Preparing the container and materials for moving the Tupperware Bog experiment. I am still rehydrating some carnivorous plant earth and sphagnum moss I'd let dry and stored away. Hopefully on Sunday I can put it all together.

Wishing hard the forecasted week of night frosts will stay away - the fruit trees are about to copy the sakura and ume.

The Autumnalis sakura cherry blossom is in full bloom - wide open delicate white flowers covering naked branches against a grey sky. The pops of pink in the blurred background are the ume apricot/plum at the end of it’s bloom cycle. At least four types of bees have enjoyed these trees!

Pretty pansies.
The pansy is the February birth flower

Close-up, high-angle shot of pansies with prominent yellow and blue petals, and a dark, almost black center. The composition is centered on two main flowers in focus with shallower depth of field for background blooms.

The first violet. The chickens seems to have found it before I did.

A square cropped photo taken on March 11, 2025 of a Viola odorata flower that has one petal damaged from a bird or something. The color is violet. The lighting is poor due to couldy skies. There is winter lawn grass it grows out of that is brown and green. There is another blossom behind it facing away. The photo is taken from ground level.

It is one of a few that are the first violets to bloom this year in the southern Okanogan of Washington State. They exist because the lawn is not cared for by popular standards, it is cared for in the way so that it just exists how it should or how it can. The weeds are not killed or removed. It is not sprayed or fertilized. It is not a competition with a neighbor. It is not for the purpose of being sub-servant to anyone or anything. It just is what it is. There will be hundreds if not thousands of their flowers soon in this lawn. They mean more than most can even imagine even though to most it's just a flower, or a nice color. There are few thoughts into the moment the photo was taken, the human who took it, what was necessary to capture how it looked for only that one exact moment in all of time. Few thoughts given to it's story, it's existence, what it will become. But to me it is something that exists because my great grandmother planted it somewhere, she let it spread, and for generations it was allowed to exist. It wasn't dismissed, assumptions weren't made, it just spreads and becomes exactly what it is for more than a century.

cute bee flying to black flowers

1/3 How about #TinyFlowerTuesday? The first has not only small flower heads but those are made up of more, tinier flowers, like all Composites/Asteraceae (daisies, sunflowers etc). Saussurea cf S. iodostegia (meaning the original seed collector of this Asian species was not positive of the id, but thinks it's at least similar to that species).

Something has eaten the hell out of my Warrigal greens before I could. They seem to be springing back, but every mature leaf looks like it got devoured.

Tiny and very bare stem of a plant in the middle of fallen leaf mulch on the ground, with tiny little dark green leaf buds growing back on it

Cleaned up and moved the dormant Drosera paradoxa (sundew) into a new pot. It's in an open glass container until the ambient humidity in this room goes up. This one came out of dormancy mid going into late March last year (see link at https://layer8.space/@chillicampari/112169585969118118), but it can vary. As I am doing with a few other plants, I top dressed it with chopped fresh sphagnum moss that I keep in a jar.
