Guten Morgen zusammen! Beim Gang durch den Garten würde ich eben mit dem Duft der ersten Blüten des winterblühenden Schneeballs #viburnum bodnantense überrascht. Und 'des Sommers letzten Rose' ist in diesem Fall nicht rot und schon ein bisschen mitgenommen, aber 'Gräfin Rantzau' gibt sich noch alle Mühe ein bisschen zu duften. Dazu noch als Kontrast: das fabelhafte Blau des späten Eisenhuts, #Aconitum
Ich wünsche euch allen einen farbigen Tag!
Yellow Wolfsbane (Aconitum lycoctonum 'Vulparia', Gelber Eisenhut) is a tall, herbaceous perennial native to moist, shaded mountain forests and alpine meadows across Europe. It is easily recognized by its pale yellow, hood-shaped flowers and deeply lobed, dark green leaves. Flowering typically occurs from mid to late summer.
Ecologically, Yellow Wolfsbane plays a role in supporting specialized pollinators. Its flowers are adapted to long-tongued insects, especially bumblebees, which are among the few capable of accessing its nectar. In alpine ecosystems, it contributes to plant diversity in semi-shaded slopes and forest edges, often growing in nutrient-rich but undisturbed soils.
Medicinally, this plant—like all members of the Aconitum genus—is highly toxic. Historically, its alkaloids (notably aconitine) were used with great caution in traditional medicine for treating severe pain, neuralgia, and fever. However, due to the risk of poisoning, its use is now largely restricted to homeopathy or historical reference. All parts of the plant are poisonous, particularly the roots.
Rather like an uninvited guest in a hayfield.

What's better than one "-omic"?
Ask Zhao et al. and they'll tell you that #multiomics analysis reveals the #evolutionary origin of diterpenoid alkaloid #biosynthesis pathways in #Aconitum. Read all about it here!⬇️

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: Der Gelbe Eisenhut (Aconitum lycoctonum) ist wegen hoher Alkaloid-Gehalte sehr giftig. Sein lat Name deutet auf d frühere Verwendung als Gift in Wolfsködern hin. Er ist nicht ganz so giftreich wie sein blauer Cousin, aber dennoch auch in kleinen Mengen tödlich giftig. #bloomscrolling #Aconitum #Biodiversität #biodiversity heimische #Giftpflanze

I have filled out a page on my Gemini server!
The page for Aconite is now done.
Well, Is there a way to do something like content warnings with gemini?
This could be usefull, since people might not want to read all awfull stuff that some poison does...

gemini://webdragon.ydns.eu/plants/Aconitum-Napellus.gmi

I have also made a disclaimer, since some plants are very poisonous...
