Yesterday I went up on mount Diablo with some friends and saw the hardest working flowers in California pushing out nectar for high-altitude hummingbirds. So much good lichen. I restrained from photographing all of it. #nature #wildflowers #babyblueeyes #wallflower #rockcress #californiapoppies #lichen (at Mount Diablo State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQiEFzLWPo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Flowers of the March of Maedhros (possibly part one, there are so many!)

flora, fauna, geography and environment of Arda

I love doing general flora and fauna posts but I can’t fit everything in them so I’m trying to make more specific ones as well! please please feel free to send categories to work on with locations! Or any environmental world building asks!

extensive environmental world building for himring plus more in the Himring tag

Himring was the fortress of Maedhros in the March of Maedhros, a cold realm in Northeastern Beleriand located slightly Southeast of Dorthonion and south of Lothlann and Ard Galen. It was a cold region with taiga forested hills and icy waters, including the sources of several rivers, namely Celon and Little Gelion. The March was located between the cold mountains on the Southern and Eastern borders of Dorthonion and the mountainous regions of the Gap and Thargelion on its own Eastern border.  The cold likely comes from a combination of its proximity to the Ered Engrin and Ered Gorgoroth, especially given the boreal forested region of Dorthonion, as well as altitude in some parts of it. I go into this more on other posts. 

The flora of the March is hardy, resistant to the cold that is present throughout so much of the year. Most flowers and herbaceous plants are herbaceous perennials that bloom in the spring and summer each year, sustained by their root stock despite the cold winters. 

The March contains several habitats; boreal forests/taiga, montane steppes and meadows, riverbanks and marshier areas. Towards Maglor’s Gap, rocky outcrops including many of limestone invite plants that thrive on calcareous soils. Lothlann and Ard-galen were montane or boreal meadows. While boreal forest in many places is divided into three zones (closed forest where trees cover more than forty percent of the ground and have a dense layer of grass, high boreal or alpine and Southern boreal where croppings of temperate decidious trees might be found) I think the March and also Dorthonion which has some similarities in climate and ecology, would see a combination of these ecosystems. 

Canon species: no canon species are associated with Himring, the March, or indeed much of Fëanorian occupied Eastern Beleriand

I use what we can extrapolate as possibly indigenous based on descriptions of climate, looking at similar real world locations, etc. I am also always happy to write posts based on real world locations by suggestion! (I’ve done the Havens of Sirion based on Southwestern Australia for example, etc. I think Tol Himling would have a similar climate to Hokkaidō). 

-Mountain and red clovers bloom on the hills and meadow steppes in the late spring and summer. Arctic dandelion grows in the meadows in the North towards Lothlann and Ard Galen as does Annual Gypsophila, cutleaf coneflower, arctic harebell (also grows on stream banks), broadleaf chives, cow parsnip, longstalk starwort, heath violet

-Mountain avens grow in rocky outcrops throughout the hills around Himring, usually in the summer. Moss campion also grows throughout the hills, above the tree line. Nodding campion, heath grounsel, snow saxifrage, baneberry (also stream banks)

-Great spur violet, fireweed (especially in clearings), snowdrop, wall lettuce, wild tulip and  grow in the forested areas. Boreal forests often contain berries and the forested areas around the hills has many species including bog bilberry, black crowberry, cloudberry, and wild strawberry. 

-Alongside the rivers grows wood or alpine sorrel alongside glacier buttercup, Lapland buttercup, Arctic butterbur, one flower fleabane (which also grows in forested belts and meadows), alpine rockcress, moor king, wood ruff, alpine butterwort, and arctic or prickly rose. 

-Arctic and common meadow rue grows in the North and West of the March in boggier areas as does milky whitlow grass, a flowering plant. 

-Common Groundsel grows throughout the region

World building notes:

-A number of these species have medicinal uses

-Others are used as fodder, in salads, garnishes and other dishes or in teas

-storing and preserving plants of various kinds is highly utilized in the March, more so than other elven realms. Both flora with medicinal and culinary uses are frequently preserved through drying, fermentation or other methods

A heavy and long-lasting rain in early spring is a perfect chance to take a look outside and see what’s coming up!

Allium stellatum (pink/starry onion) and Carex plantagenia (plantainleaf sedge) just hanging out like winter never happened.

Allium canadense (Canada/meadow garlic), Allium schoenoprasum (wild chives), Aquilegia canadensis (Canada/red/wild columbine), Astragalus canadensis (Canadian milk vetch), and Campanula rotundifolia (harebell) coming up happily.

Several plants with red leaves beginning to turn green again. Lots of buds preparing to open. The evergreens are, well, green. And I swear my Mahonia repens (creeping Oregon grape holly) and my Arabis alpina (Alpine rockcress) actually grew over the winter. Not terribly surprising as I recall seeing the thick rhizome of my baby dying sunflower the winter after I planted it, showing in an exposed area and very much alive (certainly not dying now lmao).

I am, of course, always a bit nervous for the new plants I put in last spring and summer. The winter always leaves a couple of casualties, but invariably I find that the vast majority make it just fine. I already know my Allegheny blackberry, lingonberry, prickly currant, spiny wood fern, kinnikinnick/bearberry, toothed wood-fern, blanketflower, witch-hazel, wild hydrangea, northern bayberry, and rock polypody made it. It’s rare for those plants which have established themselves for over a year not to make it, so I’m pretty confident in those that made it the winter before and into summer.

