Cheers mate. Enjoy Adelaide.

Polygala, meh!!. AW
meh, indeed! totally malignant bushes, surround a host's root system, kill it, feed within its micro shelter, and annihilate any and all biodiversity..

Basesix. Hi mate. In the big apple, how’s the weather there ?
Yes, it’s a real widespread pest on the Mornington Peninsula, not so much on the Surf Coast, some isolated areas have a fair bit, then you see a few here and there, I pull them out immediately .
If everyone pulled them out when they see them, we could possibly halt the spread.
Boneseed, I do the same. AW

I used to rip things out, from the empty blocks, that I'd heard were bad, between bike rides and cubby building and stuff. If kids still did outdoors, totally, arm them with the ripping out thing, my kids are outdoor-ish, did my best, but they didn't really get vibed on pulling polygala on the weekend. the youth today. hahahahha. ah well, I'm just gonna give up and let ferknards, polygala, meglamonolons, and smurfs gently take over. and sit and smile at how we are all casually spinnin silently in a void. I think we all do our best.. ferknards included. (meglamonolons are easier to take if you just go limp).
^ obviously metaphorical homo inventions, AW, people are strange, varied, and to be tolerated in their weirdness.. no particular threads or characters in mind.. wonderful stuff on the photos thread @Craig! I felt every moment of those clips, thankfully could see them on SN without insta, brilliant mate, what a joy..

unreal here @blackers, same temperature as brissy and the goldy, but minus the cloud cover. happy spring, SN. leave the grumps behind. get wet, go for a walk, drive, stick some tunes on, bloody good this not-being-dead lark.
Is this the weird crazy thread ?
?si=fTl17fHoUpQf4DEU @Basesix
Hi there
But how’s the ocean temperature there,
I think I noticed it dropped off South of Kangaroo Island or somewhere?
Adelaide's always ok @J-L, like scotland and north UK, has warm water streams, but where I normally am, where @blackers has just been, is bone-numbing.. some of those maps @Craig has posted about the ocean heatwave (all reds and yellows) around my 'home base' has been blue as blue can be! I went to a Tim Flannery thing at Womad a few years ago, where Tim said those cold water canyons off KI, could be used to cultivate vast kelp forests to suck CO2 out of the atomosphere.. have always wanted to ask someone like @AW what they think of that.. as soon as we do a thing, my assumption is we'll fk something else?
Yes, quite chilly still
Yes I lived on Yorkes for a while and Port Lincoln, ocean temp didn’t seem too bad from memory , maybe the water getting heated up in the Gulfs .
Definitely felt a drop on the Robe coast.
On the positive side, it probably reduces the crowds , and 4/5 ml steamer wetsuits keep you a lot fitter than, us lazy northerners.

Juliang. Yeah , it is now you’ve made an appearance.
Hi. Hope you’re well.
I’ve spotted your name on this thread, my heart rate immediately increased.
I’m going to be honest with you, your performance on another thread is bordering on sleep inducement. That’s your opinions, fine.
I ask you kindly to not corrupt this thread with a mouth diarrhoea monotone.
This is 99% a biological thread inter dispersed with fast paced changes in mood that in reality refreshes the content and conversation and makes a quick u turn back to the topic at hand, please let’s keep it that way. Without prejudice and malice. All the best. AW

Basesix. Hi mate, in essence, Tim Flannery is right, the three algal groups, Red, Brown and Green can and already to that job, but I concur with your comment, messing with kelp forests and their associated ecologies in my opinion is fraught with danger.
From memory Southern Australia has 70% of the worlds kelp forests, they are a national treasure.
One of our biggest concerns at present is the destruction of phytoplankton as a result of warming water and especially its trans global circulation that reaches the poles, in particular Antarctic Bottom Water. AW
I thought it was the weird strange thread , sorry about that sir , my mistake
So is this the thread where you can mention climate change .?
You never make it clear what actually offends
you, Just an insult then an all the best, wish .
I get the Cure video is offensive and out of place , but so has some of your past insults,
Oh and then you change your mind.

you,
When did I suggest you were offending me, I’m clearly informing you of the gist of this thread, again, contribute with discussion related to it.
Surely you must know or observe the world around you, then again, maybe you don’t.
Botany Nerds Ahoy is as I’ve mentioned is an all encompassing biological thread, of course we talk weather, it’s related to the biological world.
There are a couple of threads in existence, Climate, Climate Change etc.
Check them out under the heading Forums, they are in one of the two sets Wax On & Wax Off, in your case Climate, you’ll find that in Wax Off.
Please no TRUMPet blowing . All the best. AW
Well actually a month diarrhoea monotone ,
accusation is actually offensive,
A bit disingenuous to say that
Then wish someone all the best

Well you’re easily offended then.
Go back to the Trump thread and read all your posts, my opinion is it’s monotonous.
As you’ve said before if you don’t like it , don’t follow it, so I don’t.
I/we simply don’t want the same on this thread, I’m not having a crack at you, merely suggesting different threads exist for different discussions , you’ve already plonked the Trump Album you play on repeat across two threads not wanting that stuff. It can’t be any clearer.
Beware of the StuHammer. AW
Let's get back on track. Here's one I missed from KI Alfred.
Glad you’re still talking about, varying ocean temperatures and KI
Which I introduced into the conversation.
Erm, no. Stay in lane.

Blackers. Hi. Home safely?
Beautiful photo I must say, sadly it’s an introduced pest, one of the Asphodels.
Asphodelus fistulosus. AW
Edit. To an untrained eye, it looks very similar to two common native plants Burchardia umbellata Milkmaids and Wurmbea dioicia Early Nancy which are both outstanding plants heralding Spring.
All 3 plants mentioned here are Lilies.
In your photo you can see a standard Lily floral formula. Look closely, the Perianth (which is the sum total of sepals and petals in this case. 6 ) It is called 3+3. You can see 3 sepals the outer whorl and inner whorl 3 petals. Written as Perianth 3+3.
It’s a great clue to identification.

Juliang. Hi mate.
Grab ya phone , camera whatever, take some snaps of something, we know very little about your loves.
Surely you see birds, mammals, amphibians, plants, invertebrates. etc.
Love you to get involved, we are all learners. AW
Seems a keen interest for some, so why not.
