'Thorny attractions...' ; Or, of the Garden, the Bees, the Heats... ; Or, ...

 

'Prior Section' ;

(Pic, beside) :  From Nemi. - ...Forgotten what the story's name - but it goes back even for that 'golden age' - so early when there even wasn't any humans around...even vulcanism was prevalent common. ; Notice also for it's blackened eyes, and that healthy 'pile' of the acorns. That's how the true treasures are for made - by the 'sweat and the from w. brow'.

 

; ...First from - Are these for the few 'foretastes' from. In a below, onwards until 'main' section.

As the garden flowers - On this post, (mostly), the essential part. And some part the Weathers. And on a lastly section, then a few 'Ecom-Recoms'. 'All of that' - from briefly as possible. Hopefully. ------- 

; By the recent (were) flowering, ao...

...the Bee Balms (Monarda d.), that were at the moment just coming for flowerings. (On early of July, what by that meant from.) As there's not any bees in the photo - one might be lead to think that a plant isn't from so much favored by the local bees.

...But it was an early morning - and the weather (,from quite exceptionally to this July), was of quite cloudy still by the time. Even (it was) of relative cold. By six o-clock it was not more than around for the 12-13 degrees Celsius. Yet, on occasional times we were now finding the nightly temperatures having  kept that well over some 20-degrees plus. That from, allthrough some subsequent nights. Which - obviously, would seem to represented the unusual continuous warm 'phases', cons this being North in the temperate zone. 

- Which not the quite so exeptional than some Winter night-temperatures for over 10-Celsius plus degrees, that  it in a few years back was. (But somewhat exceptional still.)

  ------------ 

However...as the bees weren't (apparently) 'neglecting' our Bee Balms (.didyma), then where were they ?

 

...The answer for that was to be found on a few meters away; The whole lot from an early awakening 'bunch' (bumbles) was already in 'full-time work' at that early - Or, for were discovered from feeds at my one now well-grown/developed Field Scabious(es), - oops ! - of course, in fact that actually, is the Centaurea scabiosa (ie, the Greater Knapweed) - How I confused their names from? (must've been from...but nevermind that.)   

It had been already for blooming by, somewhat...say, from at least a week 'till by now. 

 

; Soforth, you notice - they're the very opportunists (, those bees, 'bumbles') on their choices for... Often are found 'a plentiest' at places  where the nectars and other 'conditions' tend appear to be the most favorable. 

; Such as, fx, on a place those Scabiosa grow for, the mild sunlight begins to warm-up the place for a slight bit earlier. That difference might mean a few hours more in an effective harvest-time - to their any benefit.

  ----------------

 (Also...), on a very previous evening/night I had been photographing a one of those 'fully stopped' on the flower by this said Scabious-plant. (In the morning), the others were, apparently, by the impression, from very 'buzy' - but this one wasn't as yet still movin'. Not anyhow remarkably 'exceptional' either. In the early by mornings...Or, sometimes the day, when after from a very sudden rain having from 'passed over', one can usually find some specimen similarly of 'immobilized' on the flowers. (Or, for 'keepin cover', on undersides to those, actually. If from arrivin' very soon after the rainpours.) ; Guess' it's all part their "natures"...A part of the (natural) 'adaptations'. And an opportunistic behaviours.

 

A few 'glimpses' more, of that garden, in addit...

 

; During by some of the most heated days by June, I had the chance for finally see my Liquorice-plant for flower too. It's blooms are not very remarkably 'amazing'-lookin' , though...

...But anyway, it was sort like some reward for all the 'efforts' devoted for growing that plant, by the formerly.

(Might be, I've seen that flower by formerly, some year. But at this season was the more plentysome too - Because from these very heats, very obviously...) 

 

 

 

; Also, my Oenothera biennis, Common Evening Primrose(s) been at flowering since from the Mid-Summer days. 

..As can be seen at the adjacent 'spike' - or it for  easy noticed from the pic - that it develops continuosly the fewsome flowers, more by each night. - The new blooms tend appear around, ca, from around 6 to 10 at evening (ie, p.m.), and they're then lasting past the night. In a next morning the previous night emerged always start 'wane', or dry-up, falling off by during the followed day. ; I've not so much observed, but apparently the variety (Syrphid-, or Hover-) Flies and numbers for Moths do visit those. (Incl. Sphingidae, the Hawk-Moths too...) As the developing blooms - during the nights - appear now to be quite scented. So are much favored by those, then. 

; It being for a quite large plant too, think some of those are now grown for around, ca by 1.5 meter tall. So there seems now to emerge flowers all the more, for the minimum, for past some weeks still...  ------------- 

; The (Main) 'Section': 

 

[Photo] ; ...A flower from my Hollyhocks (Alcea rosea). They're indeed very impressive lookin', w. large flowers, by gradually developing at the stem. ...Each one, seems last only for a day, or, maybe for two-threesome days. (When it is cloudier, perhaps ?) ; The bumble is for some 'commonest', Tree Bumble bee (B.hypnorum) 

; ...And, such as one can see of the photo - the variety ('Watchman') actually ain't 'black' by color - as the packet erringly stated for, and I then so resultant assumed deom. (In the prev post). More like (very) deep 'reddish' - but not like the beetroot red - like the 'carmine red', more about. ; Them been flowering now from - since 1st week on July. Apparently that might last 'till the end of the Month.

Sinceafter (and despite of) my some concerned 'wonderings about', presented in the previous post, the Weathers turned out for early Summer weeks the more favorable. (Or, for a period for some, about, the Month early Summer Season. Or, about so.)

; Therefore, we fx seemed to this year having from avoided the conditions that seen by a few years back. (A then experienced continued 'drought' and dry-up began already from during the Months by Spring (April/May). ; Or so it – kind of - felt, that the rains as well, just might, on this year appear received in some good amounts. In the more decent 'portions', sort of. If not, actually, from w. the quite same levels as their any regularity used to. - Or, let's just further for say: In some 'normal' amounts, that meaning somewhat more 'steadier' rate from those than by the recent years been....common.

So, I'd about guessed in an early from our Summer season – perhaps of the recall from the Spring having appeared the relative cold, Winter bit longer lasting.

...However, since from the begins by June, this year (2021), we've now suffered to these more or less continuous heats.

And for any truth said, it been so much above any former 'general average', that a most recent weather report seemed for remark the followed: In the June there was more sunshiny days than could've been found, for any compare, even at some former recorded warmest years.

(In some regions, inner country, about some 24 days in queue without any real rains.) 

; Here places – generally a relative close for the coastals – I recall that during the same time it been a few days w. the smaller nightly showers. And, as I also recall, after mid-Summers and it's bonfires here at least was some few 'monsoonic days' – Accomp. by those now often seen, sort for 'thundering rains'.

Yet, by anycase, thenafter it's now been, here too, at least for some 3 weeks from this almost complete dry-up. (...I devote so much place on these remark, as it was a rather unusual in former times, at June, from the some such heats. If not, indeed, we could think those somewhat unforeseen heats.)

Also; One notices the temperatures been from exceptionally high, several days w. over the 30 degrees in Celsius. Some days, like yesterday, we watched the thermometer near rise to the 32 (degrees). Which might've represented not for smght 'unforeseen', by itself, on this time of year (ie, the turn from June to July) – But, again, was not like anything too similar as any general averages, even not like it was on a few latest prior years.

 

 [Photo] ; ...Another picture from those Hollyhocks. ...In fact I was having quite a wait for those - the thin soils and direct shine, heats nearby the garden edge aren't probably best ideal places for the Alcea. (...One time I noticed some of the flower buds had dried off, or perhaps frozen by during a colder night, so I increased it's watering, thenafter...) 

; Luckily, the fewsome from the 3-5 I'd planted then succeeded, on those places.

 

...Then, on the other hand, the heats itself felt not so high in from their described continuence - While of course from the very unpleasant, I must admit - It's more about this continued “drought” that I find to rather more alarming... (In a sense that it seems all the much for 'fullfilling' most about those former often made predictions and expectations. All that 'bout from the present climatic change 'accelerated', perhaps. Much what from previous been said for the global warming's advance.)

-----------

“The future is already here – it's just not very evenly distributed.” (William Gibson)

 

All in all, in the briefest, pretty much just the sort conditions – those we've lately been experiencing, both Spring and Summer - seem for tell of the enstrenghtened climatic stress.

[Photo], beside - Some Rhododendrons, in flower by the middle of June. (Visited a one particular nice 'spot' where them grow by the plenty. When I was on those bikings of mine, this Summer. 

But more on these impressions...a bit after. If from first to some latest read newssings. ; We're then fx now noticing that these said (very) constant heated periods, or somewhat more 'exceptional' heats actually were quite much suffered on elsewhere too. By the, 'lately', I mean. (Take that from as very..'broad' as the expression. Sort of, from the very briefly noted. Sort like the sound of a clock ticking. Or, to something like...)

; So, as we read fx from this , there was also, fx, some very 'exceptional' heat-wave, on the N.American West-/Pacific 'coastal' areas.)

Yet, still perhaps to a quite bit more surprising for us – Acc to this, ('What is causing the floods in Europe?') in the more central of Europes Weathers by this Summer weren't being found only w. near so constant a dry period from. It speaks more like, of the floods (?).

(But...as I'm not a keen follower from the other regions, or countries – And also not finding ourselves for too much a chance to say anything 'bout these for their timing either. ; Or, I even find it quite impractical – at this – to have any estimate for how the now present Summer heats here could've from differed from the ones felt in the middle Europes. ; Yet, fx from casually followed the Summer forecasts in the Paris, the weathers there seemed by the most Summer-weeks of more occasioned, but still from much more rainier number by days, indeed. Basis what the little, I had the time, or when I happened even pay any attentions.)

(...So, it maybe becomes obvious that, by now, I've not anyhow very specifically read to any these articles/combined 'reportages' from. At least not for any very detailed from...)

Well, whatever, however 'bout the most of the weathers elsewhere places...Indeed can't at this much dwell on any of these 'forecasts', and reports, etc – actually not anything cons it. (You're maybe permitted to understand.) -------------

Soforth, what (any-)one perhaps thinks good for keep in mind, and for some certainty could well pay some more interests too. (As it's quite unpleasant finding) – Is that it now seems found as some fact that the constant warming up of the climates also seem predicted, very possibly, evermore start affecting the many fresh water ecosystems.

...In some cases, prob., there's an argument that them to more sooner, more devastingly, would be expected become under more intense climatic stress than the case from comparable Sea-ecosystems, fx. (As, obviously, the latter usually are far more larger.)

; So, about fresh water lakes in the world, various areas – read (fx) this.

(Or, if not by any time for that...) – I selected these brief excerts, for examples, on below:

“[...] Lake heatwaves - when surface water temperatures rise above their average for longer than five days – are a relative new phenomenom. But by the end of this century, heatwaves could last between three and 12 times longer and become 0.3 to 1.7 C hotter. In some places, particularly near the equator, lakes may enter a permanent heatwave state. Smaller lakes may shrink or disappear entirely, along with the wildlife they contain, while deeper lakes will face less intense but longer heatwaves. [In a...] new study researchers examined 393 lakes worldwide between 1981 and 2017 and found their temperatures rose by 0.39 C every decade, while dissolved oxygen fell by 5 per cent at the surface and 19 per cent in depths. It's in these cooler, deeper parts of lakes where trout, burbot and and salmon usually thrive thanks to sufficient oxygen, especially in the summer. Largely due to warming air temperatures, 68 per cent of the lakes in the study had lost this important niche to rising temperatures and falling oxygen levels.” ;

And, also (ao,) on that;

”Heatwaves are increasing the frequency of harmful algal blooms and causing mass mortality events where thousands of animals die in a few days. Algal blooms block out the light and suffocate the fish, either by crashing oxygen levels or clogging up their gills. A 100 metre-wide, 15cm-deep algal bloom in Loch Leven in Scotland 1992 killed 1,000 brown trout over the 24 hours.”

; ...While that perhaps makes one wonder, whether the other released water-pollution might been affecting in the remarked 'case example' – Since on just the sort effects of the various chemical release, fertilizing nutrients (, nitrogen in particular, from the human agri, via fields), plus maybe other 'factors' might've also been involved at the said fisheries death. - Yes, while it possible at least imagine that more strict standards and control of the sort pollutants may have had positive effect ever since...One couldn't very easy rule out the temperatures increase, also, having from to do some lot w. the declines in freshwater 'fisheries'.

