This week, after messing around using the PlantNet app to identify, or misidentify, the weeds in my garden, I decided to see what it could tell us about the plant life of Equestria. The way it works is you feed it a photo, and it applies the magic of machine learning to reference it against a database of images and identify the best fit. A very useful tool for botany students and gardeners. The accuracy has improved a lot in recent years, thanks to photographs

Inspiration has been fleeting due to the stress of my dissertation. So, while I try to get my creative mojo going again, allow me to distract you all with pretty pictures of tiny plants taken with the super-macro setting on my camera (my actual camera. I don't have a smart phone, nor do I want one).

First up - Liverworts!

Hello everyone and welcome back to the question of the week.

While it might be tempting to go ahead and just repost the questions I had in regards to AI, conceptualization and commissions here, I'm not going to do that today.

Instead, I wanted to talk about something else.

Elderflower’s story of the Together Trees in Father of the Bridlewood gives me an excuse to fact-check a science story that I have been meaning to look into for a while. She says, “Together Trees communicate and connect magically to each other through their roots underground.” This sounds like something that has featured in quite a few books and documentaries in recent years—the idea that threads of fungi connect tree roots underground and allow plants to exchange nutrients and

I'm cutting away a bunch of undergrowth on the hillside behind our house (making room for a garden, getting more sun on the pool, getting the back deck to feel less cramped...), and the easiest way to deal with what I cut down seems to be a burn pile.

Yesterday a friend and I sat in the grass at a park and then went to the grocery store to get those frosted cookies that are so bad for you. We also got pop-its since I'm old enough. Today another friend and I gave our friend a graduation gift that consisted of tea, chocolate, and a mug with a picture of us on it. I had a bit of trouble getting home, but I stopped by the hardware store and found this beautiful moon cactus. It was red, orange, and yellow and looked like fire! The
