At 16,000 feet in the Andean puna. Walking through a bofedales, a unique alpine wetlands ecosystem that forms from feedback between vegetation and groundwater. Distichia grasses form cushions, which help retain water by altering the local topography.

Check out this thread for some hot in-ground Boophone distichia flowering action. It'll get pretty good, I promise. Starting off with the bud from last saturday.

He had too many eyelashes. Literally too pretty. Elizabeth Taylor had the same condition.

🔍 👓 Quite the challenge to meassure #leaf #traits for this characteristic #Andean #wetland plant: #Distichia muscoides. Just look at the size of the leaf (green tooth-shaped bit on the left of my palm) 2/3

He's twelve, and this is the first health problem he's had, other than distichia (extra eyelashes that we treated with surgery) and seizures (successfully treated with meds)

I thought he might have distichia because the thought of him wearing eyeliner while saying and doing the shit he does is just so unbelievably unhinged. But no. The bitch just likes Maybelline.