Made me also, for remembering 'bout that one quite concise remark here we recent cited. – The one remarking 'bout how there's the vast amount inequality in this present seen, ongoin' 'Climatic shift'. (; On a recent, that Wallace-Wells, in a 2020-book, from which we quite 'plentysome' quoted on that previous post.)

And one notices there's lot of the truth on that, just thinkin for rise by the temperatures, the consequent increases in resource-poor environments – particular in the 'equatorial region' – and then also more comprised water sources', the declined fresh waters in lakes, etc., etc...

...It also featured, in part that same comparison, words how (fx) Britain, the country w. the most continued use of the fossil energies and perhaps longest history of an industrialised past to this day, was said expected to appear among countries that expected to suffer various future climatic harms, 'from the least' – While at the number for those said equatorial regions, where many poorer countries, just the sort declines and ecologic 'set-backs' of the continued warming are expected by potentials to have drastic effects. Major potential cause of the poorer harvests, for the decline in available fisheries – Or at least cause of the sort potential declines affecting the species from fished, as the many fresh water lakes are also expected/seen to lose in their numbers and extent.

; ...But indeed, also acc. those cite(s) one might come also to think that in here more Northern 'ranges', or in areas so famous of it's (very) deep 'crevicious' deep water-lakes, such as Scotland, their future ain't so much secure. Or at least by every likehood the noted changes in temperatures well can have the effect on many fish species. (As that seemed, ao, to say that esp. species like the 'trout, burbot, and salmon' , typically inhabiting just the sort 'dephtitudes' that now are prospected become from the continued warming potentially more enthreatened.) 

 

; Whatever the 'timescale', by these things then...seems it anyway that acc those estimates, the seeks and dives could, say, from where is the "Nessie's Nest". - Then those might even there in some time turn for some seeks of just the said most typical fished specimens. (The 'trout, burbot, salmon'. But I remark that, potentially, along w. the warming the mentioned 'co-consequences', very probably may affect – just as much. The water quality much often also result from typical 'pile up' by the various 'stresses'. And people, similarly often, tend not pay some real concern, before the signs from an obvious harm done becomes recognizable. Such as in form from the described – algae-layers 'blocking the surface light', 'crashing' the oxygen levels...); Yet, they seem now much predict those more 'dire' conditions to increase - due of the seen warming so rapid.

; And indeed – very much of the inequality, built on just for these sort things, climate inequality that so often talked about. All much from that what now evermore gotten recognized in the present climatic disaster seen... ------------

...By that one notice, one then quite easily also comes to think this might sound (for some, maybe), as the relative 'strict' words. As them happen/seem to discussed 'bout that Climatic Crime – meaning it's 'hideouts' and 'cover-ups', all 'bout what having become known from these histories by fossil fuels uses - what having now potentially gotten realized in the present ecologic harms – as the resultant from prior decades seen continued fossil pollution. (And which then has been, was seen to decades 'further more' - of to still continued), etc... ; While the consequences, to Global Climates, already were for known since from past several decades, or – View also, fx, more on that of the few passages quoted to our 'left-margin'. The few paragraphs cited from the (2007?, was it...) book by McKibben. Ie, on those under  the 'MSW-quotates'... – Indeed the 'projected' warm-up and the 'aftermath' already were known for since from 1970s, by the majorest polluters, the fossil fuel production companies.

For, after our brief consideration, thinkin' the whole issue would demand much more space, and bit more of time. (...if we'd to focus on that, at this, here.)  However, by this day there's of course numbers of books devoted on it. Amongst, that one by Nathaniel Rich, some that I most recent read. And others from...

Indeed, one would've think that it would be for all the best if some responsibles were to be found...from beyond this 'murky path'. Some behind all the present climate problem(s). In that sense that what said on the previous linked (page), doesn't actually sound, at all, to so stingy, or for too pointed words. 

 

After all, it all indeed, represents – Some disaster in magnitude. Often is noted to the majorest ecological disaster, some by the unforeseen magnitude in all from a human history.

(To put that in, by a few words. Notice also that said being, really, to quite much said. Quite vast issue, indeed. Not smthg like the 'few bucks' that'd been, fx, stolen of the offices common 'box', some established for to cover the personnel's coffee breaks expenses...)

[Pic; On the above paragraph] - From Modesty, the original 1963-story, 'La Machine'. (drawn by Haldaway. ; I think, on that she must be drinkin'...the expresso?)

 

["late" addit... :] - Although...it possibly seems relevant if we also mention, alongside preceded – of this.

(Then, from around the same weeks, there was as well some publicity on a  followed 'announcing', IEA-report (in newsed from). ; ...The actual 'positive result', consequent actions from it – remain to being seen – But the said 'Agency', fx, seems for predicted, that: '...global oil demand will decline from the 90m barrels a day at present to about 24m barrels a day by 2050.' - In late...but at least (it) not completely for the unrealizable a scenario, basis by some parts seen at the recent-present 'trend'.)

------------

...Yet, at these writes from, it might probably serve purpose – just as well as this again expanding to ever lenghtier stories - if I here just make a reminder 'bout my former words how I've personally nowadays felt ever happier, ever more free from that 'burden' – Ever since I practically lessened my any uses of the car for the 'barest' minimum. Chose rather for the various other ways on my movement, etc. 

[Pic] ; From the Vampirella-story (mag 35/-74). - From it's name: 'The Blood Gulper' (,by Jose Ortix, Flaxman Loew)

 

...And to tell you the plainest truth: Despite there's now so much talked 'bout that ongoin'/ always in the nearest sight seen 'shift' for electric driving 'economy',at the people's 'personal vehicles' and transports, (etc.) - I don't feel too assurance it would much 'save the day', anymore. Of course, it's probably very meaningful...But not that meaningful in the last instance. Rather make your personal choices (, my good advice.) ; I mean...it's meaningful indeed – but I wouldn't trust to so much in any businesses that constant, years long, forgeried it's data from the ever-newer gasoline-fuelled vehicles 'for the market'. (I don't bother to refer for the links and recent newssings 'bout those stories, here anymore.)

So, further only to saying that w. some 'gloomy smile' now awaitin' if the benzine-prices would see their further rise, and, if the 'common peoples' then were seen to rush for the sales about newer, more eco-friently EV's and similars – In other words – how willing them are found from to start paying, now, for the someone else's past sins. 

(...esp. when/if those 'past mistakes' wouldn't never appear to see any proper...Convictions from? Or use 'bout that whatever term you might prefer...) 

 

; Not very sarcastic about - Only that I'm not actually very 'enthusiasted' lookin' for the 'brand new age' of those EV's. Neither not from sayin it wouldn't appear - quite - meaningful. 

...Only due because that's being about some 30 years late in time... - Think I'd rather order - none. Not even w. any need for. 

 

Second thought...(Perhaps) I'll have one when their allotting those for everybody under the certain yearly income levels. (, "In the name of a climatic justice") - Ever considered 'bout some 'EB' ? (an Electric Bike, a bike with the rechargeable battery. Can be used as the regular bike, quite as well.)

“...more than 80 percent of climate finance supplied to the developing countries comprises loans. The proportion of climate funding given as grants has been falling – between 2013 and 2018, for example, it dropped from 27 percent to 20 percent. The trend towards loans is problematic, both because loans need to be repaid, with interest, and because they tend to be provided for projects that can demonstrate a return on the investment, ...more ambitious targets to reduce emissions, and ensure that the poorest countries, ...receive support as they develop their economies in a more sustainable manner ...” (; on Nature)

'Grand...Bam.' ; ...However, now we might find it well a time from to continue this w. what being the originally meant as some 'main section' – Ie, in following the content being about the garden plants-recent 'weathers'-and insects. Or at least about from that mostly. 

On this section...then, hopefully, we get to those plants plants without too many other 'extras', anymore.

 

[Photo] ; ...A bumble - on a Tagetes-flower. The following shall then have the flower-'examples' (and bumbles on 'em) as accomp. decorations. Not too plentysome, many though - As I've in the former posts presented many from these plants, on a little below listed.

 

; As my former idea here, on this 'part', was to gather together, in the first place, some examples of my various plants that were in flowering by the early June – I must then shortly notice that anything to that didn't turn out possible quite so easily realised. 

 

; For...much of the days I was, felt rather exhausted by these heats – and then I was also noticing it from considerably less inspiring to me take on these writes while it was most part keepin' such heated season. (For days, weeks. Also, there was the fact that garden now since after that Mid-Summer has needed the more constant watering – more than usual, and just because of our exceptional heats – indeed the much lot more watering than on 'average' summers.)

Despite that – heats – I'm actually thinkin' of managed take care of that watering relative 'sparingly'. Of course, I was already obliged shift to use the 'pipeline-waters', by about, a week after from the Mid-Summer. (And, due because I was to some week/half weeks staying elsewhere, it obliged me then, of course, to water gardens in more amounts on any few occasions by my each return.)

; ...But, as I'm now finding, having still only had the necessity by 'irrigating' the garden lawns and benches only a few times. Maybe 2-3 times per either Month. Even though I've been obliged from water those benches w. the several watering cans, almost daily – maybe, generally w. as much as some 3-6 bucketfuls per time – I think from had managed w. relative modest amounts in that. Considering that there not been any (actual, any good) rains in about now ca 3 weeks, or at least for a Month. And even before that Mid-Summer period, there were drier weeks most part that June. 

 

So, I guess I've made pretty well w. the amount watering I've maintained. (Since from the several years w. this 'hobby' of mine, there's pretty many garden plants by now. And hence there also is the necessity of their watering, at least by 'regularly'.)

I mean...at least it feels like some good finding one doesn't, if not wished, won't have to be to too very wasteful in that water-use (Even if the season turned out like this present seen.)

[Photo] ; ...Another 'look' on those Tagetes, grown by this year. (The flowers are yellowish - And, I think, actually not quite so decorative than on some I by earlier years cultivated.) ; ...from having noticed how dry it been, I actually decided to plant fewsome from those on ground instead. They don't demand so much watering in pots, either - But there seemed appear some risk of their too complete drying-up, during from when me being away (for some days, a week in the early season). 

 

Some for my perennials, in fact the several, are now quite large too – or, quite the same about the seasonals too. (Expectably most of them grew quite 'rapid' during us experiencing these 'heat weeks') ; Of course, I've then also partly having created that by devoting from pretty much care on many from those... (Fx, with the more of needs in that watering - as we were lacking any of from the skies to pour. And, probably without this extra watering, otherways, some these wouldn't still appear grown near that large as them now are.)

...And for some, actually, the constant watering seems appeared some necessity – also for their good flowering considered. ; For examples, that above mentioned/depicted Oenothera Biennals (Primroses) seemed to need some amounts - almost daily watering, if one wanted them to continue well in flowers past the nights. Or by any constantly flowering, as them open the blooms by evening. (And I recognized that if one kept watering them by the evenings, the more of blooming those 'spikes' provided.) ; But like noted already, those flowers then (indeed) turned appear for so very...impressive.

By now, I've also noticed from seen quite various insects visit those, in addit for the moths (Of whom I already remarked about). A funny thing was for, by the recent, of watching one bee – of those most common species from, that Bombus hypnorum – to appear harvest those blooms very devotedly. In fact it seemed very 'active' in for the task, kept stayin' on flowers from half-a-minute per each. Or at least on some. (Most part bees tend from to harvest any flowers only for few seconds. By average, don't know how about by any 'stats'. Those would appear rather difficult for gathered, anycase.)

 

; ...Although, at least from during the day-time, as I've most part paid any attentions from - That noted variety on Primroses not from quite that plentyful as on some other flowering plants at garden. (Possibly, the bees fx don't so much visit when the flowers 'bath' in full sunlight. Of course, only by mornings the flowers still are there.) – But for the previous said 'episode', then it was the cloudier day – for change. ----------

(Some time ago,) ...I then was also fx from reading, w. some intense interest, about that there the various efforted systems in the water-collecting. As one would guess, esp., in the places where people already having developed water-collecting systmes, to some time (, due there many regions where the heats appear gotten more constant, usual. Or by any 'averages', since long tend represented a more common phenomena than here.) ...So, various systems in collecting seem been noted as the necessity developed and/or needed gotten for 're-invented'. Such as here from N.Americas, of what I read some few brief stories on the Guardian's pages; on, about, w. pics...etc. 

