Asiatic primrose (Primula capitata), unlike most primroses that #flower strictly in spring, often pushes its vibrant violet-purple, drumstick-like flower heads into late summer and autumn the plants are hardy to -20°C (-4°F) #BloomScrolling #Gardening #BlueTue #Purple #Autumn #Garden

Petunia 'Black Velvet' (Petunia × atkinsiana), really not a true black, but a deep maroon colour, spotted in a neighbour's #garden last weekend. Not sure yet if it's my cup of tea, but it would be great in a spooky #Hallowe'en window box or hanging basket 🎃 #Flowers #BloomScrolling #Gardening

This.

Here's a Western Bluebird from one of my local haunts. #BirdoftheDay #Perched #birds #wildlife

I love this so, so much!

The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

Can’t believe our tax dollars are being used for political ads. The White House is now airing a taxpayer-funded ad during commercial breaks on Fox News. The 30-second spot has all the markings of a campaign ad, except the disclaimer at the bottom says: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.
