Rare #ParasiticPlants rediscovered near Wellington https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/561451/rare-parasitic-plant-rediscovered-near-wellington
"#Aotearoa's only #ParasiticPlant has been rediscovered in #Wainuiomata, after wild populations of the species were thought to be #extinct from the region for more than a century... Te pua o te Rēinga, also known as wood rose or Dactylanthus taylorii, is endemic and critically threatened... the last documented observation of a wild population was in #Kaitoke in 1914."
Inktober creeps around again this year. I love using the 31-drawings-a-day format as a means to express myself when I'm mired arms-deep in work and other drudgery. I'm bad at following prompts, however - and Inktober is all about following the prompt.
So this year's October art exercise will be called DYING SEASON. A memoriam for the season of passings.
Dying Season 1 - Aconite Garden

Did you know that plants can be parasites too? 🌱
Our new special issue cover shows the parasitic plant, Striga, infecting rice roots. See Kirschner et al. (2023). 🌾

Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen. Wenn ihr mögt, lasst eure #diekleinendinge hier.
Hier: eine Wiese voller Sommerwurzen. Diese parasitischen Pflanzen wachsen häufig, aber zerstreut auf mageren (Halb)trockenrasen. Im Moment sind sie häufig auf Almwiesen zu finden. #Biodiversity #Bloomscrolling #parasiticplant #mountains
#CandyCane #plant - #Allotropa #Virgata - it's found in oak, hardwood & coniferous #forests of #VancouverIsland . Grows up to 1500 meters in elevation. #IndicatorPlant - if you see it, return in Fall & look for #pine #mushrooms & you'll find them. They feed on #PineMushroom #mycelium - #ParasiticPlant

Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen.
Hier: kennt ihr die Schuppenwurz? Eine vollparasitische Pflanze fast ohne Chlorophyll die mit ihren Wurzeln Nahrung aus den Leitbahnen ihrer Wirte saugt. Standort: z.B. Auwälder. Die Pflanzen blühen erst nach ca 10 Jahren. Selten, weil die passenden Habitate immer seltener werden. #biodiversity #Biodiversität #natur #parasiticplant #Frühling #ArtenschutzIstHabitatsschutz
