#QueenAnnesLace (Daucus carota) looking gorgeously mathematical this afternoon, with creamy umbels fractally arranged in an imperfect but lovely octagonal form ๐
In the center is one tiny purple bloom.
It's an amazing edible #insectattractor, but like several other favorites of mine it's classified by our joyless local agri-bureaucrats as a noxious invasive weed ๐
Seen here thriving on a boiling hot day amid parched summer #grasses, southwest #WashingtonState, #PNW, USA.

Well, this is certainly a step in the right direction.
What exactly is a "functional grass #lawn," anyway? #Grass lawns are strictly #decorative, and therefore non-functional by definition. If a patch of grass has a legitimate function, then it's not a lawn. Native #grasses for #soil #erosion prevention? Functional. #Lawns and #golf courses? Non-functional.
Note to any butthurt #golfers out there:
A golf course is *not* a legitimate function of grass. Your #GolfBall will roll just fine on any moderately flat surface. Find a way to play your #SillyGame without #KillingThePlanet, or find a new silly game. #SorryNotSorry

An example of how the red fescue (Festuca rubra) spreads into nearby ground. New roots form along the stem and if the plant is disturbed, the newly rooted parts can form new plants.

I embellished this cyanotype of wildflowers and grasses on watercolour paper with a deckle edge with my linocut prints of moths on Japanese washi paper. The moths are all found here in Ontario: the yellow and purplish-pink Imperial moth (Eacles imperialis), the red-orange, black and cream Virgin Tiger Moth (Apantesis virgo), and the black and white White Underwing (Catocala relicta).

A wee update for my work on photographing the (mainly) #flowering #plants in our #CommunityWoodland . I have now summarised the #species and, as at 30 June, I had photographed:
53 #native species
18 #alien (#NonNative) plants
Giving a total of 71 species
Plus 6 species of #fungi and #lichen
There are masses of #grasses, fungi, lichen and #trees which are NOT included in this. Perhaps work for future projects?

"A reader of The Conversation recently wrote in to ask:
Why does grass grow slower in winter?
It is a great question and at first the answer might seem obvious. There is less sunlight and it is colder in the winter months. This affects grass and plant growth in general.
However, there is more to it than meets the eye. Different grasses respond to and cope with winter in different ways." #science #botany #grasses #grass #lawn #plants #photosynthesis

Thanks! I'm in NYC, so those can work for me.
I've had Lauren Brown's "Grasses" a long time. She has a newer book out I should get.
