One of my favorite wildflowers!

Jack-in-the-pulpit is native to eastern north america and begins flowering around this time. Why is it one of my favorites? Well besides the fact that I ADORE arums and/or plants that smell like literal trash to seduce their victims, but also…

1) Jacks have the ability to switch between sexes (say the plant is female that year, but becomes stressed or diseased… it may become male the next year (typically old or large Jacks are female, and male Jacks are small or young). How delightful is that?!

2) SNEAKY MURDER GIRLS! Males have a small hole the bottom of their spathe (hood that covers their flower cluster), so that pollinators can escape and spread their pollen. BUT females have no escape hole in their spathe so anything that falls in is trapped forever, making successful pollination more likely.

*Sometimes female Jacks are referred to as Jills but I think that’s stupid. 🙂

my aloe juvenna is finally rooted + taking in water!!!! during the months it was growing roots, it was very orange/brown as it had no way to hydrate, but after the past 2 waterings it's completely green :) you can kind of see one of the other smaller cuttings to the left behind the main one, it's almost the same colour as the pot. cos that one doesn't have roots yet, it'll hopefully grow roots and get green too.

Some more harbingers of spring: Rosettes of Texas storksbill (Erodium texanum) and Texas bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis); four-nerved daisies (Tetraneuris scaposa), well-known for blooming through mild winters; the beautiful foliage of green lily aka Texas feathershank (Schoenocaulon texanum); cutleaf evening primrose (Oenothera laciniata); and an early-blooming giant spiderwort (Tradescantia gigantea).

The envy that quietly burns in me when I see Jocat slay in cute girly clothes or a frilly dress. Glad he's doing well offline though, you keep on slaying dude, slay.

#that maid dress/outfit he shared looks REALLY good on him #ramblings #is it gender envy if you're a dude envious of another dude looking good in feminine clothes??? dk
