Here's a thing.

@MLE_online

oof, as they say.

@MLE_online @fredy

Fun & wit is rather often seen as devaluing the "value" of art, doesn't get taken seriously.

Ridiculous attitude. As if you have to have a furrowed brow when art presents itself.

@coffeecatdotorg lol

The one with the belt full of spray cans

(If anyone's wondering how I have Sevilles in June, it's because I buy a few kg in January and whack them straight in the freezer)

Anyway, all annoyances aside, it's Start The Marmalade Day.

what a Very Fucking Annoying morning.

just a quick "fuck lidl" for the fediverse here.

I was just scrolling the timelines at bluseky and was suddenly presented with an AI Gandalf with Huge Naturals, and I mean my hatred for genai images is as great as anybody's, but honestly I couldn't stop laughing for quite a while.

@MLE_online @fredy

I really like that Kristy Moreno piece top right. Witty.

@MLE_online
I had to search what that model looks like, and this is very funny.

@ancientsounds @ukorchids

I asked Dr. Richard Bate (he's on Bsky) and his reply was
"In isolation, your first plant looks like an intermediate of D. fuchsii and D. maculata. But the others look bang on for D. maculata."

@ancientsounds @ukorchids
Orchids have collapsed round here the past few years. There's about a tenth of the number this year in this field. Its the same up on the downs. Used to be literally acres of them. Depressing.

@ancientsounds
I pored over those damn line drawings in Stace trying to figure it out, but I was none the wiser, so plumped for CSO. Unlikely habitat for HSO but plants don't play by the rules the little rascals.

@nebogeo @l03s
Oh no @MLE_online seems to have dropped off the reply list.

@Lesley4Nature
