Mainly plants and pretty things, with a dollop of music/TV geekery, and random nonsense

FISC 5, still makes mistakes 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Low-level tolerance to wankery. Swears more than my mother would like.
Thanks 🙂

Two sites are on the verge of being washed away/slipping into the sea. Being battered by wind, storms and spray means they rarely flower, nevermind produce seed. Cuttings is their only survival method.

Four Tees Valley sites for this species have less than a handful of individuals. Ex-situ growing, bulking up and creating back-up populations helps preserve and expand gene pools as well as producing plants to link up scattered populations.

I'd give it a go. Hopefully some of the ones we translocated have some spores next year.

This year I've steam-treated on the hob. I got banned by the other half from using the microwave after I nearly blew it up when a hidden small stone exploded 😬🤦‍♂️😂

I kept mine sealed in tubs on sterilised compost, which helped with moss.

Ah, that's interesting!

@botanicalmartin.bsky.social and I helped @whitbybotanist.bsky.social with a Rustyback translocation from a building restoration to a cemetery wall not so long back. We lost a few, but good to know there's an option for ex-situ propagation
