Napping Next to a (bird) Deciduous Tree 🌳 on Sleepy Bird Sunday
Been thinking of making a series of birds as trees, as that seems to be an unmarked territory. (Also exploring my other brushes I've never really used.)

#1873 - Platanus × acerifolia - London Plane
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AKA Platanus × hispanica, or hybrid plane. A very common urban tree in many parts of the world, because of its tolerance for air pollution and soil compaction, and resistance to anthracnose cankers. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world hardly anything will eat it, which doesn’t help biological diversity in the aforementioned cities, and the small stiff hairs shed by young leaves and dispersing seeds are an asthma trigger. 
This was one of many growing around the Melbourne CBD, where my asthma was being well and truly triggered.
It’s believed to be an accidental hybrid of Platanus orientalis (oriental plane) and Platanus occidentalis (American sycamore), but it’s possible that it’s a cultivar of P. orientalis. Either way, the seeds are fertile. 
London Plane is a deciduous tree up to 40 m (131 ft) tall, with a trunk that can be up to 3 m (10 ft) or more in circumference. The bark is usually pale grey-green, smooth and exfoliating, or buff-brown and not exfoliating. The palmate, lobed leaves are thick and stiff-textured, and up to 25cm broad. Unsurprisingly, the leaves can also be a problem once they pile up on roads and sidewalks. 
Some urban birds will pick the seeds out of the seed balls, and the timber is a quite attractive form called ‘lacewood’ but in many parts of the world the trees are being removed and replaced with more ecologically sound choices.

Plant of the Day
Thursday 14 March 2024
In early spring the Magnolia × soulangeana (saucer magnolia, Chinese magnolia) flowers before the leaves emerge. As long as there is little wind or frost these trees will provide a glamorous display.

#there's something really beautiful about experiencing the weather patterns of a new place#where i live now. its not like where i grew up. not like the foothills of Appalachia but its more familiar than the Chihuahuan desert was#when i go home to ohio everythings so green. so green. unimaginably green and the towns are in the woods. the hills roll#and trees billow deciduous and packed so tightly the treeline is like a wall of plant matter. here there are trees but they are tall and#evergreen. patchy in places like shrubs in the desert. the grass grows green but also pale tan and dead. houses are routed in valleys#between mountains. they're made of wood and not stucco but they still look strange and the landscape is crumpled together tall. and there's#water. it rains. days can be dreary and gray with drizzle. i forgot what thats like. when a single low stratus cloud blocks out thewhole sk#and fog clings to the trees. my school bus used to drive by a lake where thr fog was so thick i didnt kno how the driver could see the road#but somehow i forgot how much joy suspended water vapor gives me living in a place where when it rains it pours so hard the streets flood#and the greedy ground drinks the landscape dry. but there are new things as well. here smoke rolls up over thr mountains and gets stuck in#the valleys so that the weather forcast reads: Smoke for days on end. im used to tornado warnings and heat warnings and dust storm warnings#but ive never expected Smoke as a type of weather. and im sure there's more to experience. ive only been here like 3 weeks. its not as gree#as home. the storms dont seem to get quite so violent. the woods are so full of bears that its an active threat. but its not the desert#and while ill miss the shapes of desert plants and little lizards. when i look up at the pine and spruce trees i feel like i can breathe a#little easier. well see how i feel once the long cold winter sets in haha#but i dunno. part of me still longs for a violent thunderstorm. one where u can feel the temperature drop and u csn feel it building all da#one that bends the trees and smells like ozone. it was never like that in thr southwest and im not sure that happens here#but maybe thats just a desire for chaos and violence as a product of my pathological internal control. i cant be spontaneous so let nature#bring the fear to me. some of my favorite memories are watching lightning strikes#so it goes i suppose#unrelated#listen. is it fucked up to have ohio nostalgia? maybe so. but in my defense i grew up in the pretty part of ohio lol

“Aurum”, lutruwita/Tasmania, 2019
Fagus, Tanglefoot, Deciduous Beech (Nothofagus gunnii, (Hook.f.) Oerst) is a tree of many names, but an identifying feature that supersedes them all – it’s Australia’s only cold-weather deciduous species.
Endemic to Tasmania’s alpine country, they are found in just a few small pockets of the island. Every year, tourists come from the world over to experience “the change,” turning from heritage green to flaming oranges for around a week.

Plant of the Day
Friday 8 December 2023
This autumn I saw the cones on Pseudolarix amabilis (golden larch, false larch, golden pine) for the first time. This is a slow-growing, deciduous tree with whorls of light green, linear leaves, which turn bright golden-yellow in autumn.

got asked to do a neighbourhood walk-around at work to pick some flowers/vegetation and i was so cautious to only grab stuff that was abundant, only take a bit from each, only take stuff that was spilling over into the street and not behind fences etc, STILL got raked over the coals by an angry woman for it which is the exact situation i was anxious about. i mentioned it to a coworker and after some context she’s like “oh that’s esther, she picks flowers all the time from gardens so i dunno why she’s so mad about it”
