Oh guess what we got this weekend! Woohoo! All the intensive efforts hand-watering, sun screen cloth and jasmine fertilizer have paid off. First blooms this year. There are so many clusters of tiny buds I think we will have even more blooms today. The scent is heavenly. And from the photo you can see I did go ahead and get the blue herons! #Backyard #Jasmine #Vines #Flowers

One of the blue heron outdoor decorations in front of a giant post with jasmine vine growing up a white trellis by the front post of a tall white arbor. You can see the leafy green vine is filled with many branches, green oblong leaves and tiny white flowers. We are training the vines to grow up the arbor and start to grow across the arbor. This is in front of a gray cement block wall. Under the arbor there is a 3 shelf white rack with small potted plants.
Close view of tiny white jasmine flowers shaped like 5 petal stars and many thin clusters of buds nearby. They tend to droop down on the vine. The leaves a medium dark green oblong shape coming to a rounded point. You can see blurry white arbor post and trellis in background.

#Lightning strikes usually kill #trees. This one just grows stronger npr.org/2025/04/11/nx-s1-53574

How some tropical trees benefit from being struck by lightning nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/do

"The lightning's power cleanses these trees of parasitic #vines. It also zaps trees nearby, reducing competition. Dipteryx oleifera, a towering presence in #Panama's forests, is particularly adept at thriving after enduring events that are deadly to most other trees."

Sunday stoll

Not a usual discussion about photography this time. As this post is out of schedule, I decided to cover something more in line with A day in the life. I’m taking you on a walk around my village.

As I mentioned before, I normally walk on my own after each meal, often in the house because of the weather and to be available for work just in case an emergency arises. But at the weekend, I sometimes go for a walk with my wife instead if the weather is nice. As spring has arrived (the geese and cranes are back and the birds are starting to be noisy in the morning), we went for a Sunday walk after lunch.

When we visited the Christchurch Botanic gardens recently my daughter took me to this ancient ivy, her favorite plant in the gardens. It has some terrifically twisted, creepy H. R. Eiger vibes.

It grows up the side of a giant sequoia tree that was planted in 1873. I expect the ivy cannot be much younger than that as its base is completely smothered by large sequoia roots.

A closer photo of the base of an ancient English ivy vine. It's many old stems have twisted about each other to make one chaotically twisty trunk. For full-res photos, see https://inaturalist.nz/observations/260229137
