Awesome work! Upgraded. Thank you!! 😄

I think that the videos on ginger and turmeric from “Self Suficient Me” have valuable information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE32IxRIgow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFHQir72ams

I have experience growing small plants of ginger, turmeric, and galangal in pots - if I bury the store-bought pieces in soil mix I get young plants with no problem. Unfortunately my luck ends there, because I don’t have the space nor access to the weather to grow large healthy plants, and eventually they do stall when winter comes.

Here are some that come to my mind: Epazote, ramsons, nopal, chaya, sour orange, turmeric, many gingers, galangal, Sichuan pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, mamey, black sapote, guaya (Melicoccus bijugatus), jícama

Hahahahaha

Aah, congratz!! :D

Beautiful!

What does “rebloom” mean? Did it bloom twice in one year?

Aaah, got it now 🤣

I’m happy to hear that! It is not so easy to rescue weakened wild animals, so you must have done a very good job in getting the conditions right 👍

A danger noodle to sleeping lizards! But to humans these are inoffensive :)

Thanks :)

Wow! That took me a moment to spot 😁

How is she doing?

I agree that it is a whiptail, but it is not so easy to determine the species from this photo.

New Mexico whiptail (Aspidoscelis neomexicanus) is possible. If it is this species, the species is female-only (according to wikipedia), and so this would be a girl.

Looking through other whiptails found in New Mexico (is that where you found her?), I have found photos of the Texas spotted whiptail (Aspidoscelis gularis) that with patterns of spots similar to the lizard in your picture, so that is another possibility. If it is the Texas spotted whiptail, I do think that it is a female as well because the males have more color (red throat, blue belly).

I agree! From the frogs in Yucatán, the one in this picture and the Mexican burrowing toad (Rhinophrynus dorsalis) are the coolest looking (in my opinion). I have looked and looked for the burrowing toad but I have never found one.

Thanks!

Hmm… Some lichen make use of orobatid mite labour in order to disperse the cells of their photobionts. Are those still ok?

That’s so cool! 😄 You are lucky to have anoles in your potted plants, enjoy them! I have returned to the Netherlands and reptiles are not too common around here 😔

And the answer is… absolutely not! My mistake 😅

I made a Nudibranch community but no mollusks community… I will fix that and move this post there. Thanks :)

Right?! And many people complain about them and want to exterminate them 🥲

Thanks!!
