@ReturnOfThePod Civil war. It’s actually an off blue

Gray, khaki, grayish khaki, who cares, or CIVIL WAR? #TeamGray #TeamKhaki

@caitlinmbusch Wonder if any one will ever write about Earth 2

I'm filling out our summer editorial calendar right now, and I'd like to pay you to write about all the nerdy stuff that wasn't cool in your grade school. We love nostalgia and basically anything with a fandom, from the mainstream to the very-much-not-mainstream. Inbox is open!

SYFY WIRE always needs more voices to write about the diverse spaces we cover (sci-fi, fantasy, horror, superheroes, comics, video games, etc.) — reported pieces, interviews, op-eds, listicles, and so on. Email is in my bio! Pitch me! cc: @WritersofColor

#GoodeniaceaeGeneraAtoZ: - #Goodeniaceae is a plant family with 12 genera and over 400 species, many with great horticultural potential. Let's check them out in this slowly evolving thread - post your own photos if you have any. #lockdownlearning

This is the Byfield Fern but it’s actually a Cycad! Bowenia serrulata in the smallest #Cycad family #Stangeriaceae It resembles a fern with its bipinnate frond which arise from a subterranean caudex #RockhamptonBotanicGardens has a large collection on display! #OzFlora

@nyccookies Disgusted

This grown a*s man just did this to a little girl who was posting flyers in support of George Floyd. This is sick. No grown man has the right to touch children, ever.

@ajcharakanis1 Delicious!!!

The beautiful native Hibiscus divaricatus flowering now and can be found in Woodlands and Open Forest. In the family #Malvaceae. You can see this specimen growing on #KempHill in #CapricornCoastNationalPark. #MyHikes #CentralQueensland #Yeppoon

When out for a foray into my local mangrove and found this a late flowering Bruguiera gymnorrhiza which is in the pan-tropical family #Rhizophoraceae The common name is Large-leafed Orange Mangrove. #MyHikes #Yeppoon #CentralQueensland

The impressive Bombax ceiba! Such a surprise to find out that this is a native of #Australia flowering now at #RockhamptonBotanicGardens #OzFlora #Malvaceae

@TexanInOz One of the best horticultural positions in Australia and our region! Had the opportunity in 2017 to temporarily work in this position and it was truly a privilege!

I’m seeking a horticulturist extraordinaire to assist me as the Curator Manager of the Horticulture Dept at the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney. #Horticulture #BotanicGarden #curator seek.com.au/job/39515584?s…

I found this specimen of Sophora tomentosa sub species austrslis on #MyWalks around coastal areas of #Yeppoon in #CentralQueensland. A great seaside plant for warm sunny aspects from the pea family #Fabaceae. #OzFlora

@AdamTietz1 @coachwood Disgustingly beautiful

Isn’t Fasciation fascinating! These are both Euphorbia caput- medusae. Only one has #Fasciation and the first plant is normal. #Euphorbiaceae. Thanks Peter and Ruth Donnelly for showing me your collection today @Coachwood Nursery.

How amazing are Gum Trees! This is Eucalyptus raveretiana in #Myrtaceae family. Just look at the bark variation on just 1 tree. #RockhamptonCricketGrounds #Rockhampton #CentralQueensland #OzFlora

@TexanInOz @bhautikpatel303 @RBGSydney And they are planted in the ground. From memory we incorporated a pallet of perlite and pumice into the soil and all by hand

The Cymbidium Orchids are finally growing in @RBGSydney Middle Gardens. They are really loving the shade and moisture in this area. Never thought I would live someplace I could grow these outside all year long.

@jogrowsgardens Too easy.

@michael_elgey Thanks for sharing. Love seeing plants from elsewhere 🙂

Pyrostegia venusta or Orange Trumpetvine from the family #Bignoniaceae is such a versatile plant. Here in #Australia it is growing from the tropics down to the temperate regions. This is an endemic species of #Brazil.

Here is a good article by #InDefenceOfPlants on this group of plants indefenseofplants.com/blog/2015/11/4…

A great specimen of Cochliostema odoratissimum at #CairnsBotanicGardens. A native of #Ecuador and will hopefully be represented at #RockhamptonBotanicGarden in the near future. From the family #Commelinaceae

@m__kilpatrick @RBGSydney Asteraceae family blows my mind. Love it when they are in flower, just not what you expect from what this plant looks like.

This is one of many awesome Australian Native plants commercially available. Xanthostemon chrysanthus #Myrtaceae family, naturally only found in Australia’s north east. Flowering now at #KershawGardens #Rockhampton #CentralQueensland #OzFlora