For the rest, we’ll just have to wait and see. It is quite early after all.

Wow, he has family? That I can actually draw???

Oregano (Left Concept) is a Barbarian who is distantly related to R (Middle) somehow. He follows Path of the Beast and is most likely gonna be the trope of "Tough on the Outside, Soft on the Inside." But we'll see.

Coriander (Right Concept) is R's direct cousin in the main story. She's a Fighter, and is about 5 years older than R is. She actually really supported her lil cousin's need to study and become a scholar, but only because that meant she'd have less competition for the next head of the family.

Also! R has a final name! Arabis! Though, he goes by Rockcress to his family, and R to everyone else.

I like to think R's lineage had a strong sense of connection to their names. Most of their ancestors were named after spices, poisons, or invasive plants, and those people were imbued with the power of warriors. So, when he was named after a flower, he was basically destined to be more delicate, and hopefully more agile. Instead, he doesn't have a violent bone in his body, and decided to be a scholar.

beloved i am exhausted... can i have some viccor tattoo HCs to heal my brain...

yes you may <3 this isn’t very long i apologise but i hope you like it!!

okay SO. you would probably assume just looking at them that cor has more tattoos. and you would be WRONG. (i love subversion). (to be fair most of victoria’s tattoos aren’t visible with what she wears, but i digress.)

victoria has a bracelet tattoo on her left wrist that’s a line of barbed wire, but there’s hydrangeas in blue and pink managing the grow around the barbs. across her shoulders there’s a red-cockaded woodpecker with the inscription “persist” beneath it. the rest of her back is various species of endangered flowers and plants native to georgia forming a tapestry (georgia aster, rockcress, royal catchfly, and carolina birds-in-a-nest being the most prominent pieces within it).

cor only has two tattoos, a stylised pirate ship on her right bicep that says “ftp pirate radio” under it, and a rose with a dagger behind it on the inside of her wrist.

#theo tag #asks #my ocs #victoria #cor #yes victoria’s tattoos are very referential to her being trans <3 #cor’s are more referential to the bristol punk scene of her youth

Alrght y’all, Im on plant watch for this beauty, it’s a rock cress of some kind, IDK what kind, but it is a rock cress, I’ve talked to my friend Andrew who works for the ODNR about it and he said to keep an eye on it. Smooth rock cress is something i’ve photographed before on the occasion and they usually don’t pop up this early, the other issue is that these cauline leaves are more dentate then they are crisp/undulate, but that could change over time. I am going to try to photograph this individual for y’all later but if it turns out to be Lucy Brauns rock cress than we will have to look for more in the area. It could just be a really early emerging smooth rock cress though. We shall see.

First two: showy daisy and lupine.

Third I think is Nuttall’s rockcress, though I’m not sure.

I don’t know what the last flower is.

Tiny bee sipping from a tiny rock cress flower. This is the first bee of this kind I’ve seen in my garden. The other was a fat bumble bee & it pains me to thinks she’s gone. The bees are so few.

Boechera breweri (Brewer's rockcress)

COP 26

I’ve commented in the past about how modern genetics is redrawing our understanding of plant relationships. Until recently all the rockcresses were in one genus. More recent evaluations of the relationships among these species using genetic data suggest there are two major groups within the old genus Arabis. These two groups are not each other's closest relatives, so have been split into two separate genera. Most of the Old World members remain in the genus Arabis, whereas most of the New World members have been moved into the genus, Boechera. 

I wouldn’t stake my reputation on it but I believe this is a Boechera breweri. As you might of guessed, it’s a coastal plant and formerly found no farther north than Oregon. However, global warming is a fact and I found this specimen growing a few kilometers from the US border at Crescent Beach. The way things are going, it will be growing in Alaska by the turn of the century. Let’s try to make sure that doesn’t happen. Good luck to the delegates at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (Cop 26) in Glasgow over the next two weeks. This may be our last chance.

My favourite #spring #flower in #mygarden. 😻😻😻 This is #Aubrieta Blue also known as #RockCress purchased from @jparkersbulbs in May 2017. It was a tiny 5cm plug. Swap left to see it. Now 2 years in, it has grown and cascade down the pot! I simply love it! This year I've decided to grow a few varieties of Aubrieta from seeds! Let's see how it goes! Finger crossed! 🥰🥰🥰 . Rock Cress is a great ground-cover cascading plant. Sweeping clusters of dainty blue-violet single flowers form a strong mat of colour throughout April and May. A fully hardy variety this is such useful and versatile plant in the garden. Fabulous at the front of the border or in rockeries it's also great for containers. Loves full sun but will tolerate some shading and is an ideal plant for dry, chalky areas. An ideal plant for growing on slopes or up walls. . #gardening #flowers #garden #gardenlife #flowerstagram #gardens #flower_daily #nature #gardener #flower_igers #gardendesign #flowerpower #gardenlove #flowersofinstagram #flowermagic #garden_styles #gardenflowers #flowerslovers #gardenlovers #floweroftheday #gardena #superb_flowers #garden_explorers #flower_perfection #gardenia (at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwrxgPupuDH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5bushuwy21je
