Red Fire Orchids (Pyrorchis nigricans), loved working on this watercolour commission. These orchids usually only flower after a fire & they don't need pollination from other flowers to reproduce, amazing! #orchid #botanicalart #watercolour #botanicalpainting

I, a biologist, do my best to understand the connections among inflation, employment, interest rates, debt, and bond markets.
In my experience economists do not do the same with CO2 levels, ocean acidification, falling fish stocks, temperature, pollination failures, and resulting social conflict.

Scolding climate advocates for ignoring economic analysis is counterproductive: our analyses don’t capture the costs and benefits they care about. We should push for more cost-benefit thinking from a place of humility about what we can and can’t deliver: www.theargumentmag.com/p/what-econo...

Ours blooms several times a year but the bloom does only last 10hrs.
Amazing to smell too. These are clones, I need an outside one for pollination and fruit.

Magnolia acuminata is the only North American native deciduous magnolia species that naturally carries yellow pigments in its blossoms. Because magnolias evolved before bees, their flowers are anatomically structured for pollination by beetles. #flowers #nature #biology #evolution

Agricultural management should prioritize integrated strategies that reduce pesticide pressure, enhance habitat, and support wild pollinator diversity to maintain resilient pollination services in intensive agroecosystems 🍯 🐝 🌼

I think it's ok as long as there isn't cross pollination, then it would feel redundant.
