Plant of the Day

Tuesday 17 December 2024

The fruits of Clerodendrum trichotomum (harlequin glorybower) are very distinctive with berries that are at first bright blue and ultimately turn black whilst contrasting with the red calyces. This deciduous shrub or small tree has fragrant white flowers produced from midsummer to autumn. It thrives in a sheltered position in sun or partial shade.

Please recall the WIFI invitation my phone rec'd in the vicinity of 82nd & Burnside from the FBI Surveillance Van.  It turns out, that is the name someone gave their WIFI account.  It makes me chuckle each time I am cruising through the intersection and inspires me to change my own from Centurylink546 to Lichenland.  If I send out on the airwaves that this is lichenland, more lichen will certainly come my way.

Photo 1 is an archway that beckoned me.  Damn if only I were only 6 inches tall.  I am sure an entire enchanted land is just the other side of this portal.

Next is featured a gnarled Rhododendron and the mossy carpet at its base. The moss does seem to provide a nursery setting for lichen.  I was tempted to dig around a bit to see if the "leafy part' of the cladonia was obscured by the moss, or these thalia were on their own.  I resisted because it appeared the owners were at home.  Yeah me respecting property rights.

Last up are five photos of a Glorybower and cloaked it is.  This is just the trunk.  I circled it to show how different the sides are.  I don't say this lightly, but the variety and specialization is mind-boggling. Again, perhaps it wouldn't be if I had studied real science instead of political science, but I hadn't yet fallen in love with lichen.

The giant Elm across the street is releasing its papery pod things (that is science talk.)  Coupled with the wind it is resulting in a near blizzard.  One time I saw a baby funnel cloud of them in our intersection.

It is suppose to be near 80 today, this last day of April 2014, so I am off for a run (okay a trot) with my trusty iPhone ready to capture anything that that captures my eye, allowing me to pause and catch my breath, while it looks like I am doing something.
