Michelle @aveclesplumes.bsky.social · 25/08/2025Whoa! No idea what species of mushroom this is but it's huge and amazing looking. Check out the guttation or sweating. #naturenyc 040
Michelle @aveclesplumes.bsky.social · 24/08/2025At first I thought a snapping turtle was killing someone but, as I got closer, I realized it was two snapping turtles in love. 🖤 So prehistoric looking. Claws were going everywhere! Today at the Central Park Pool. 120

Michelle @aveclesplumes.bsky.social · 12/06/2025A delicate herbaceous plant, Honewort, with a spray of pretty white flowers and a terrible name. So many "worts" which makes remembering them a challenge. #WildflowerWednesday 131
Reposted by MichellePriyantha Wijesinghe @elaphrornis.bsky.social · 12/06/2025The first plant for #WildflowerWednesday is Japanese Mazus (Mazus pumilus) which is often seen growing in soil that has collected in sidewalk fissures. #NatureNYC 132
Michelle @aveclesplumes.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Looks like the kind of flower that hummingbirds might like. 100
Michelle @aveclesplumes.bsky.social · 12/06/2025With so much rain recently, I've been looking closely for mushrooms & to my delight, I spotted a giant puffball! Never fails to impress me. You might mistake them for actual balls. If you see a large white blob, do take a closer look. Love these! #WildflowerWednesday 141

Michelle @aveclesplumes.bsky.social · 12/06/2025While you're looking for wildflowers, you might come across these really cool Royal Ferns. The rusty-colored spore producing (reproductive) part, at the top, looks like a crown thus the common name Royal Ferns. #WildflowerWednesday 030
