Ruins of Netley Abbey, Hampshire

A room at the south end of the east range with amazing stone vaulting, built during mid C13. It may have been an infirmary or dormitory.

I love wild tulips and have planted quite a selection of different ones. Most like a well-drained sunny spot in relatively poor soil. They are normally reliably perennial and the first start flowering at the end of February, the latest in May. Here you can see some of my wild tulips (Tulipa tarda, Tulipa linifolia, Tulipa clusiana, Tulipa saxatilis) in flower at the moment. #flowers #tulips

Cuando se desprende el opérculo del esporangio del musgo Bryum, no salen todas las esporas de golpe por el estoma ("boca"), sino que las retiene el peristoma, esa fila o filas de triángulos a su alrededor. En la clase Bryopsida, este peristoma es artrodonto o articulado, es decir, puede abrirse y cerrarse, regulando la expulsión de las esporas, y, en la subclase Brydae, diplolépido, es decir, con dos hileras. 📷Henri Koskinen #musgo #moss #mosstodon
