I've enjoyed your wisdom so much lately! Thank you for sharing it!!! I'm learning about plant propagation in general... Is that ring at the base of a clove the same thing as a rhizome?

This is amazing info to me. I've been growing garlic at a hobby level for ages and never knew how the bulbs develop. Thank you for sending me down a garlic education rabbit hole!
Came here to say Parasaurolophus. Apparently one well-preserved specimen allowed scientists to take a stab at what it sounded like... I wish I could hear what the soundscape was like 65 million years (or more) ago! https://piped.video/watch?v=QtpSOpUDCb8
I'm happy you're here. I'm new-ish to Lemmy too, but I'm pretty timid about posting. There are a handful of users I see posting regularly and they're absolute pillars of the community. So I say go ham! If anyone gets tired of your awesome antics, they can just mute you.
Your stance brings me joy. I'm adopting it.
Subnautica has a long and beautiful OST. It's been a long-time favorite of mine, and just a great instrumental jam to fuel my creativity lately. Stardew has my other favorite game soundtrack!
I thought about the rust too. Wouldn't that mean their bite could give you tetanus on top of the hellish bacterial cocktail they have in their saliva?
And bloodworms have copper teeth! I guess they get it from the sediments they live in. That blew my mind, so finding this out about reptiles is so wild.
That looks like Elephant garlic!
Mildred is a metal as fuck name.
I love Abzû! It truly is a beautiful piece of art.
I'm actually second-guessing my elephant garlic thought... I planted my first clove this year and it took a month and a half to sprout!!! I thought it had died due to heat, but I finally saw its thumb-sized sprout coming up a couple days ago. My normal garlic only takes a week or so to sprout over here in AZ. The elephant garlic seed leaves look more like an iris or tulip coming up. That one commenter was probably on point, saying the bulb was too young to start segmenting into cloves. That was news to me and I'm over the moon about it! Thank you so much for posting about this in the first place!!!
