La xia (Salvia hispanica) és una de les moltes espècies que s'han introduït al nostre país arrel del seu us alimentari (en aquest cas les llavors són emprades en productes de fleca i altres aliments). Per això no ens ha d'estranyar que sobretot la localitzem als sorrals dels rius, aigües avall de les depuradores, on arriben les granes a través de les aigües residuals.

It's #ThripsThursday and I've learned about a new plant to check for thrips: lamb's ear (_Stachys byzantina_)!

I am familiar with wool carder bees using it, but didn't think to look for other bugs on it.

These were just in people's front yards and they could easily have seen me suspiciously scoping out their plants and accosted me, and if so I was *totally* ready to enthuse at them about thrips. Perhaps sensing this, no one did.

Cuál es el #árbol más extraño del mundo y dónde se encuentra

En los rincones de #África #oriental se esconde este tesoro botánico apenas conocido: la #Karomia #gigas, y es una especie muy singular. Pertenece a las plantas de la familia #Lamiaceae, y se encuentra, aunque en muy pequeños grupos, en los bosques de #Kenia y #Tanzania. No solo es raro, sino que también es extremadamente escaso.

Continued thread
@plants Eight weeks ago I was wondering if I would ever see flowers on chia plants in my small garden. At that time there was 13h 35m between sunrise and sunset. Today we have just 9h 33m, and even if we add the two twilight zones the days are short. And isn't that a bud on a chia plant? 😻

The temperatures are less than 11°C these days, so I doubt that the plants will produce viable seeds, but what a delight if I can finaly see its flowers in vivo.

Will they every bloom, I wonder. Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook says that Salvia hispanica is a “short-day flowering plant”, which will not happen here in Denmark until 3+ weeks from now, and meanwhile the temperatures are dropping. The plants are over 1 m tall at this point, so I'd rather not take the pot inside.

Anyway, a couple of bush crickets have been enjoying the forest for a good while now, so that's a reward in itself.

Die Rote Taubnessel ist unsere Pflanze des Monats Mai!

In ihren Kronröhren finden zahlreiche Insekten schmackhaften Nektar, auch für den Menschen ist die Pflanze im Wildkräutersalat essbar.

Die Art ist konkurrenzschwach, man findet sie im Grünland an offenem Boden ohne geschlossene Grasnarbe entlang von Wegen und natürlich in Gärten und Weinbergen. Den schlechten Ruf als Unkraut im heimischen Gemüse- und Blumenbeet hat die Rote Taubnessel sicher nicht verdient.

Hello, I'm Josh - how are you?

In a past life I was conducting research for a #phd in #invasionecology but now a #conservation officer protecting our most threatened #invertebrates in the 12th worst place for biodiversity decline, #northernireland.

Some #entomology and associated focus for me has included #solitarybees , #wasps and #opiliones. Big fan of plants, especially #Lamiaceae and #Orobanchaceae.

Also do a bit of #macrophotography & encourage biological recording.