; Naturally, I'd also by now found that had I decided have a some plentier number from cultivables and/or fruits – instead from the flowers, mostly – my daily watering need would've now proved been the far more heavier tasks. ; ...For, such as it seems now, maybe surprisingly, my few Squashes seem ('most, among my garden plant) now quite 'suffered' of that constant lack of the good, effective rains.

(For the herbs and to my few 'irregulars', ie salads and of others that 'sort', not near so much waters was being needed.) ; But, I'd to think the aspect on those Squashes also might be, partly, from that I'm not really having too good open shiny places to their growin'. Or so it at least seems – as one reason those to fail, must've been the imbalance in between those large perennials having enshaded the place in early growth. Or, by both reason – Actually past years I've often noted the Squashes really start to grow their fruits better, when after there was the plentier rains. And, when it having warmed up enough.

; One also comes then to think from these observations – though I've said that before – how ineffective (indeed) often appears any human (artificial) watering. Plants often do, in essence, more better w. somewhat less of the waters...But, only up to a certain point.

In any grown 'cultivables' that said limit only appears be far more closer. Or about like. 

 

Of course, in many places where there more constant watering needed, since from 'long term', it has been found to a some practical necessity – Just due because these kind heats tend, many places, last for longer. So it tends put much more demand for that agricultural production methods. And some artificial watering more standard unavoidably becomes necessity. 

(...I don't mean those often talked wasteful and 'over-expanded' sectors in our current foods production. (Often noted for their water-wasteful 'footprint', water uses.) I mean; in the 'regular production', from how the vegetables, tubers, other stables, etc, formerly used from be grown – and still are by some farmers. The 'small scale'. How the whole – or for it's most parts – the food production actually should still exist. How it would appear to be in the best circumstances. Somewhat closer for...any 'traditional methods' from. In about some century previously, at least hereby. Or, for the some 50 years ago – Around by when there still actually wasn't any needs for the word 'organic' – As the “anti-organic” wasn't as yet very advanced. When the chemial fertlizers, and a complete 'machination' in production still hadn't from become to that 'overwhelming'.

(That, above, in the very briefest described from, of course...) ; ...For a few other 'good reasons' from – at least have a look about, fx, on this (,ao; 'finance worth 2.6bn pumped into meat and dairy industries...').

 

Anyway, even w. these gardening 'tasks' practiced, some by my own needs only – I've also come to notice that any this sort 'drought' – say, even if having lasted by around only the 3 weeks – It seems made also that garden plants care of much, considerably, to more problematic as any task. ---------

; ...But the story of it, this case perhaps bit sadder - the specimen had lost it's other wing. Or, some of those, since I watched it's 'troubled' movements on midst the garden lawnyard - then actually 'lifted' the one on this leaf, to take it's picture. Difficult to say of how the 'trouble' had for originated; Maybe the bird had, of some reason, bit that off. Or some other 'predative'. Maybe that was defect it had had from birth (perhaps unlike, since it had survived to this large.) And, I also wondered from whether it had burnt that on a greenhouse panels, in full sunlight. Bumbles, when flyin' against those, seem take some time seekin' their way out - Although, practically in no exceptions, of what I've watched, them seem to 'learn' by experiment their way out there. (I mean, I ever notice finding very few dead specimen from inside it. Generally they're also pretty 'tough', apparently can suffer several times flyin' against the transparent windows, and with no harm done.)  

...Whatever the cause, it was then somewhat uplifting also from notice it by the inborn instinct to continue it's efforts on flowers that grew midst that lawn. (Clover, Self heal, ao.) Obviously a bee without wing likely not lives very long - but I was finding it there still on the next day. If recall that, some days around June, on the very next one too. Sturdy little one. (One of course learns of the bumbles - such as,fx, acc books by Goulson - that often their colonies fail, by various reasons. the Grand Nature being an open 'route' w. many unforeseen 'caveats'.) ; Yet, let me say, this one felt, somehow...like I'd been watching something more 'grand' than just a one 'episode' in the evolutionary competition...  - an Interesting 'addition' (22.4.2022): Only more later I've learned (from Goulson's books) that the deformed wing 'disease', (in bees) is commonly traced for originating to their weakened immune-system, due because of the exposure to pesticides (,used on fields.) ; ...And/with other chemicals that can lead for such genetic deformations in bees.

But, In the followed, then, finally these selections 'compacted' of what (,for the 'most part) I had by formerly observed of my early Season plants– and already prior weeks that was written by. ...I'd had that for ready, from about, by some 3 weeks before. Sooo....why not, here, any earlier. That so, because it was being well time preceding this now ongoin' continued heated period. And all of this then got somewhat delayed...due for these few above mentioned reasons.

[...that earlier wrote 'section'] ;  Indeed, on cons the several plants at below mentioned, there maybe is some which were already noted already in most recent post – ie, were earlier to flowers, ca on around May. Doesn't matter - As them mostly some which for usual also have well-longer bloomings time. By weeks, some perhaps lasting Month, or 1.5 even. (...Such as is the case about that Bird's feet Trefoil – From that thought in mind, I actually cut the most their growths down this timing, w. the idea to that permitting more sunshine for the bit lately growers. - Added, by later: ...Well, that didn't work quite so favorably actually. The Bird's feet trefoils obviously didn't much care to that, and some are in new flowers now. But, these felt long lasting heats actually made me wonder whether the plants slightly enshaded by those would've only benefited if having had little extra shading, when small. As the Trefoils are, actually quite small plants, in itself.)

 

[Photo, beside] ;  ...A bee on Alkanet. ; Of the bumble's species I'm not -
again, at this case - quite so certain about. But the pic gives the recollection that I was watching yet one recognizably rather large species at garden, in the weeks by early June. Then still wasn't so many other species of bee around, as yet. Or wasn't at that moment. ; So it's at least a good guess, if the specimen was - Bombus magnus. (Indeed a guess - the species is said only by recent identified from it's own. It being almost identical, and even by genetic 'evidence', to some others, but the 'comparison species' smaller ones.)

[Photo, below] ; ...And another photo of that large species. Seen again by this 'late season'. (Just during by the most recent few days,l ast week July) – or, saw 'fewsome' from, if those others I noted in same time, then perhaps did belong for that species, too. In short, assumed if the species indeed for an above described one, (B.magnus, 'Northern white-tailed Bumble-bee') - Those 'others', also above mentioned, looked somewhat resemblant – while still recognizably lot smaller. (Anyway, were large too, incompared to any 'regular' bumble-specimens.) 

; In theory...A queen from B.hortorum would appear be 'about' as large. It being also notable more commmon ; So, notice on what said at elseplaces this – of how there in resemblant smaller species - by some plenty. ; Yet...indeed, it looks to quite impressively sized for an Fennoscandian 'Bumble'. (In the Cuckoo-bumbles only, on here regions, there being some about similarly large ones, I think...can't exactly exclude that as a possiblity too. Their tentacles also look (slight) more resemblant for those carried by the one in the pic...?) 

; Whatever, almost like some flyin' Giant - when compared for most it's co-species, in  here temperate regions. Where the most insects, by any 'standard', or as the general 'rule', appear from level smaller than ones inhabiting warmer tropical areas.

 

Anyway – That 'List':

Garden Perennials :

 

Dame's Violets (Hesperis matronalis – already on 'waning' - But just as it the recollection of prior years, I think, them seemed still to keep a fewsome of their 'florettes' for until well to this middle Summers. At least...for this late.)

; Virginia raspberries (Rubus odoratus, by lat. - ...During the early summer, on any more heated days - I noticed smthg: Several, in the early season bumbles were found havin' relocated themselves, on harvesting those. While the plant itself is a relative popular source for many of those – I noted for another 'reason' for it, which seemed to equal sensible one: Most of our Rubus(es) grow on next by the other edge the house – And since the area these somewhat more shaded by few trees, (or, by a few copses also), ...the bumbles then only seemed to take benefit of the more 'tolerable' conditions. Ie, avoided the too overt direct 'scorching' sunlights.

Seems to pretty straighforward understandable way of behaviours, of course...

 

And then there were... (- not 'none', actually a good number early season flowerers.)

 

Such as: Columbines (,ie Aquilegias, A.Vulgaris)

; Then Germanium(s) – And I've a 'fewsome' only by species, most recognizably: .pratense (Meadow Cranesbill)

; And Alchemillas (.vulgaris, ; The garden ones happen to grow 'here and there', usually they're seen of to flower the whole from Summer, of 'constantly'...)

; Martegon Lily(/ies), and, the Tiger- (or) Brown Lilies – Not to quite sure on latter ones, from which those actually are...

Furthermore...Or, for some that (were, by that time, around late from June) just on their 'beginnings':

Tagetes (Such as I've said before, by this y. too I was growin several in pots...)

; Squash (C.pepo...'Though it of course not a perennial, one planted on a garden greenhouse seemed in during my brief 'leave' developed most favorably. The ones planted outside not so much – as yet. It was perhaps still being bit cold for, on an early Month, I guess.) Yet, feels it probably having to wait for harvests well 'till the Autumn, or from 'supposin now so...

; Oenothera biennis (ie, in those pics presented Common Evening Primroses) – Those indeed grow for quite so large, even to 80 cm to 1 meter tall. ...Or even more, I'm now noticing...)

; Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) – Finally, I'm hoping (!) to see those florescence, several spikes now for emergin'. (Which indeed proved right - on the pic, above section...) ; And, Arnica (A.montanum)

...Guess'll we have to count on the 'perennials' also these following:

Borage (of the boraginaceae) ; Alkanet (Anchusa officinalis – few observances on the above pic, text also. At begins this listing from flowered plants in the garden)  ----------

Native plants: 

 (...And/ or/ from some of these – being 'herbs'.In the broadest sense. 'Natural herbs'? ) :

(Photo, beside) ; ...Blooms, the flowering "heads" from my some Valeriana's (.officinalis) - last y. planted on garden. ; ...I've yet to 'confirm' what the bumble-species at pic. but a good guess (I guess) would be the B.sporadicus. ...There seems said the species is to quite common, 'allthrough' the country, and the colonies of it quite large, 'long-lasting'.  ; ...But appears it then, apparently, perhaps bit surprisingly, also said to less common on the areas from Southern part country. - So, guess'll finding myself rather satisfied of having planted my Valeriana's at garden. Seen several other insects visit that, too.

(Whether that then the said species - oftenmost the more of a difficulty for to 'settle', cons these bees... :)

Bird's foot Trefoil (C.corniculatus)

; Yellow Sweet Clover Melilotus officinalis - ...Indeed most those, last year planted, seem of grown for 'huge' – All relocated now at garden have spikes that 'float' on ca the over 1.5 meters in air. ; Of that reason – them to grow so big - I was quickly weeding off several many now for found germinated on the my greenhouse bench. But I left a fewsome at grow nearby the Squash – thinkin' if the growth actually supports that. (Now wondering whether that actually was any right 'decision'...:)

; Sedum acre (ie, Biting Stonecrop) – Now flowers regularly by the rather early of June. The several native insects seem of visit (See the pic...was that on prev post, 'suppose.)

; Oxeye (Leucanthemum vulgare) - they've spread to around variable spots on garden, also...

; Thymuses – incl. the Breckland thyme (though, it maybe not quite yet was at flowers...)

; Self heal (P.vulgaris) – 'midst' the lawn (on many spots.)

; Valeriana's (.officinalis. Of the genus caprifoliceae). ...I'm now having some 5-6 specim – Their actually now from most part located on one enguarded (a 'hedged') corner from garden. Just due because I felt forewarned for need prevent those spreading their 'surface-runners' a too effectively. (Them too grow at fertile garden soils to really large. The highest maybe now , about, 2 meters tall already...) - Variety of insects visiting those too. (Not excluding a several from bumbles, I've noted...)

; St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) – Actually my few plants from these seem suffer somewhat being shaded by larger perennials that growin' in front them. (Ie, mostly that meaning the Bee balms, monardas) – Yet, despite anything, the St John's Worts tend achieve flowering time well easily as it such warm season. (And indeed they did. Also, them keep flowerin for at least several weeks on.)

