“Garça branca” by Rosana Paulino (Brazilian) - Graphite, acrylic, and natural pigment on canvas / 2023 - Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Argentina) #WomenInArt #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #Paulino #MALBA #art #artText #artwork #BlueskyArt #RosanaPaulino #BrazilianArtist
This centerpiece of a very large triptych rendered in hues of flaxen yellow and maize depicts a towering woman rising from a lattice of mangrove roots. As part human and part tree, her form is both ascending and anchored. Her skin, mottled in ochre and sienna, reads as both bark and scar, a living record of endurance. Her short, textured black hair frames her face with luminous aquamarine eyes and full lips from which crimson bromeliads blossom, unfurling into the air. Around her throat and ears, similar red petals gather like ceremonial adornments. Her left hand is lifted in benediction or invocation; her right hovers near her chest holding up a red blossom. On either side, interlocking branches and roots braid into a serpentine web, painted in warm earth tones that pulse with quiet movement. Two white herons stand poised among the roots. The composition seems to breathe like a rhythm of rootedness and renewal with each gesture suspended between stillness and becoming. As part of Brazilian artist Rosana Paulino’s “Mangue (Mangrove)” series, this work transforms the mangrove’s ecology into a representation of Black female survival. The woman, both rooted and ascending, embodies the cyclical force of regeneration by portraying the body as terrain through which memory, ancestry, and the natural world interlace. The egret (garça branca) appears here as a threshold guardian, a creature bridging water and sky. In Brazilian cosmology, it often signifies passage, wisdom, and rebirth. Paulino’s practice, grounded in material experimentation and feminist thought, sutures the violences of colonial history with gestures of care and continuity. Born in São Paulo in 1967, she describes her “Mangue” works as “returning to the mud, to the roots that feed us and hold us steady.” In “Garça branca,” the triptych becomes a living altar to resilience like an invocation of the woman who stands, steadfast, where sea and soil converge.

The Jamaican Blackbird is #endangered on the #IUCN Red List. Restricted to only 2 areas of the island, Blue Mountains and Cockpit Country. Lives in tall mature trees and the canopy, feeding on epiphytes and bromeliads. Local name: “Wild Pine Sargeant.” Threatened by bauxite mining, development.

Mom got chrysanthemums and gourds.

I bought a couple bromeliads. Don't know what the smaller red-pink one is. No tag. The larger one (Subaru crosstrek for scale) was $25. Need to split it since all of that is in a tiny 3.5"/9cm pot

For the Gardens 25th anniversary I welded this rebar and chicken wire frame for Sherry. She then stuffed it with dyed hay and a mix of bromeliads and succulents.

#SciArtSeptember Day 8: Niche 🌿🦎

High in tropical trees, bromeliads form tiny water-filled pockets that serve as refuges—a unique niche for insects, microorgs., spiders & even amphibians.

#SciArtSeptember 2 - Canopy.

A branch full of epiphytes somewhere in the Costa Rican mountains.

Migratory animals, such as the summer tanagers in this piece, tie together ecosystems across continents. They are just one of the many reasons why conservation is a joint effort.
Illustration of a large branch covered with moss and epiphytes, such as ferns, bromeliads, and orchids, based on photos of Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve in Costa Rica. There are three birds in the image: a purple-blue hummingbird called the violet sabrewing, and yellow and red birds that are female and male summer tanagers. The summer tanager is a migratory bird that overwinters in Central America and nests in North America.

Bromeliads are members of the pineapple family Bromeliaceae. They are perennial herbs that lack woody stems and typically grow on other plants or substrates. Bromeliads are not mosses as some of their common names suggest.

This bit stuck with me when i read Pratchetts Nome Trilogy when i was young i and decided i didn't want to be one of those parochial types.
“We were just the same age and living in the same hole,’ she said vaguely. She looked up. ‘But it’s all different now! There’s . . . well, there’s the frogs, for one thing.’ Masklin looked blank. And, for once, Grimma looked unsure. ‘I read about them in a book,’ she said. ‘There’s this place, you see. Called Southamerica. And there’s these hills where it’s hot and rains all the time, and in the rain forests there are these very tall trees and right in the top branches of the trees there are these like great big flowers called bromeliads and water gets into the flowers and makes little pools and there’s a type of frog that lays eggs in the pools and tadpoles hatch and grow into new frogs and these little frogs live their whole lives in the flowers right at the top of the trees and don’t even know about the ground and the world is full of things like that and now I know about them and I’m never ever going to be able to see them and then you,’ she gulped for breath, ‘want me to come and live with you in a hole and wash your socks!”

Hi 👋 I'm Cat! I am a freshwater ecologist based in Fort Collins, Colorado. I study species interactions and what influences these interactions in many different aquatic systems -- fish, riparian plants, and (my favorite) bugs that live in tank bromeliads (see last photo).

My matchstick bromeliads!
My pot of matchstick bromeliads with two spikes. The plants have long dark green leaves with white stripes and the spikes are long and thin with pink and blue flowers coming off them in. A bottle brush kind of shape. They look a little like match sticks, hence the name.

Remembering The Mirage Hotel and Casino. ❤️

The Mirage closed permanently in July of 2024, to be transformed into a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino with a 700’ tall guitar-shaped hotel! It’s expected to open in late 2027!

The photo depicts a lush, tropical garden with a small stone waterfall in the background. Vibrant plants and flowers, including red, orange, and pink bromeliads, green foliage, and variegated leaves, fill the foreground. A sign reading "Mirage" is visible above the waterfall.

Bromeliads

These actually belong to my neighbor, but she's in the Navy and has been at sea for awhile, so I'm watering them. Ha, I don't think she would even care if they die, but they're right outside my door.

The Mediterranean glasshouse will be better in a few years but is already impressive, and there's also a new steamy little tropical house full of aroids and bromeliads.
