Trifolium incarnatum aka Crimson Clover. Family Fabaceae. Native to most of Europe (but can be found in North America). It’s an invasive annual, although if you simply cut it down before it goes to seed you’ll be fine.

innerbohemienne:

 A 110 million-year-old fossil of Cleoniceras ammonite, found in Madagascar. Ammonites are extinct cephalopods that lived in shells. Their closest modern relatives are nautiluses, octopi, squid, and cuttlefish. Like the nautilus, ammonites gradually added onto their shell to accommodate their increasing body mass. As they extended the shell they built a wall behind them, closing up the now too-narrow portion of the shell as they moved into the larger portion of the spiral.

Unlike the nautilus, the morphology of the tissue wall ammonites built between the chambers is not just a smooth curved wall. Instead it has a bizarrely complex 3-dimensional fractal shape. These are called “suture patterns” and mark the intersection of the septum walls with the shell. Scientists can’t agree why these walls are so complexly furrowed or even how they formed.

All That the Rain Promises and More…  (David Arora)

I was in Mt. Shasta when I first saw this book. It was in the Flora & Fauna section of a used bookstore but sadly, it was display-only and wasn’t for sale. If it was for sale, I would have bought it immediately. This is the coolest mushroom book I’ve ever come across. If I wasn’t a broke college student, I’d buy it right now. But I am a broke college student, so it’s going on my Christmas list. Also, the mycologist who wrote it is a fucking badass cool guy and his house is adorably cozy-looking and I’ll post pictures of his house.

I generally don’t reblog, but jeez, this deserves as much coverage as possible.  This guy kind of reminds me of a character that could emerge from the movie “Pink Flamingos”, except his fly is zipped.

The Monkees - Listen to the Band

from The Monkees Present, 1969

The penultimate Monkees record (not counting reunions), and possibly the weirdest and also possibly the best Monkees record made by the Monkees.