 

(Photo, beside) ; ...Not for my any garden plants, but actually seen/photo from  the biking trip I also made, during by that June. Growin on a more 'secluded' country-side, not very far from one national park, were these Antannaria dioica ie from the common name, Catsfoot. ; ...The plant is not too rare - But it's actually said from declined in during the latest times. (Or from since the 2000s, about.) For one reason seems assumed the Climate Change - But if one is to conclude anything 'bout the soil I noted it did grow by - a typical sandy, 'thinly' fertile spot, warmer 'uphill' - guessin' the releases by the cars, that constant nutrient 'overload', increases, might appear represented just as likely reason to that. Perhaps. ; So - there'd then would be more advantages in the 'planned' change for the EV's in transportation. (While those not too much ever mentioned) - The roadside pollution too, would significantly decline. 

(The roadkills, unfortunately not. ...And while most people not much  think for the insects in related for that - not also appears seen as any serious reason on an insect mortality, or their declines - Actually sometimes on a roadside, on some sunny summer day, one can see amounts of the overdriven. ...Butterflies, beetles, and/or others.) - Not sayin' that I'd ever to so much think about that whenever I'm drivin (the car). Meaning that, probably, it counts too...In fact, it being just a part of the typical human neglect. Neglect from the other species

 

...And then at the 'dry meadow' – on my (very) small spot, such as said was – the numbers from, as usual: Those contained, at least: the Maiden Pinks (ie D.deltoides) ; Veronica officinalis(es) – ie, the 'Heath Speedwell' ; Strawberries (,of course also were in berries, until by the Mid-Summer time.) ; Tufted vetches (on a few places, not arrived by my any sowing) ; and, then, Trifolium repens – 'all around' the lawnyards - the bumbles and bees very much seem enjoyed those too... ; Of the other sowed clovers, by this year, the Red Clover weren't (by that timing...) – Yet one sees elseplaces the former grown specimens...many in flower. (by this late, July most my own too having flowered of course.)

Finally for a mention ; The Field Scabious(es, Knautia arvensis) – I especially now notice those being favored by several to less usual seen bumbles (species.) ; Yet another intressant Point-of-view is, that despite I've had these Field Scabiouses growin' in my meadow now for several years...They've not practically much increased by the seeds. (At the garden.)

 Makes one reason that perhaps the ground just isn't too ideal for em. Or other circumstances having relevance for that. I've brought a few specimen – And I think them seem grow bit larger, each year – but not new additions. Well, maybe there will emerge some. Now it at least feels like, possibly, could be the favorable year (From the weathers concerning...)

 

[Photo] ; ...Here now, then on adjacent (above/below) described Field Scabious (Succisa Pratensis) flower – w. an 'unidentified' bumble-bee on it. ; For – most apparently, it from being a bumble-bee – not fx some from the bumbles-imitating beetles. (Such as species like Trichus fasciatus, the Eurasian Bee-beetle). 

; My first guess – as I now recall having observed some flyin' in the garden around the early-/mid-Summer weeks – that the one at pic by species would've appeared, B.schrecki. (...Ie; Interesting about those, such as I former at some post also wrote, is that .schrecki seemssaid only spread at here ranges by postafter the 2000s. From it's former habitat, limited on to the Euraasian and Siberian geographical ranges.) ...The 'assumption' seems of gain some 'credence' also via noting the species as well described for visit, among fx the clovers, also: the Field scabious.) 

- But, after more consideration - So are also many others. And, therefore - let's not make any very hasty decision 'bout it's identification. ; Actually...maybe it more likely a representive from the Bombus Sylvarum. - Anycase, if so, then the said from some origins in the 'eastern range' would still appear do – That species seems similarly having spread to here parts Fennoscandia, from the SE ranges - after the 1930s, only. 'Till by 1970s, it then seems said of become, here too, of 'relative' common. (It's populations are also described from show much variance, btw the different years.) - But in short; tells plenty of that climatic 'shift'. Perhaps also can be seen as certain 'evidence' for cons it's rapidity.

 

 [Photo] ; ...Almost the sole reason for an adjacent (pic), that there's one specimen - I suppose, of B.ruderarius. It said sort 'common, but uncommon' - and so I've noted, there's usually only fewsome by any day seen. Or of that much, any time I've happened spend some time there. (Also, see what noted on that at the very subseq. photo/pic...)  ; Then is fx little resemblant B.lapidarius, said being the one for commonest species hereby. But so much as I've noticed at former years, they only start appear by this time of season, middle July onwards... ; (B.pratorum also, think for seen much less often than at prev years. But it might also be, that I maybe wasn't around by their main flight period. The numbers to various bumbles coming for garden, or in more generally too, only really increase around by this time here. Ie, maybe, about from the 2nd week July.) ; Beetle in pic is probably, Green Rose Chafer.

 

;  [Photo, beside right] ...As some comparison, here's then yet additional example; Namely, of the Echinaceae (flower) – those now, just recent, closer for ends by the July having emerged – and on it a specimen of that B.lapidarius. Like was said, they're one for the commonest species, if not said from most common at 'meadows' here (,et similar environments) – but this year I notice of seen rather fewsome in garden. ; Feels it a bit  from - 'cause, as we now noticed, there wasn't any scarcity for bumbles overall. (Only the certain species, which one thinks to see just of some specim only, or not for at all...)

 

Obviously, in the 'meadow' the flowering of plants actually goes in an even faster than of the perennial plants – So it maybe was due that (that) during by my stays at 'elseplaces' (early June), some number others too had from flowered. No matter – I was happily noticing that after several more 'wetty' Summers the spot seems now 'retained' it's some former scarce plants. (Them maybe were little 'offset' during those few previous rainier years...) ; However - I can't now recall the names from all those. At least amongst was the Red campions/Red Catchfly('s?) - ie, Silene dioica – which were flowering from the late of May. Their 'sister species', White Campions, maybe by somewhat later – ie, during my that stay away, 'suppose. And maybe fewsome others.

; From the 'hays', some number too, I'd suppose. Only I've not paid so much any attentions on. 

 

[Photo] ; Another specimen of that Bombus ruderius, most apparently. ('Red-shanked bee', by it's common name.) - Or, to be cautious (again) – So I'd at least think. At this case though', a precise identification shouldn't prove for be so troublesome: Of the species having the habitats on here ranges, regions from, only the B.lapidarius is said from reflect similarly complete black at it's frontside. (All the others tend show some colorations in the front/face-side, most usually that is of the yellowy or whitish stripings.) ; From their differences, the .ruderius should also be identifiable from that 'glint shield', or the recognizable shiny hairless area on it's backside.

; ...The other reason for pic's inclusion on this post, however, being the plant. - Such as on few occasions before wasmentioned that is Pycnanthemum tenuifolium (that, 'Virginia Thyme', or, N.A. Narrowleaf mountainmint) – it seems always attract numbers bees when blooming. (Here from relative late, at this year even, only from the 3^rd week July.) ; From that part – I counted on one occasional morning some 20-30 bees (ie mostly bumbles) at singular flower - or, precisely on one plant – almost similarly, from as many as seen during their more continuous attraction, 'piling up' at that Greater Knapweed. ; The reason for a selected pic still due from at the bumbles' (outer) characteristics, looks from – it was also somewhat happy finding that a bit less 'usual' bumbles visit that plant too, in addit for several always always populous yellow-striped species... But so I've noted, actually, in case examples bysome other imported flowers (More on that, few examples more of the garden, shortly below/after this main 'section'.)

---------------

[Photo] ; ...A more random 'exception' in the garden - Spear Thistle (C.vulgare), whose seeds I distantly now recall from had dropped, last year, at this most shady 'corner' in the garden. To my surprises that quite effortlessly grew, even there... (The withering, 'whitened' leaves aren't due by any others reason but from because of the garden bench fertlizers. Apparently. As the natural plants usually tolerate much less for that.) 

 

From 'additionally', here then still is a one 'surplus' link. - Some recent viewed pages, not very thorough read that - but I feel it well intressant, interesting enough to at least referred from here.

...Or, not necessary due of any other reasons but seems there explained from some findings for 'bout how it (nowadays) seem assumed 'bout the human evolution – And what it (might) have for to do w. the thirst. Or still for more precise, how we (maybe) happened from develop our sweat glands.

Sort of, from the “pros and cons” in that process. As the one 'evolutionary step', taken in those distant pasts.

; I've not, though, elsewhere much come to read much anything relating on that. (Another good reason it from feat here...)

A bit lenghtier read...But well worth, if you bother. ; And at least well in it's places here. As these, now continuing, days were - by foremost – to the very 'swetty' days indeed.

From "broadly" said.. By some impression. Of their heats - In any compare. By any experience, of the recent pasts, the last century.   ----------- 

 

"Where we are today: ... Earth is now as warm as it was before the last ice age, 115,000 years ago, when the seas were more than twenty feet higher. In 1990, humankind emitted more than 20 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide. In 2018, we were projected to have produced 37.1 billion metric tons - a record. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, the world's fastest-growing energy source has been coal. ....

  Our understanding of the problem hasn't changed substantially during this time. Ken Caldeira, at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford, has a habit of asking new graduate students to name the largest fundamental breakthough in climate physics since 1979. It's a trick question. There has been no breakthrough. As with any mature scientific discipline, there is only refinement. The computer models grow more precise; the regional analyses sharpen... ...Caldera's own research has shown that the world is warming more quickly than most climate models have predicted. He found that the toughest emissions reductions so far proposed will probably fail to achieve 'any given global temperature stabilization target.'
  The political story hasn't changed greatly either, except in its particulars. ..."  

; "...The last time the world was 3 degrees warmer was during the Pliocene, three million years ago, when beech trees grew in Antarctica, the seas were eighty feet higher, and wild horses galloped across the Canadian coast of the Arctic Ocean." ; (Rich) - Losing Earth: The decade we could have stopped Climate Change. (; p. 180-1. ; 37.)     ----------------

 

The 'Ecom-Recoms' (section)

 [Photo] ; Sunflower, w. several bumbles' - They're from some those typical and 'commonest' w. the yellow-striping to main colouration - and one often thinks difficult tell for what the species particularly. (B.lucorum,.hortorum, .sporadicus,.soroeensis,.magnus - those for most relevant 'guesses', apparently.) ; Actually the several of those (probably) flyin' in so constant simultaneous, that it gets even trickier...supposin. (Or, that said, I've not even too much tried for.) On the Greater Knapweed - that photo at begins - I counted on some 20 specimen, or more, that one morning. The vast proportion, or almost all were apparently from one or two from the above mentioned.

(From an interesting notice, I've this year more rare seen any wasps there. The honey bees seemed appear by some numbers from early of June - but they're also scarcer by this timing on Summer.) ; ...That Sunflower only just started flowering. Decided to plant  variety also these Red ones. As they're promised grow very tall, over two meters, others not just yet do. (Not all the 'regular' Yellow ones flower either, as yet. Some on the best places, and soils, havin' already flowered to more weeks.)

 

; Funny thing, maybe, that I originally planned these featured few eco-prods and good...'ideas', some palatables, some just as some 'stuffs', to having been the main contents for this post. With a fewsome other notings. And the latter said to some notings only.

But this thenafter, like said on above earlier, took some more time - as the Summer 'moved on' - flowers grew, I had to be elsew. - And I was then collecting too othersort issues to this. (On what above, by any few words.)

 

[Photo, above,left] ; On (our) 'Series - Street art'. - Violinists. Painting seen on a Finnish town Lahti. (...Gives us the some pretext here explain why this kind, lately invented 'serie' - Simply, becasue it's so much livelier than all from that now everywhere, anyplaces filling 'graphs and comps'-manipulated sort 'cheap' decorative...'advertise'.) ; There's indeed smght more intressant - as I find that - in this kind little pictures that seem to 'reflect' some physical 'presence', in their very existence. Not detesting the graffiti, either. Only that amongst there's too much that's only very poorly made.

 

But that shall now suffice - for the remainder was actually what was meant feat on the earlier Spring sections. (Was 'saved' to this late as I did find the other topics more inspiring to discuss, about....) And perhaps on these below examples I'll add from some more, on by any days from this later Summer...    

