late for #wildflowerhour again, but here's some lacy phacelia, bush (?) vetch, camomile of some kind, and crimson clover in a lincolnshire field today the field was full of the first two, so guessing they're being grown for nitrogen fixing terrible photos cause I couldn't see my phone in the sun!

Magenta and purple flowers of vetch on vine-like leaves

Fuzzy foliage with a single chunky daisy like flower

right under this post from Hank is one from @bennjordan.bsky.social with this screenshot I find Hank's posing of his question very disingenuous for some reason

An Amazon listing with a bunch of "Rufus" suggested questions, and its response "Sorry, I can't help with that" to every single one

at some point last year I was possessed by unusual inspiration and wrote some poems. this one about my parents' house made my mum cry

Plas Bryn
Welsh for "Place of the hills"

I

Your house is a wild meadow
packed to the bracts
with board games and bric-a-brac,
a buried seed-bank ready
to germinate, burst forth and
sprout small perfect flowers of memory
atop tall stalks of stories
that start with their own lineage.

Your house is a wild meadow,
packed to the glumes
with dead seed heads
of empty pens and run-out felt tips
that perfectly mimic their cousins.
Every flat surface is scrubland,
an understory of magazines
beneath a canopy of postcards,
a varied landscape vital
for a healthy ecosystem
or household.

Your house is a wild meadow
packed to the calyxes
with books of every species,
lining the banks of every room
in dense reedbeds.
Maps, almanacs,
How cars work,
Walking the dales,
Cryptogamic botany,
Reader's Digest Atlas,
The Drowned World.

II

Your garden is a chaotic desk,
drawers full of everything an office needs,
forget-me-nots, snowdrops, daffodils, alliums,
everything exactly where it should be.
Tulips and cow parsley filed under "white",
kiftsgate under "summer",
and damsons under foot.
Pot plant photographs
frame moments,
spider plants hang like curtains.

Your garage is a sprawling rainforest,
a thousand species of nuts, bolts, lubricants,
everything bursting with life,
every paintcan a predator,
every engine a biome.

there is actually! new stars are born in these nebulae and their stellar winds blow bubbles within the gases also many astrophysical objects, including entire galaxies, can emit jets of plasma, which can travel at significant fractions of the speed of light over colossal distances

Bubble nebula, NGC 7635, a new star blows astrophysical gases out into a huge bubble, light years across

Centaurus A, a galaxy blowing jets of plasma out of its poles, the jets are larger than the galaxy itself
