Yes, looks like a hybrid between a muppet and a Christmas decoration - where on earth did you find this thing? is it a natural photo - I mean have you removed or added structures, styled its hair or something? I find it hard to believe that there are such creatures among our flora PS - I was very bu...

I think that greenhorn deserves the beer not me - once you confirmed that greenhorn identified the genus, it was than easy to get the species. With the flower only, i had absolutely no idea. When you put the pictures of the fruit I immediately thought of Cardiospermum , but I was under the (obviousl...

Yes, it does have 3 pairs of legs just like the adult, which it uses for swimming and crawling on the bottom. Since they are a sort of transparent yellow colour, they would not easily be seen. As Keith rightly said it bites badly- in fact it is a voracious cannibalistic predator, since fellow diving...

I think it must be rather infrequent or rare - I have never found it or noticed it myself - good find - I had no idea of what it was - I did try to look up a few sources but did not manage to arrive anywhere. It is high time that I start looking more carefully at these less spectacular and more diff...

You are right to be shocked - it is worrying indeed - I have been there very recently - in most places the water has now gone, but there was a thick mat of semi-dessicated algae in many areas - no wonder nitrophilous alien plants seem to keep on increasing indefinitely in our valley systems, especia...

I think you are probably right regarding the widened standard, which could rule out T. nigrescens - perhaps the shape of the standard looks more like that of T. campestre , which is also common but which does not seem to form such nice mats as those formed by T.nigrescence, of course assuming that I...

Looking at it that way, there certainly is a good reason to have some more respect for ornamentals - I like them because many are somewhat unusual, fancy and spectacular like that Chorisia - thanks I now know what it is - (I am sure that they would look even better in their natural habitat) but i kn...
