Maybe this is why they named a Super Mario RPG boss after this genus

Oh I see
as if my Florida Man posting didn’t already give it away :P
that said I have learned to prefer YYYY-MM-DD for all my cataloguing needs on computer because it sorts far more easily
concat: “11”

Um
The second wrong.
Or…only one

A local park ranger I know likes to remark that our state tree is a grass. (I’m in Florida.)
But I’d say that’s also inaccurate. IMO, grasses are in the family Poaceae, and palms are in the family Arecaceae. I guess one could remark that our state tree is a commelinid…but I don’t think tourists would get as much of a kick out of that.

I think it’s arguable that “tree” is just a term for a growth habit rather than anything really taxonomically meaningful.
How many social credit points do I lose if I refer to bamboo products as “wood” outside of botany nerd circles?
Talk about invasive species!

Time to post one of my favorite songs:
(“Da Coconut Nut”, by Ryan Cayabyab. This version is probably the one performed by his group, Smokey Mountain.)
This song reminds us that the coconut is not a nut; it is the fruit of the cocopalm.
1·2 years agoUpdate: the city of Plantation has just added an event!
Project: City of Plantation note: only covers Plantation Preserve Linear Trail and Golf Course special event: September 9, 9am ~ 11am
Again, note that the project covers the whole month, even though the special event is on a particular day.
I clicked on it expecting just a simple “they’re genetic clones and they’re susceptible this same disease”, but this is quite a bit more depth about things. Thanks for sharing!

It’s unfortunate that there are negative stereotypes of vultures as creepy just because they eat carrion, as they’re the janitors who take care of the messes that others don’t want to deal with.
