2·3 years agoI accidentally came upon this same system messing around during long periods of boredom, and now I do all my counting this way. I also include the base joint of each finger so I can count 4 per digit

I’m wearin’ myself a T-shirt That says “The world is my ashtray” Our hearts pump dust And our hair’s all gray And I just got a message that says “Yeah, hell has frozen over” I got a phone call from the Lord sayin’ “Hey, boy, get a sweater, right now!”
01·3 years agoI’ve been rocking OLauncher for a few months now, I love it. Cutting down the extra noise on my home screen felt good.
Nice K. diagremontiana! Mine grew so damn big I had to chop its head off.
Yes I did a bit of color correcting, it was for a joke about Etsy posts and I can’t find the original now

Just started the community up, let’s get it going!
That’s always fun.
“Hey, check out this binomial name!”
“Uh, can I get that in English?”
“… I dunno”
Always will remind me of a great bluegrass album

Gorgeous photo! Looks like an eastern carpenter bee on perhaps a sow thistle?
Time to get a good solid botanical society going on this platform.
You must be confused, or perhaps you’re not talking about the same species that I am thinking about. Huckleberries, genus Gaylussacia, are definitely in the same family as blueberries, Vaccinium. They’re both Ericaceae, in the subfamily Vaccinioideae. Gaylussacia is definitely not in Solanaceae.
Two species of blueberry as well as cranberry grow natively in a few bog habitats near my home, and huckleberries are also sympatric with these species.
ETA: I saw some context from other comments in this chain that somebody else already beat me to this. I, too, didn’t realize that there were, if you were, “false” huckleberries in the nightshade family.
To add to both of our shared confusion, there is even a false huckleberry from within the blueberry family, but instead the Ericoideae subfamily: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/553849-Rhododendron-menziesii. I have no experience with this plant, or even really this subfamily, as it isn’t exactly endemic to my neck of the woods.