 

 Huskee-cup - on adjacent photo ; ...Adverted as manufactured from 'the milling stage of coffee production.' (...In practise seems mean it's made from the coffee-tree bark, otherways ending for the waste materials in production.) Very practical in use, as I've now by during some...1 or so years by from found. Well 'pocketable'. (...Unlike the numbers those 'carriable' re-usable mugs sold that only end up , always, be on harms when you needed carry a few bags, et some other stuff in your hands.) Found that to easy clean. Should be basically 'decompostable' material - 'though I'm not too sure that it would decompose any more effectively - ie, not very rapid - than fx the numbers for (claimed for so, so called) 'decomposing' "eco"-plastics... 

; But, even without any overpraises, or presently so fashionable 'stories' and 'strive' for the eco-prods that only appear wasteful, useless, impractical - In some time of use the Huskee-cup proved the claim 'bout for well-designed product. (Coffee itself not very ecologic product, nor too good as any 'habit' - the 'marihuanist'(s) ordinarily  remark that were it by now brought for the markets, would get banned as drug. But what can I do, as an inveterate caffeinist.) ; ...The cup is from relative expensive (, around 15 euros I think). But then from only needed bought once - Think I've saved myself (and the Natures) from some 200 plasticed single-use mugs not needed, by during only this time. ; So recommended.  ------

 

 (Stalk) Celery (Apium graveolans) ; ...Can't recall if I by former wrote some bits on celery. Anyway, every manner good addition in any personal diets. (With the precondition not having any allergies for it. At least not too...bad ones) ; Found out celery good for the stomach, ao. It's not so very nutritious - not as much as the Root-celery at least - but functions well accomp. some other 'additions' in the meal. 

Can be used in salads, chopped (as the raw). - Or, I often make a soup from. Not so much to add, so try that for change. (Might not be for everyone' taste, though. ; Well, who cares...) -------- 

Furthersome, from these ecom-recoms - 'thenafter', decided htat there being many good alternatives, nowadays, on what comes for the shampooing/washing soaps/dishes washing.

; Matter a fact – I nowadays only wonder why people even bother for buy these stuffs of the 'regular market'. (Instead than, for some example these by my own selections – And there's plenty available here too in the eco-shops, ...ao's.) - I do my these shoppings mostly w. the savings in mind – but then quite as much due because for the ecological reasons.

Soforth, in the briefest said; The products in the pic, left to right: Santee – A liquid shampoo, has been enconainted in (very lasting) a bottle. The compounds are largely (mostly) of the organic cultivated stuff. (Those ingredients contain, fx, the Gingko leaft extract and Olea europea - ie Olive fruit oils, ao.) ; Although you then apparently can't recycle the bottle, at least it's not available as option on here shops, by nowadays, the extra plastic wastes still decline to quite little. - As you only need buy more, say, from after every half year. Or even less often.

Then at center (on 'background'); 'Ole hyvä' – Products by the Finnish local manufacturer. There is usable ecologic choices in that "family",  from currently available, at least for the dishes washing, washing clothes, and – I only by recent discovered they too have, nowadays, also the shampoo. Sold in those 'regular' containers – But, they then also offer a possibility from refilling the bottles. Ie, you only buy the content at any later return(s), when in needs of more. - Which essentially, is a BIG benefit. 

And that plastic 'waste-load', that part, then is reduced to the practical minimum. ; All ingredients also are, directly from the natural sources. So it couldn't, even by nowadays, possibly get from the more eco-savy and sustainable. So, no wonder then that I've now to some time been favoring these...

Finally, on the right; the Nettles-shampoo, sold as a solid 'bulk'. Also by the local Finnish manufacturer ('Famo'). Such as I've formerly mentioned of that resemblant shampooing product (,by Lush) - These sort alternatives also save the Natures via removing any needs to manufactured (plastics-)containers. (As the soap/shampoo ain't in a liquid form...)

; Nettles also at least feels like sustained natural ecologic source, ingredient for. ...From the cocoa-oils part I'm not to quite that sure – But as this piece, fx, supposedly lasts for some time...., by anycase to (very) many washings from - Reasoning that it shouldn't appear amongst the causes of an exhaustive human uses from that natural 'source' from. ; The shampoo (Nettles, urticae) then is even for marketed to enhancin' the hair-growth...

And, there perhaps was the most for it. All pretty usable eco-prods.

 

[...in addit, for the above...] ; Now, for a few years I've used most these, in some 'altern turns'. Quite as noticeably - Neverafter, thenafter having felt for any need to returning to the regular market shelves. The most rewarding discovery – on anything from cons the washing needs – how easy it actually, is now to avoid the 'piling up' your personal plastics wasteload. How easy to stop supporting those environmentally disastrous industries, w. their enviromentally irresponsible behaviours – that plastics continued manufacture.

...'Cause no matter what the present, by nowadays, that marketed 'story-plot' on an increased recycling and re-using from those plastic 'bottlegas' and in the packaging – some amounts of those always ends up polluting the Natures part. (Besides – there's even bigger benefit, nowadays, in favoring the stuff where ingredients are of organically cultivated sources, from the natural plants – resultant also ecologically complete dissolvable. Cons for that waters quality, of course by nowadays...)  -----

'Washing cloth' (,self-made, woven) - Surprisingly simple, practical - and most ecological idea. ; Instead from that 'flow' of the all now 'arrived' de-composing (,and non-decomposing) - new 'green', and so "ecologic" cloths for the cleaning kitchen tables - Why not just make/buy one self-made ? Saves money, reduces amount trash. It can well be washed w. the laundries. Or wash by hands.

Not too many extra words needed, on that. 

...Probably there's nowadays many similar sort 'everyday'-products that formerly, even, weren't imagined needed for being bought. The more 'advanced' an economy, the more commercialised any levels the culture, country - the more apparent that finding. Simple ideas often save much 'the trouble' - And hence it's often quite so difficult recognize, nowadays.  Some tothe best ideas, I mean..

 (; ...We're or course not very accustomed on much of that, anymore.) But any green economy, in the real sense of the words, also can't be bought. 

 

; Hence the real 'cause' of the problem too - capitalism rarely 'self-directed'/directs for the more sensible use of the natural resources, because it taken for granted that such would, 'automatically' - and it most often does - slow down profit making. Results ? ...Ecological disasters, economic depression 'periods', modern 'crash economics' - smght the social/societal researchers  seem presently often talk about, economics 'low down' built already in the making from 'growth' - ...imbalance btw rich and the 'poor' countries; the heats, droughts, food scarcities - With not any apparent discovery, years long,  'bout that the ecology can't be bought. (Nor 'bout that the constant selling it for the demand by commerce - 'expansive growth' - seems emerge, every day, to the less profiting.)  

And hence, the even more striking a contradiction in the capitalist economy today. To keep sellin' people the same ('same s**t'; economy, commerce over the 'resources', and, foremost - over the ecology), by increasingly, demands people being taught to treat those fails (above listed) from as insignificant, non-important. 

(As anyone probably noticed, to do - smght - meaningful for the problem, only happens when enough people stop believing in the 'message', false information in that. ; Acc the how that by presently seems: In a few decades, maybe, to some half the century. Because fromafter - Only more fails are almost 'unanimous' expected in the sight, during by that time. Ie; predicted in form of increases by imbalance, and degradations of the climatic conditions. As it for now seen by most climate scientists. ; 'Heats'. Costs. Inequality? Extinctions? I need not say more.) ----- 

'(More) Water-containers' ; ...ie: I've then, 'by nowadays', put some more thought on the collecting from rainwaters. (To the garden uses, like was said before.)

; And, I of course quite noted at this year how much the truth when it said the rains seem, nowadays, seem pour in not any very 'equal' measures. (Such as at the one above cited link/article there was noted, I recall.)

Typically, on during some very dry summer like - this one - there may indeed rain amounts in only by fewsome days, on some places - and then no rain for weeks. Or in Months even, such as we now were finding...the climate, by this Summer.

...That in mind, the above pic. By an 'early season', thought I had for 'well prepared' and had even increased the number in my uses – But apparently it wasn't, not nearly, from 'enough' - As I ran out from any collected water, ca, by the first weeks from that June.

Yet I think: Via this collecting, even if practicing such little actual 'cultivating' as mine are – even if it only to the gardening needs, not much any 'staples' (, and other that sort...) – You do get a much better understanding 'bout from how's for tge water's lasting, by nowadays, if taking a some effort for it's collecting. Even if only for this sort 'diminute' needs. (Like the perennials and other flowers that generally not consume very much of waters.)

; Anycase, if the snows also appear to still get/remain in scarcer during oncoming Winters, - likely, the expected Spring-heats also might appear represent the more harmful burdens in any gardening tasks. Then it's a good idea have any good amounts 'in reserve'. '(...Though, on here latitudes, that watering on those Spring-Months, usually, only tends appear beneficial during by some certain weeks – and, mostly/only when it ahving been for the very dry. Such as on by the few years back, was.)

(And another 'intressant' learnt thing at that, is...That one, indeed, also needs for being around when it does rain. Or, alternatively then, need of to invent some good collecting systems in ones uses...) ; Obviously, like anyone – I'd rather see not so prolonged dry-periods. Thinkin' part the issue, 'local cause' even, that constant seen building activity here region(s). But think I've also said before most to that. ; I only mean; You are forewarned...Was for bad enough, already by this Summer. (Not believing? - Well, then, mark down these preceded words by mine...)  ----------------- 

[Photo] ; ('late addit') - Appears a bit 'problematic' if I'd here to advert the Tea w. some/any ecological argumenting. ; From due...because it's cultivation being amongst some 10 (or twenty) most lands and ecological resource 'consuming' products in the human agricultures. (Actually vast tracks land that, from the truth said, could instead be cultivated more 'sparingly'. More sustainably.)

; Yet, any good tea is...always worth some good cup. Or, from the fewsome.

Presently, I've mostly advocated – the Puerh. (And hence the reasons, why also was here, this pic too.)  ----

[Photo] ; ('late addit') - Yet another...good eco-product: The “Bee's Wrap”.

At the packaging it's adverted as a 'natural alternative to plastic wrap'.

Indeed, quite so, I've found that very useful. (Even, despite for not having had that prod much long in use as yet.) It seems also noted that in the Bee's Wrap it not practical wrapping the meats, or the fish. (Prob due because from the 'adhesive' scent in those.) 

 

The basic idea is to stop using disposable, plastic wrappers. And instead, re-use the bee wrap in repeated times. From the materials used, in the package seems it said: 'beeswax, organic cotton, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin.'

Probably available in any good eco-shops, from 'near you'. (I mean, if you then happen to have any...for nearby.)

Simply recommendable.

Start using some. Come on, Stop hesitating now. ...What are you (wastin') for - ???.

(By anycase, the Life's - by anyones, that meaning: any 'brute', beast or anysome Man/Woman – All life's being from to too valuable, all too scarcified for being sacrificed for...plastics. ; Yak !) ---------

[Photo] ; Heliotropes (Heliotropium arborescens) - The first one to flower from my this year sowed 'batch'.

 (The discovery brings me some satisfaction, of the reason that I actually not had the time to check on books for any particularsfor their cultivating - I just guessed what the most necessary requirements would've to be..)

 

; But indeed, I've noticed that it foremost seems need quite plenty fertilizer and watering to grow very well – Even in such “heavenly” conditions given to 'em now, as these heats and warms been to so continuous through the whole Summer. As from it's source of origin/regions where it by natively grows said to include, at least, Peru, Columbia – Then you obviously get the idea that it not by every Summer, very prob., would do of so well in here, in the 'temperate' climates. 

; While the heliotropes said for tempt a varia insects, esp the butterflies, so far I've not seen any on. 

That might of course been due because these heats – Or, maybe, of the reason that more 'commonplace' choices are favored by those ones that I now seem start for see. ; Well, by the lately them most 'regularly' seem to arrive by the time when Ligularias start flowerin'. Ie, just around by this timing on the Summer. July 'late weeks'.

; But just yesterday there was even one from the 'Frits' - ie of Argynnis - Some that I very rarely seen at the garden. (As I by formerly noted, wrote some lenghts on about that...) Guess'll then check for what that species might been, for the more specifically – Oh yes, seems (that) it was...Argynnis paphia, the 'Silver-washed Fritillary'. 'Till by around 2000s it seems appeared only by the eastern parts country, not scarce but of 'relative scarce'. However, as a strong flier - that nowadays appears found having extended it's any range to the west, further inland. So not anyhow remarkably 'unlike' from found at the garden, these days. While not any typical 'urban dweller', neither. Not on here parts the country. Ao, etc...

