Significant improvements over my old paper board have been made, and new specimens have been cataloged

Thanks for the pointers πŸ‘

I'm limited in space so I was going to try for shohin size ones. If they grow any bigger than that I may have to move πŸ˜†

An occlupanological treasure trove donated to HORG, found at a recycling facility. Contained within a small ziploc bag were over 30 species, a high rate of microsyntheric diversity! Many of these species, once commonly encountered in the wild, are today mostly observed in clatterings such as these.

As far as I'm aware mine are just plain little trees

I'm looking forward to seeing if the palmetto ends up looking like a tiny version of the big thing

Up close photo of what I believe to be live oak seedlings.  The leaves are teardrop shaped with no serrations on the edges and  single prominent crease down the middle.

Photo of an unidentified seedling in a planter.  The leaves are teardrop shaped but with serrated ends which appear to come to three points.  There is a prominent crease down the middle with smaller veins running to the tips

Additionally if any botanists or gardeners can help identify these two seedlings.

I know I have a palmetto and cedars, I think the first one is a live oak, but the last escapes me

Photo of 4 ceramic planters on drip plates at the base of a floor-to-ceiling window.  Each ceramic plate contains soil and at least 1 seedling.

Starting what I hope to be a successful foray into raising some #bonsai trees

I'm starting with some seedlings and will hopefully be able to keep them alive long enough for some results

Advice is appreciated!

Photo of the Pamlico Sound as seen from a ferry deck.  There is little wind so the water's surface is still with very little wave action.  The sky is clear with only distant clouds and the sky and horizon seem to blend together.

I love the stories that used vinyls can tell

Case in point, on April 9, 2018, at 3:46 PM someone walked out of the Hardβ€’Off secondhand store in Higashimurayama, Tokyo, with two secondhand records after paying 216 yen ($2.00 in 2018)
They paid with a 500 yen coin and got 284 yen in change

Everyone goes to the beach in summer for the sea and the sun

I go in the winter so I can stand in the fog and perfect my brooding glare

Species card of a bright green Acutignathid occlupanid, Migrugibba vulpis "Little bumps of the fox". Discovered by Students at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC. It has been since found in two locations, on opposite ends of the continent, both times inside large diverse hoards of other occlupanids.

While sorting through a pile of occlupanids in biology class as an introduction to taxonomy, students at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC noticed some small green occlupanids that did not fit into any of the dichotomous keys they were creating, and perhaps found an unidentified species...

Photo of a vinyl record on a turntable with the album propped up beside it.  The album cover features a photograph of a grassy hill with two trees against a blue sky.  Plain white text in the corner reads "George Winston Winter Into Spring Piano Solos"

Photo of a 7-inch single record on a turntable with the sleeve propped up behind it.  The sleeve features a color photograph of three men seated on the deck of a sailboat conversing with each other.  Plain text at the top reads "Crosby, Stills & Nash" and below that "Southern Cross"

🎡 Crosby, Stills & Nash - Southern Cross (1982)

Atlantis is unique, half of it's a spoken word poem and it still managed to hit the Top 10 around the world

Calypso is one of John Denver's finest as far as I'm concerned

Clever!

I'm thinking if someone were to make an octopus squid character they should have the ears and tentacles of an octoling but the eyes, teeth, and hands of an inkling

It would be cool to see a character based on an octopus squid, perhaps as a spy among octarians or an inkling who is always mistaken for an octoling

There's actually a species of irl squid called "octopus squid" because two of their tentacles stop growing before fully maturing which means they kinda only have 8 tentacles

Inktolings remind me of that

Photo of a CD jewel case on top of a record player.  The album cover is a photo-collage of medieval-style illustrations of a woman and a baby superimposed over a blue-tinted photo of the moon with a few random fish flying around and a parchment or manuscript in the background.  The title at the top is printed in medieval-style font and reads "Pilgrimage  9 Songs of Ecstasy"
