Description

Spicebush blooming - female. This one still had a few dried-up old fruits from last year on it - not sure if that still counts as fruiting or not.

Little jumping spider on a leaf behind the pine seedling I was documenting. I didn't notice it when I took the picture or I would have tried to get a better close-up. I only saw it once I processed the pictures on the computer.

Description

Mountain laurel, with some of that weird stuff on its leaves seen in this exact location before (compare to: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/151456815 and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/151457084). I'm hoping to find it again at a foray later this week where we have a permit to collect things for microscopy. In the meantime, I think that "stuff" is probably more likely pine pollen than a fungus.

Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum)

Observer

annkatrinrose

Date

March 9, 2024

Description

Unexpected update to the titan arum bloom at the university greenhouse. We tried (and failed) to get pollen, but somehow it seems to still have managed to get pollinated and is setting fruits. Plants in this family are known to form hybrids, too. Either that, or it may have somehow managed to self-fertilize or is going parthenocarpic. I'm curious if those fruits will have viable seeds inside and what they might turn into. Mongo teaching us the same lesson as learned in Jurassic Park, where they scientists made only female dinosaurs so they couldn't reproduce but then they started laying eggs anyway: "Life finds a way." Hah, yes, it does! (Just like some of the invasives out there that were introduced as supposedly "sterile" garden cultivars.)
