reason, you should spend $5 on a solitary beehive, make your yard more buggy with cooler bugs.

Fun fact: some biologists theorize that the piebald gene mutation in whitetail deer is an evolution to better camouflage with Honda Ridgelines.

Been trying to get these to bloom for like 4 years and I have finally beat the rabbits, Amazing Grey poppy cultivar.

Probably like 4 or 5 years ago I started foraging by trying to find a few wild elderberry bushes and I ended up finding just about everything in my area except elderberry until today and I cannot even begin to describe how satisfying of a find that is at the end of a very stressful day.

These are New Englands native Orchid, the pink lady slipper orchid. Orchids are one of the most diverse species of flowering plants with over 25,000 different species and over 100,000 different cultivars. Most are aeroids, but lady slippers love boggy soil and rely on a mycelium colony for nutrients

Horse chestnut flowers, rosehip flower, and a wee little baby rock gunnel. I am also just now realizing that a rock gunnel is actually a ray finned fish rather than an eel, 28 years I've been telling people those were eels lmao.

Here's a few thousand Crassostrea virginica or Eastern/Atlantic Oyster seed. These lil goofballs are in there final stages of development at 2mm now, but only a few months ago they were microscopic, shell-less, hermaphroditic, bivalves, freely swimming in the water column. ~The 2027 harvest~

Sweat bees are probably the most adorable of all the solitary bees. They get their name (and their misinterpreted temper) from their reliance on the minerals in our sweat. The second most diverse bee species on the planet, dont panic if one hitch hikes a ride and a sweat sip, they are friends.

Cute lil starflower and a fungal gnat working part time as a pollinator. Supposedly, you can make a tea out of these (not the bugs, weirdo), but they also grow in the exact same place as tea berry, so ya know, no hard feelings starflower.

These worms get to like 6 feet long and they have fangs, imma stick to coffee.