 

...The Heliotropes concerning I had only one obstacle – guess I might've mentioned 'bout that too before – there wasn't for their planting many very good, most sunshiniest spots left in the garden. As there on almost any such places already was former planted perennials. That may have also affected that my plants remain of relative small still. (And cons the late Summer approaching, maybe not so much growing time anymore...) But there's still plenty weeks of warmer Summers – in fact been even of too warm this far. – So, I'll guess that all of my four plants still likely to flower. As we also now finally had some actual rainy day(s), and more to come they also predict – that seems the more 'confirmed'. 

; ...I've actually continued fertilizing them w. the biobact, still after their planting on benches. (Which was sensible – the one now flowering seems slight 'bitten' of the leafs – perhaps it was due there I used also bone meal in the same bench. Not much the harm donoe still. And for all the others – Any defects (paling of leafs, etc.) seem originated from the drying, and, perhaps, due because not in all places were found not so so 'ideal' for 'em. Some a bit shaded, that meant. ; - But, of all my planted saplings, I only lost one in during the previous seen heats. (Guess I planted it on too early...) 

Such as maybe only expectable, despite it got of several degrees colder (now only, maybe around over 20 C) now, those are still developing - very well.

Obviously, them wouldn't then overwinter.  (Might try [?], w. one relocated on indoors, cold 'storage'...)

 

But I still have some number seeds in the packet – Can next year grow some more, w. better experience for now gained. And by the way – for the further informations – on Wikip. (ao,) there seemed also the mention 'bout that plant's '...seeds toxic.' -----

 

[Photo] ; ...At begins noted from the Monarda (Monarda didyma, 'Bergamot' or Bee Balms in common name,) might give the idea, lead for a misconception that 'bumbles' not being so fond for the plant. Quite the contrary, now that the ones in garden probably producin' more of the nectars - or, maybe there just is more of the bees by now, some week after - I've seen several on those. By any evening, or when it was 'semi-cloudy' by day. 

(The Echinaceae - Coneflowers - were just coming to blooming by this timing. And usually, noted that marking the season on where more plentitudes of the species there around - Or, more in the numbers by specimens. Perhaps that also due because them often easily observable on the Coneflowers.) 

 

But, on Monardas I've also, by the occasioned, seen some for the 'less usual' species from. 

; Probably not (very) rare would even normally 'lose ones way' for to these gardens of mine...ie, those not appear by range for any too 'nearbies'. 

; And, as I've mentioned, having also before noticed that there is species - such as B.veteranus - here 'relative common', that I notice not had seen in the garden floweres. ; Acc. the description (IUCN) the 'occurrence' wouldn't seem too unlike, however - as it said to favor open 'grasslands and shrubby wood-edge' as habitats. More so, 'associated primarily with...e.g.' Trifolium, Lamium album, Veronica longifolia. - And I have Veronicas, 'though their V.spicata's, in the garden. Lamium album is relative common here, grows by many places. So, maybe I've just not recognized that. From additionally: while the the species populations are noted generally 'in decline', acc the IUCN (by it's 2015-data) ; That also has said it's range not extending beyod 'the 60th parellel', '...except in Finland where its range appears to be rapidly expanding...' ...(oddly?, Or not so much so, and whether one then can reliably assume see at that some 'impact' due from the global warming...) ;  And also then, seemed said that species '...lives in the plains of northern Europe.' For it said not to occur on the more Southern parts Europe, or 'not reliably reported south of the Alps.' ; Finally to mention, at the Northern parts from Finland it said for spread to the Sweden, across the borders. (As I read about, from other sources.) In overall, it's range in the Europes, 'patchy'. Perhaps that  representative, from a rather 'typical example', then.

; Anyway, the one in pic wasn't the .veteranus - But instead, by my 'belief', was a some specimen from the B.subterraneus. (For my 'rejoices and happinesses', as it was some sort re-encounter again - After that one by last Summer. In the previous posts described, on the former year.) ; Of course, that I both times seem seen those on Monardas doesn't tell anything 'bout that they'd specifically keen to those - non-native plants, garden flowers - but at least there's some assuming that the former seen wasn't just for some 'passerby'. And that this gardening well worth the time devoted for it...

“Our present global crisis is more profound than any previous historical crises; hence our solutions must be equally drastic. I propose that we should adopt the plant as the organizational model for life in the twenty-first century, ... This means reaching back in time to models that were successful fifteen thousand to twenty thousand years ago. When this is done it becomes possible to see plants as food, shelter, clothing and sources of education and religion.

The process begins by declaring legitimate what we have denied for so long. Let us declare nature to be legitimate. ... The notion of illegal plants and animals is obnoxious and ridiculous.”

; “The plant-human relationship has always been the foundation of our individual and group existence in the world. What I call the Archaic Revival is the process of reawakening awareness of traditional attitudes toward nature, including plants and our relationship to them. ...”

; “Connectedness and symbiosis: Like plants, we need to maximize the qualities of connectedness and symbiosis. Plant-based approaches to modeling the world would include awareness of the fractal and branching nature of community action. A treelike network of symbiotic relationships can now replace the model of evolution that we inherited from the nineteenth century. The earlier model, that of the tooth-and-claw struggle for existence, with the survivor taking the hindmost, is a model based on naive observation of animal behavior. Yet it was cheerfully extended into the realm of plants to explain the evolutionary interactions thought to cause speciation in the botanical world. Later, more sophisticated observers (C.H.Waddington and Erich Jantsch) found not the War in Nature that Darwinists reported but rather a situation in which it was not competitive ability but ability to maximise cooperation with other species that most directly contributed to an organism's being able to function and endure as a memeber of a biome. Plants interact with each other through the tangled mat of roots that connects them all to the source of their nutrition and to each other.“

; “...The Gaian biologists, Lovelock, Margulis, and others, have argued pervasively that the entire planet has been self-organized by microbial and planktonic life into a metastable regime favorable to biology and maintained there for over two billion years. Plant-based Gaia has kept a balance throughout time and space – and this in spite of the repeated bombardment of the earth by asteroidal material sufficient to severely disrupt the planetary equilibrium. We can only admire – and we should seek to imitate such a Tao-like sense of the planet's multidimensional homeostatic balance. But how? I suggest we look at plants – look more deeply, more closely, and with a more open mind than we have done before.” ; (Terence McKenna) ; 'Plan/Plant/Planet', on The Archaic Revival: Speculations on psychedelic mushrooms, the Amazon, Virtual reality, UFOs, Evolultion, Shamanism,the Rebirth of the Goddess, and the End of History (1991; p. 218, 219, 221, 222.)

“The accusation which has been frequently made against Goethe, that notwithstanding his passionate admiration for women, he has throughout his works willfully and systematically depreciated womanhood, is not just, in my opinion. No doubt he is not so universal as Shakespeare, nor so ideal as Schiller: but ... his portraits of individual women are true as truth itself. His idea of women generally was like that entertained by Lord Byron, rather oriental and sultanish, he is a little of the bashaw persuasion. ...

His only heroic and ideal creation is the Iphigenia, and she is as perfect and as pure as a piece of Greek sculpture. I think it a proof that if he did not understand or like the active heroism of Amazonian ladies, he had a very sublime idea of the passive heroism of female nature. The basis if the character is truth. The drama is the very triumph of the unsullied, unflinching truth. It has been said, that Goethe intended this character as a portrait of the Grand Duchess Louise, of Weimar. The intention of the poet remains doubtful; but it should seem that from the first moment the resemblance was generally admitted; and what a glorious compliment to the Duchess was this acknowledgement! It was through this true-heartedness, ...that she prevailed over the angry passions, and commmanded the respect of Napoleon, a man who openly condemned women, but whose instructions to his ampassadors and ministers always ended with 'Soignez les femmes,' a comment of deep import on our false position and fearful power.”

Despite the weathers been quite favorable, indeed,'supposin I'd this time planted too many large plants beside whom enshaded them too much on early season. (Sun-flowers and those Primroses, more specific. particularly.)

Well - there's some Months still left – Actually, not from 'thrown away all my lucks', cons this, as yet...  

; Further...'Comments' (added, 6.9.2021)

The main interesting aspect closer the ends by this Summer having still remained the same:Weather. It even seem to turn out like, in the backward look, that all of the parts to this writing merely having followed from according the felt weather conditions. Some during this previous season. If not exact 'obedient' for followed (that), at least – we can say mostly 'bout drought and rains. (So, I guess it must be the high time we close this post, therefore. Even that we find the Summer now still continuing, to a fewsome weeks and maybe even for some Months...) 

 

Due because of a previous described seen enlenghtened dry-period (June, July), on the early Summer, we've now at the Aug mostly been experiencing somewhat more of the cold weathers. More so than on any 'average' year. Not then to the most favorable conditions for the plants, one also comes for notice. – 'Though, the felt rains have also been for such plenty that what one also may notice is that the trees, plus alongside, many other plants, seem for to quite easily already 'recovered' of the prev longlasted 'drought'. From subsequent after, in during these fewsome weeks, postafter that (quite hellish) summer-period. 

 

(Which all, above few paragraphs, was merely for to make a briefer recollecting 'bout our previous Summer's weather conditions.)  -----

 

[Photo] ; ...and there another 'example', just for...from fun of it. ; Happened so (, that) in during the early Summer I 'dumped' for the compost one additional seedling from those Squashes that had for germinated . (That was, from the weakest grown one.) - For my utter surprises, it now lately (postafter those rains by Aug) seems have developed the plentyful of leaves from! Perhaps – as they always say that compost a good place grow some squash – I'll see some fruit from that too. (Before the Autumn colds arrivin' from.) Although, one can't dare for too hopeful – Similarly as the most other 'spots', in my garden, the place is bit semi-shaded. And that's the main obstacle that I'm usually not having so many. But a few more wouldn't do any bad - As it seems emerged to so 'eagerly' at that place...

 

; I've then also, fx, by the lately, not  seen much any bees in a garden – Mostly it's from just due for the same said reason; an amount by rains this Aug. ; However, it also gotten a some level more cold now. Feels like the very best period for the observing 'bout those bumbles, and as well similarly of the daytime butterflies, at my garden 'spot' maybe over to this year. Or, of course them perhaps likely to return for a briefer weeks by more warm conditions still...But some experience gained in during any of the former years tells me that for largest 'peak' concerning both the best flourescense by the plants, and to them accompanying (many) insects arrivals – that seems appear already from over. 'Till the next season therefore... --------- 

 

[Photo] ; ...Such as I did perhaps say, last year planted around garden, various places, numbers those Primroses (O.biennalis).

; Since them always opening at the eve's arrival, for the night-time – The Primroses also look very enchantin in the night dusk. (Various many, several plants, of course, do really 'shine' of best in their colors only by the night. But think it's the more apparent characteristic on these particularly. Probably the fragnance is also more noticeable during the night.)

...By these 'late' weeks – well it's only August, still – I've also noted that some of my plants seem reached their any ultimate end for flowers. Or that the assumption, as some those stems then only seem from fall off, sort like. (Not all though...however.) ; But, having found these so nice to keep at garden, I've actually made siome sowings for a few more to a next season. Now hoping only that there still remains enough warm weeks them to develop to ready-for-planted - before any frosts arrive.

(With some luck...I didn't awake in the effort too early. So actually are not yet to very many weeks...)

 

[Photo] ; ...Havin' noted their scented 'attractions' in during night-time, I also happened on one time have the chance for photograph this one 'average', relative smaller Moth – on a Primrose flower. That was some quite warm and calm night, by the late from July. And there during by same night I noted also numbers others droppin' by, for the flowers. (; This one species looks not from decorative some – but you aren't exactly to so sure, actually. Sometimes they seem look rather dull, colourless, or for the 'unimpressive' in during night – Until in the morning one may find one and recognize it can have rather interesting decorations. (Found by the morning having stayed overnight covered by some leaf, or that sort...) Well the species is, actually, some quite common one. But I don't recall it's name outright, or by any memory from...   -------  

 

 

[Photo] ; ...more of those Bee Balms. Just for their any plentyfulness in my garden. (They're actually mostly on a way to the wither, by now. But it's also fun part in having so many that the color in between separate 'groups' at my garden little varies. These grow – perhaps – in a bit more drier place, so maybe it a reason that them always seem remain, almost pink (most part from a season.) At some other spots those more quick change for the 'deeper' reds.

