If anyone is interested in unusual flowers or terrible smells, Dundee Botanical Gardens has a titan arum in flower today! I had the whole greenhouse to myself earlier- just me, the plants and the smell.

Checked if the forsythia was ready to bring in to force flowering- wasn't expecting to see this weird fasciated growth! Not sure how decorative it would look in a vase...

I'm both very happy about the concept of this and slightly disappointed I didn't get a mycorrhizal fungus.. I'm on oysterling, apparently.
Did you know we're all placed onto different Bluesky servers, and they're named after mushrooms??

You can find out what mushroom server you're on by looking yourself up on Clearsky clearsky.app

I'm team oyster mushroom. 🦪🍄
