Dang, the goblin in me wanted some for my collection 😅 I bet they look awesome during a breeze.
Beautiful 🧙♀️ I love the naturalized look, so much texture!
What's the tall purple flower in the second pic?
They look like they belong on another planet 😄
Thanks! Yay, I can see your comments now :)
Wikipedia says you're right! That's a hilarious origin 😂
The egg-shaped green fruits 'may pop' when stepped on. This phenomenon gives the P. incarnata its common name, as well as the fact that its roots can remain dormant for most of the winter underground and then the rest of the plant "pops" out of the ground by May, unharmed by the snow.
I just checked vegantheoryclub.org and none of the newer posts on there are showing up on my subscribed feed. Last one is from 14 hours ago.
I see your other comment though! The colors remind me of a galaxy print ✨️
I think there might be a federation lag? I can't see all the comments 🤔 I'll check back later, hopefully things catch up.
The planting time was coincidence 😁 I read the "pop" comes from the sound the fruit makes when crushed. Maybe "May" is from when they usually start blooming? Though wildflower.org says they can flower from March to November.
Do y'all have a community for socialism on this instance? I miss the veganarchism subreddit so much :(
I've seen folks online use Virginia creeper and pokeberry to dye fabrics, a soft green and vibrant purple respectively. I'd love to take a crack at them on cotton, maybe even a natural tie dye!
The US Forest Service has a chart with plants and their corresponding colors. I wonder if there's a dye community on lemmy 🤔