Actually, now thinkin' 'em for some 'backbone'-flowers on my garden – I'm having so many.

 

[Photo] ; Bumble... - This one, I believe, would've appeared B.terrestris, the 'Buff-tailed bumblebee'. Although, it appears then also from noted on those that (the .terrestris) '...workers look just like workers of white-tailed bumblebee, b.lucorum...yellowish bands of b.terrestris being darker in direct comparison.' However 'bout this one – 'suppose I photographed it too because the said specim represented quite large one too. Although...then you notice the B.cryptorum-queen, actually, also a very resemblant one – perhaps. 

; Whatever the case 'bout that part... (Again,) from recalling I'd former made the mention that B.terrestrises only seen from since by 1990s, at here ranges. And the species said for spread ('partly') of the 'greenhouse-escapees' – and, partly from the arrivals that'd originated from it's Estonian and Swedish populations. (Acc Goulson, I think I'd read from that about; ...the species spread is not seen as any 'cause for major ecological 'disturbance', as them do appear from the European-continent by origin. But at the other regions, like was said, them are found exported – lot more so...) ; Would give us some place to few more observances...cons the (human-cultivation, from 'em,ao) that greenhouse pollinating – But 'suppose that has to wait some other occasion. (So much already wrote on, for varia other particulars, on this...) 

 

[Photo] ; And another photo – On a Bee Balm, this too. Of this photo one can see the specfics better – so, my one guess, supposed that might've appeared a specimen from – that B.terrestris.

...Along these, the 'bumbles' bring on mind that there several smaller species of, too. Some that I've perhaps not even mentioned in above/at any previous writings. For it quite usual them tend be even less easy identify – and then, one easily pays more attention to those larger ones. But, think must've seen, occasional at least, from these following: B.humilis ; and B.jonellus at least. Maybe other too. ; ...And then, I'm now noticing that the workers of a B.veteranus are from relative small. (Only '6-14 mm's.) Soforth, it not actually not at all unlike – as it also being relative common – if some those might've from 'dropped by', too. (After all.)  -------- 

 

Cons the trees we've then almost obliged to pay some more attention, remarks here too.

Like it having been predicted since some time before, decades priorly – and such as we did fx a little mention on some from former post(s) - Spruces seem represent the species that here latitudes, perhaps, for the most likely having the "vastest" suffered in seen increase by heats. (Those 'dry-spells', the continued 'droughts', ao. ...And all else negative 'effects' that now more often seem to be experienced, and to traceable for that one often seen but rarely caught big, 'bogey', monster at our times: the Global Warming.)

 

; Or, of the more correct again, would be perhaps, if one's were from say that these constant alterations in between 'heavy' heats and now observed/noticed “monsoonic” rains may have all the potential to severely increase their observed dry-up. Making the dieback more potential at the certain locations. The spruces showing clear signs for had become the more vulnerable to - In the some environments.

; ...As I actually suppose that a level for anything to it, how much a singular tree (or groups from, meaning any small woods) might've taken the 'hits' – due that - It probably also returns for a particular condition by any soils their growing at. And, also fx to how near on anyplace are the ground-water sources. Etc. - Whether it's the very rocky hillsides, or fx of some rather swampy forest floors where those happen grow. In general, if it for more of that latter 'sort' from, somewhat the less any observable 'climatic damages' may appear direct noticeable – probably.) ; Also the level of the growth – how large trees, at which 'stage' of it's development the particular forestry appears – must affect at this specific concern.

(Of course, there's then always some amount the dead wood at these Northern boreal forests. Spruces among those maybe already formerly some for commonest species – You can't fx estimate all those 'setbacks' now seen been directly due from the effects by now warmed weathers.) 

 

; Yet I think from seen now bit more of the died ones, in 'amongst'. Or, 'in the way' for the dying – Also, sometimes, at places where the more 'dense', in general rather 'natural' (multispecies) mixed forests prevail. (The striking difficulty in estimating from any cases 'how badly' that, how much due  the climate 'effects', is actually down to a fact that there are, also, spots and regions where them seem to show not much any 'harms' felt, at all.)

; In any compare for the pines (ie, here Norwegian Pine, Pinus sylvestris), the Spruces still generally seem appear show more of the signs due that increased climatic 'stress'. At least, cons the pines I think, their amount in for that dead-wood doesn't seem from to near similar level for increased. And in addit that - I think the Pines don't seem like they'd showing any similar amount affected by that recent heat-spell. Perhaps, some places, even the less than certain species of deciduous trees.

By any plain eyes noted. Basis any casual observance of the above described sort. But, after this long dry season, think I've yet perhaps noted bit more often the occasional dried-up twigs on those too. (Again, hard to say if that should appear – or, for how much – it would to tell from any too serious disturbances either. Like I perhaps already said, even the Spruces at all their environments – from all the various forested places those and separate 'ranges' any singular trees happen from grow - don't show in the equal levels to had suffered badly these recent heats. Or, esp cons this recent, more lasting one during previous summer Months.)

Yet,conifers in general don't seem like them to too much enjoyed 'those heats', either. ; But I can't say that them would've exactly seem for showing some (from a particularly increased,) vulnerability to for. Not are in some drastically more 'bad state' now fromafter. While there maybe appearing some number that' perhaps the more severely, potentially, the pests-stricken now. But, apparently not in the very large amounts on the way for 'dying out'. Nothing so seriously visible, can be noticed. (As yet.)

Yet despite that notion – seems it also that an enshortening by any cold season, Winters, might mean those conifers should find any subsequent emergin 'conditions' to less favoring. (In during coming years. And in compare with most deciduous trees, the latter mentioned have the benefit, in anycases, in fallin off' their leaves to that period of the lessened light, when the days become shorter.)

; And then is the potential for increased an risk of the fires – Should the now precent Summer seen heat-period(s) to become a more repeating observed a condition. Can't say for sure, from how soon, of course – But that also seems appear what for the expected, the prediction. 

Wouldn't guess anything to it's part - Too early here ranges, to say of the increased likehoods. (But if the storms become more common - does add to the potential vulnerability for.) 

Yet, I think now to having noted in some occasions there being examples of drying up specimen also on deciduous trees. ...Although, that then goes – mostly – goes back to the 'eye of the beholder', perhaps. (Since from the deciduous trees one doesn't quite so apparent much always notice from whether/if some to those appear for actually died in standing.) ; One may fx then wonder from whether it just having 'skipped' making the leaves. From because of the same reason, the experienced 'climatic stresses' – but, it feels like, one is not always so sure for whether that's merely 'saving resources' for the oncoming seasons, skippin' that behalf the better later growth periods. --------

 

[Photo] ; ...Then is, fx, this 'particular' fly. Not from any distinct reason this featured...except, maybe, that it happened look quite photographic on that greenhouse ceiling. Stayed there to some time. ; Like some “Fly on the wall...”, or, perhaps even like some 'Dirt in the shield...' - 'Stuck on the mud, like a fly in the...' - Well, you may've gotten the idea. Let's not get to too underrating, either. ; Flies often are for (very) capable fliers – So them often also tend appear become to sorts of such nuisances...

 

 

[Photo] ; - now here, too.; On my Liguria's there these Aug weeks - is seen some plenty butterflies. At any sunniest days from. Amongst those, also was this – the Peacock. (As I've perhaps formerly noted from, to the four most usual species I see now on garden these weeks appear be: Peacock, Tortoiseshells, the Red Admiral. (The Brimstones seem remain to some occasional, but 'regular' passer-by's. Almost on any period from the Summer.) ; Vanessa cardui (the Painted Lady's) we're still awaiting – it about weeks, so shall see if them would appear by some numbers. At least expectable (?)– as it having been for this warm a Summer. Yet...not from certain, maybe.

 

[Photo] ; ...And then – I recently only noted this 'view' (ie, by the early from Aug.): Sun-flowers tend gather most various insects. At here, climatic 'ranges' - or regions from - not the most exceptional or 'scarcities', perhaps come by those. (After all, they're not native flowers here.) ; But I've noted that several more 'regular' ones seek the cover or by other reasons inhabit those large flowers, often by when those emerging.

Soforth – this picture just feats the amount by Heteroptera (bugs) – at the photo, most on flowers stem, right under the flower. - Of the true bug's ecology one might get an assumption, that this seen 'bunch' may have represented just recent emerged – ie recent born ones. 'Though, these already seemed relative large.

; The 'True bugs', or hemiptera - acc. the Wikip., appear be/are '...often limited to the suborder Heteroptera. Many insects commonly knows as 'bugs', ...belong to other orders; for example, the lovebug is a fly and the May bug and ladybug are beetles.' (So now you know...'bout Hemiptera, of '80,000 species'. A significant number.)  ----------

[Photo] ; ...My sapling here Tilea (ie, Small-leaved Lime, Tilea cordata), in the vase. ; I actually changed that for a bit larger container on an early Summer – As I still hadn't been able of to decide/find out for it the proper place of planting. To choose for place from the tree is the 'gnawing' important a decision - That will have to grow in it's place there, then the rest from it's days! Matter-a-fact it might be well-a-time to that, having grown that to several years, now. (On the 'garden pots'...)

But anycase, maybe it was due of that replanting – or maybe just due because this dry period – that it's leaves look still rather small. Even, also from slight 'worn out' at that pic. (...Of course, one would think it quite natural as even a name from it says, 'small-leaved Lime'. - But, actually it seems to had had needed some extra 'effort' in growing from those leaves to any larger, by this year. (Flowered despite that, quite without any troubles, however, apparently...)

Now that there finally has been some more of a rain – the issue might appear, 'passing'.

; ...Anyway, while the deciduous trees not near so “fragile” on those excesses of heats/dry periods (as are the conifers) – I've also fx noted that to this year any flowerin' from the Tilea was, often, generally lot less. (In compared to the very previous one, which was – also from a relative heated Summer.)

; And, it's then also notings worth that by any former 'regular climates' (Say, ten years ago and more for priorly...) the Tilea (the here native Tilea; ie, .cordata) tended flower only by after from every five to seven years. In other words: It's natural cycle was from much less 'intense' – due because of the climate's 'harshness' 'till that far. (Meaning w. that; By any more significantly. W. the plentiest of flowers. As on practically each year them do flower - But the number in developing flowers mostly is from the much less.) 

 

I then can't also quite avoid from to wonder how's 'bout that in any futures – Shall the trees actually change their that 'cycle' now?

 

 (...Given that any/most species of tree reflects a past from some tens millions years, an evolutionary 'continuum' since at least that far,) ...I find it not very unlike if they'd be able to quite 'rapidly'; in time by some half-a-century or maybe even in decades – now 'adapt' and change that 'rhythm'. Acc the more warmer climates, start to flower in much denser cycle. Or not. Maybe, apparently, this exhaustive Summery dry periods wouldn't show for too favorable cons that, after all... ; Also, given that these climatic 'ranges', and the ecology from following that, are now shifting in during a very 'short-term' period – Maybe there's some other sort adaptation(s) that trees can find the more...proper ones to make? ; Of course, I'm just wondering what for the most expectable consequent 'actions' might be, are perhaps already in happening. 

[Pic/photo, above beside] ; ...same as on the adjacent 'margin' (See of details, on there...)

But it seems notable that the place where one plants the tree, indeed, might from these climatic prospects - now so often predicted for – drought, erosion, 'floodings', heat – that indeed feels like even more important an aspect. So not in any haste for. -------- 

 

(Photo) ; Of the Liguria's: At some occasional, by the recent sunshinier day – Another glance/an overall picture of this plant. (That quite old by now, so it's also a relative large one...So no wonder it the main attraction to some butterflies.) ; At this photo, the four species – that by prior were mentioned - can be seen. (Unless the photo is of a bit too far taken, making it less easy recognize all those from any detail...)

 

(Photo) ; And a more 'closer look' – As I also had the chance for see that Argynnis again.(Ie that 'Silver-washed Frit', on some above pics mentioned, formerly.) - It had from returned to some other visit(s) still. ...And what then the more nicer, on during these days - as after from this season when this present global 'furnace', known as (human-made) planetary heating, or this "global heating" - seemed finally to this season, or at least by temporarily, 'offset'. ; As the “end of the world” was nearing, the heatwaves blowing, the 'dragon's lair' was noted for sometime seen of smokin' out the plenty evermore, ever 'thicker', worrysome warning signals...and...then... - But perhaps it's just better if now cut for short from these sort imaginations. (I'll tell you more 'bout that 'dragons lair' sometime later. Once we're done w. this.)  

