Why buy expensive plants when you can work at your unis botany lab and “accidentally” bring home 23 individual succulents/rare plants over the course of 2 years

I thought dragon wing begonias were as cool as they got! Did you get it from where you work??? I've never seen one where I shop for plants

plantanarchy answered:

Yep! Begonias can get SUPER extremely cool. They’re one of my favorites and there are about 800 kinds…

Rex Begonias are usuallyyy sold as annuals in spring to go in shade combination planters. At my old greenhouse job, the only weird begonias I’d seen were Escargot Rex begonias

And also Pegasus/Gryphon begonias

Rex Begonias and other rhizomatous begonias are usually the most awesome and varied foliage wise. Here’s my others:

One of my favorites and plants I really want is Begonia maculata ‘Wightii”

Also… Begonia luxurians

And Iron Cross Begonias are cool

And also, my mom has hardy begonias which are super cool. They’re hardy to zone 6.

But yeah… begonias

Begonias are really cool. Some species are really, really cool, like Begonia ferox and locii.

syngoniums

B. ferox and B. PAVONINA! are two big reasons I’d like to try a large terrarium one day!

The Poison Garden

Established in 2005 by the Duchess of Northumberland. The garden contains over 100 deadly and hallucinogenic plants. 

’I wondered why so many gardens around the world focused on the healing power of plants rather than their ability to kill… I felt that most children I knew would be more interested in hearing how a plant killed, how long it would take you to die if you ate it and how gruesome and painful the death might be.’

-The Duchess of Northumberland

So this garden was established because a woman knew that they way to get kids intrested in learning about plants was to show them how morbid plants could be. My kind of woman.

Im curious about your experience with the water crisis in flint? If you don't mind talking about it that is, I'm just interested in listening to peoples stories

Started in 2014. Couldn’t use the city water. There were water distribution sites and shit. The worst I got was when I was working at a local walmart and had to use the city water to water the plants in the garden center and I got rashes and the plants died because obviously
