Crab spider, looks like she caught a bee, on the ornamental allium in my yard
I'm still very new and don't have a great set up or lens yet so I'm pretty proud of how I've done so far!
Anyone else enjoy finding fat spiders in their garden? I feel it should be a kind of contest for green witches. I have some champions this year, first there is Ayesha the ghost spider, and now a new orb-weaver contestant, it was so full today it just stared at the aphid I placed in it’s web, I am calling that one Pumpkin.
One thing I think relates to me being a green witch is the fact that I enjoy being aware of the small snails that are out and about after it rains. Though it did happen that I had sometimes stepped on one or two accidentally 🥲 I'm trying to be more careful because of that
Idk how many of you guys know about this Christian thing,but my mom would sometimes go around the house,burning that frankincense thing whenever she gives alms(english is not my first language,this is what google told me it was called lol).or something like that.Could I count this as her doing some of the cleansing on my part? 😂
We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from future generations.
This painting reflects that idea through two children nurturing a young plant, reminding us that every act of care helps life grow. 🌿
Happy World Environment Day!
Does anyone here grow their own abre camino, aka road opener plant? I have the Florida shrub thoroughwort variety in a pot in my semi-enclosed patio (zone 9b). It thrived for a few years but got an aphid infestation and never quite recovered even after I controlled the aphids. I love the plant dearly and I'm trying to help it recover. If any abre camino growers have care tips, I'm all ears. It's not a common house plant, so care tips are hard to come by. When I ask other plant enthusiasts, they aren't familiar with the plant. But maybe some of you are given that it's used as a road opener.
Ghost spiders adopted me as familiars a few years ago, and this year’s brood is spicy. Usually I wait until the Summer solstice to give them names, but this jewel came into the world like a cage-fighter and took no prisoners, so she will be Aisha, after the Saharan Djinn queen. During the day she lounges between rose petals munching on thrips, at night she goes out hunting in the jungle of thorns for larger prey and the occasional male, which probably looks like a neon Colosseum to their eyes, judging by the way they and the rose glow under UV light.
I have Berggarten Sage, Heather, Japanese Honeysuckle, Spanish Lavender and Rosemary.
I’m not quite sure where to start.
English perfume roses and Datura
I've been struggling emotionally lately with perimenopause making it so much worse. Overwhelmed by all the garden projects I've decided I MUST DO this year. Then I went out to water the seedlings sitting in my raised garden bed that I haven't had the mental energy to actually plant and found this little soul.
Seeing that my crappy garden was still worthwhile.... that my organic veggie garden methods matter... that little Stanley choose MY garden has been the best medicine! Yes I named him Stanley.
I'm thinking frogs are my familiar. I would never have guessed frogs, but we live nowhere near a pond or permanent water source. This neighborhood is all new construction (4 years old) with no mature trees.
I truly believe Stanley is a gift from Nature to remind me that not everything we do has to be epic in scale. Little things matter!
