Someone’s enjoying her Sunday
A white pitbull laying on her back on a white blanket. Her front feet are in the air with the paws bent. Her teeth are visible.

Carnivorous plants have evolved over and over again through millions of years. And while some get big, none have ever reached Audrey II size. In my latest for @smithsonianmag.bsky.social, I look into why. 🌱

Microgreens ready for harvest! My first batch seen all the way from seeding to sale.
Densely-packed microgreens in bright green and dark red colors. They are on a white mat in a black plastic tray. There is another tray at the edge of the photo on the left. The microgreens have two heart shaped leaves each and are about 3 inches tall

Loaches are introduced to the main tank! Trinity is the orange one who has been alone for far too long. Now she has four new wiggly friends fresh from quarantine.
Three small dojo loaches are in the foreground. They are long, thin, grey fish. In the background, behind a black plastic rectangle, is a large orange dojo loach that appears to be hiding. A large orange dojo loach and a small grey dojo loach sit next to each other with some green leaves in the foreground. A large orange dojo loach and a small grey dojo loach sit next to each other facing the camera. They are surrounded by aquatic detritus.
