Plant of the Day

In autumn Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii (Chinese lantern) produce orange-scarlet berries enclosed by papery, red lanterns. The plants thrive in a well-drained soil, they can be difficult to establish but can also be considered invasive. A new cultivar I recently saw at a plant sale was Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii ‘Monstrosum’ with fruits that have been transformed into bizarre, contorted orange chilli-like structures.

Grown in pots the Physalis peruviana (Cape gooseberry, Inca berry) is a branching, herbaceous perennial with hairy leaves and small, yellow flowers with chocolate-brown centres. The fruit are edible with a high Vitamin C content, and the orange berries are each enclosed in a papery, lantern-shaped husk.

what if we were portugese man of war
This is all gonna be an autism fuelled rant abt the portugese man o war
These things are so cool. You ever heard of a colonial organism? These things are made up of zooids of BOTH polyps and medusae!! (Example, medusae make up jellyfish entirely and polyps make up anemone entirely) They're a fucking colony baby!!!
They're labeled as left handed or right handed based on which way their sail chambers curve, which completely changes the direction the wind takes them!! They're free floating, so the wind direction means a whole lot of difference. Like, yk how these things are infamous for being beached in mass amounts, stinging everyone on the sand? Well those masses likely all have the same handedness! All the men o war whos sail chambers that curved the other way in their bloom were taken a completely different direction!!
forgive me if i explained something wrong I'm not an expert I'm just autistic