A bit draconian-lookin, that Frit, by the way - Don't you think? (In a positive way, I think.)

However - think I noted that it's 'overwings' did look from the slight more darker than at the one previous seen. ...But maybe it was just from that the light was less bright – Or perhaps it then wasn't quite that same specimen. Can't tell, who's to say... (Notice the bee at the nearby flower, too.)

 ; 

...'Suppose, we'd to have the still lots more to say on the bumbles. They're so enchanting. So much 'connected' to the garden, and for the flowers of course. Maybe on some further post. 

;  But that said now...Closing from the 'Garden-posts', and of these "bee-s-tories". (Of to this year's part...) --------

(...To return for the trees, in 'more generally'...)

 

; ...For examples, some Elms growing nearby our local 'corners' I've now bit watched: By the recent started to look like them might've suffered, particularly, in during the few most prev of years. (That shouldn't so much surprise, either, though – After all, those Elms also appear to grow nearby the roadside. Though it being a smaller road, of the more specifically said.) 

; Whatever that then should tell about – a now increased 'potentiality' of their further devastation (from the Elms meaning, due the present climatimate's 'unpredictability'.) Or elsemuch smthg in more wider sense – or, if those should just be 'judged' to the singular examples – Can't to too much say. The Elms (Ulmus glabra, mainly, on here 'ranges'), on the central European 'range', and at Britain, seem to some time (decades by) been said become particularly vulnerable; Were often even dying under attacks by the bark beetles (esp due that famous 'Dutch Elm disease'). ; Here anything like having so far been noted much less affecting – 'though tree also appears in here Natures, to most regions, far less common. But these aspect(s) too may be changin now, perhaps. 

 

; Even so, I think the issue, maybe, also relates some part tothose specific conditions and environmental condition by any singular place, too – I think the Elms I observed on other places seem not similarly 'affected'. (Which all said, merely, to point out that the deciduous trees also are said suffer some diseases and invasives. How badly, it also now probably does have become, more often, traceable for the climatic changes seen – more particularly, to  how rapid those now are felt...)

But from the Spruces...I wonder how the case 'bout any of the spots where those here appear said formerly in  the more 'densely' planted – ie at those economic forestries, most for planted sometime around between the 1960s to 2000. (Suppose.) Oftenmost those monotonic, ecologically poor one-species stands, as I've in the some former occasions remarked 'bout. – While I also suppose that there must actually be certain variety and differences in any environment conditions from those too. And that such quite some affects their any particular vulnerablity to advances by 'climatic' deterioration too. So, the local “biosphere”, the soil and micro-climates must affect some much in between the various places.

All in all, the overall tree-cover still here being one of the 'densest' at the European. It seems still to me as major positive 'factor' too, on here. (Such as I said at the begins, trees now seem like havin' quite easy 'pass' in recovering from this precedent 'Summer-drought'. As from what the little I've observed.) 

 

; The question is, how does it affect from the more longer-term, in concerning. From the trees, a usual prediction (here ranges) is to the warming 'pavin way' for an increase by more warm-adapted deciduous trees - And conifers displaced towards the more northern level at their main 'range' of presence. And one indeed sometimes commonly may have noticed that of the saplings for (fx) species like Oak, Maple possibly, (Small-leaved) Lime, Ash (Fraxinus excelsior)...there is, probably, all from now more seen. ; As by present, or from formerly, the forest industry very little planting or 'maintaining' any from the said. So also actual 'hardwood' forests are still merely quite marginal in any amount of actual woods here. (Are with a more limited 'presence'.) ; At least from the Oaks and Limes – similarly as much the elsewhere Europe - the aspect also being traceable for that both trees had become quite heavily 'harvested' already to prior this present “modern era”. (By that meaning the 1900s.) Both also appear the relative slow-growing species. 'Though, in the favorable conditions can appear for the relative fast even, if fx the conifers to some comparison. ------- 

 

In the more generally: Suppose that the last Winters snows made also this Summery heat-period actually for the more easily 'passable' for ecology. Any changes in the Winter-season, probably, affect on these things even more than any 'passing' summer heat-periods.

Conifers at least are obviously the most vulnerable for that latest years noticed significant decrease in the wintery snow-covers. Or for that enshortening the duration by that colder period, the winter Months.

But for examples, in the more 'North' of the country – by the latest Winter I observed – that much of the conditions seemed, perhaps, more resemblant for what felt here in the few decades past. That (also, almost) brings me to remark that since the loss of tree-cover here is the more far 'advanced' – while, in any compare for much of the more urbanized parts Central Europes still most would find that rather 'decent' – not much anywhere here is it very densely populated, either – Makes me think that the best way 'to adapt' in that global warming, even at here regions, would be from to (again) afforest some parts this more urbanized area of the country.

 

I mean...as I've said before...nowadays that also does much affect on a level by the – health. Human heath. The more of a shade. And, of the moisture. – For a few most apparent aspects. 

 

; Of course it also does matter on which manner the said re-foresting takes places, anyplaces. In fact, on any this sort 'urbanhoods' the best would appear if the remained copses and any amounts an existent ecologic 'diversity' would just be left for to remaining still. For in difference to any 'restored', or created, forest 'patches' those former said 'spots' would develop/remain ecologically stabilising cons those decades in the more near. Some oasises in the midst of this human build 'monotony'. And more so, the ever warmer it for being predicted, the global climates for developing...

(Unfortunately – I've not seen anything like but – merely the contrary at here for have taken the places. By the recent, few decades from.)

; And...the alternative is actually the reduced (local) 'tolerance' in any to be seen, oncoming year's heats. Of course, I don't dare predict anything 'bout that to particulars – 2003-heat was here bad as elsewhere, similarly by around that 2011, or so year(s). Then in during the very latest years – sometimes even worse. So whose to say for too –how it then appears, to some another, fewsome decade(s) after? 

 

[Addit ; 12.9] ...Very much related to these views, I also seem discover from some passage of the late below discussed Sheldrake. (2020-book.)

; Only little after came to glance over from my notes of it. Soforth, these few passages more added to this...bit 'late' in time – However, seems it appear quite keenly 'related' for cons much at the above said. : 

“... A large study in 2018 suggested that the 'alarming deterioration' of the health of the trees across Europa was caused by a disruption of their mycorrhizal associations, brought about by nitrogen pollution. Mycorrhizal associations born of the Anthropocene will determine much of the humans' ability to adapt to the worsening climate emergency. Nowhere are the possibilities – and pitfalls – more apparent than in agriculture.”

And also - here then some another significant important findings. (From a same source. Necessary in rather briefly, only in form by the selected few paragraph...On a fungi, those mycorrhizal-'associations', and what that might have to do w. the domesticated crop-plants, in more particularly.) ;

“Mycorrhizal fingi can increase the quality of harvest, ...They can also increase the ability of crops to compete with weeds and enhance their resistance to diseases by priming plants' immune systems. They can make the crops less less suspectible to drought and heat, and more resistant to salinity and heavy metals. They even boost the ability of plants to fight off attacks from insect pests by stimulating the production of defensive chemicals. The list goes on: the literature is awash with examples of the benefits that mycorrhizal relationships provided to plants. However, putting this knowledge into practice is not always straightforward. For one thing, mycorrhizal associations don't always increase crop yields. In some cases, they can even reduce them.

Katie Fields [is] ...one of the researchers... ['developing'] mycorrhizal solutions to agricultural problems. ' The whole relationship is much more plastic and affected by the environment than we thought,' she told me. 'A lot of the time the fungi aren't helping the crops take up nutrients. The results are super-variable. It totally depends on the type of the fungus, the type of plant and the environment in which it's growing.' A number of studies report similarly unpredictable outcomes. Most modern crop varieties have been developed with little thought for their ability to form high-functioning mycorrhizal relationships. We're bred strains of wheat to grow fast when they are given lots of fertilizer, and ended up with 'spoilt' plants that have almost lost the ability to co-operate with fungi. 'The fact that the fungi are colonising these cereal crops at all is a minor miracle,' Filed pointed out. “ ; '...Etc.' - I'll add for a previous noted the view-point that decades long “breeding” for crops 'to grow fast when are given lots fertilizer' also, very prob., resulted in that due much that use from nitrogen (,at the fertilizers) the cultivated 'strains' may appear become also less pest-resistent – And hence there was/exists in the agriculture, as it's accompanying consequence the ecologically harmful, from the agricultural futures thinkin' disadvantagous 'cycle' in that constant need of develop ever more effective herbicides, and insecticides. - Or more generally, those 'developments' in modern agri-history that'd also nowadays found to major causes in a decline of the soil quality, the increase by chemial toxins ending up on a variety from water sources. (...to a few aspects mentioned.) ; (from p. 159, 162. ; italics on a citated - Sheldrake's.)

 

But take my word – this does only seem for becoming still to greater of an importance.

As the heats appear only predicted for becoming the more frequent – In during any 'soon years' too, or during by the nearest decades from. ----- 

;

(Photo) ; Of the Sun-flowers again (such as easily recognizable.) Finally, on these August rains, also one of these my last year's larger variety started to flower. I didn't sow those anyhow specially, anyplace – Matter a fact, what I did was to grow several for these sunflower seedlings in the greenhouse (, from an early May). And then located them at various places in June. - So it actually came as a little surprise to me, by this late - that one amongst which grew was from these.

(But indeed, are from quite impressive large variety, I have to admit...) ------  

(Photo) ; ...Not very long after from adding those fewsome pics on the garden, Ligurias and Butterflies...; I had the 'luxury' for shortwhile visits – shortwhile', 'cause that was only on the sunnier day(s) in between now repeatedly occurring bit colder and lot rainier weathers – by several Brimstone. Such as notable them seemed dropped by, among others, at the Liguaria'n-blooms. Indeed, I see those not to very often on my gardens. (Even that forest-side is quite near. The species being, more than these other mentioned, often by woodsides occurring one...)

(Photo) ; ...That same definition doesn't, apparently, fit to so much for this one. (No, obviously, that does fit... : Another nice surprise sighting, some I lately saw !) - Although, this specim didn't stay very long – In fact I only barely had the chance for this one photographed during it's presence. ; Lycaena phlaes, seems as the likeliest identification – ao, because it's underwings seem show for the less coloric than some (,often scarcer) others in it's order or 'sub-clade' (that, Lycaeninae.) ----------

Other 'Notices' : 

 ; And don't...fall a victim to any 'protein-obsession' ; Given this is (briefer) section, we can't then quite leave out this one further article linked of that Gdian (again). 

; Due because, it discusses 'bout that now (, by the recent decades) seen protein-enthusiasm. The article itself, maybe, of a few years old already...

; ...Thinkin' it, indeed, makes the important remark 'bout that how that (marketed) 'proteinize yourself'-message nowadays seems like 'labeled and 'stamped' on large number the modern 'veggie-foods' – as well as on many other food packages. - So, indeed, I've too noticed there's being on markets common sold such curiosities as are: protein-puddings, -coffee, -waffels and -flakes and indeed: occasional one may even in passing pay a note: there's even protein-water. 

 

; As I happen think to much part the same as it said for in an above mentioned 'long-read' – I might think only even more negatively 'bout most to that 'stuff' - 'Suppose it then sufficient if I just cite on below for a briefer selection here (and read the rest from by your own choosing, or from interests on...) :

“...Much of the protein consumed in Europe is meat raised on materials that actually originate in South America or the US as soybean oil or other oilseeds... So long as we largely consume protein from animal sources, our obsession with protein is also likely to be bad for the planet.”

; Indeed, not at all necessary to 'over-proteinizing' oneself. (Unless you perhaps intend for the body-builder's-muscles – Then it might be, or sounds at least, to more a healthier choice than, are the steroids...) 

 

However feel free to 'protein-up' your...In case the given good reasons not, despite the anything in the said, didn't still convince. I actually need not say more on this; 'Bad for the planet' – nowadays, obviously, that can only appear for quite as bad cons your personal  well-being, as well. ; And even if not for...the 'unhealthy', even. But, 'protein-water'? ...I mean, whose 'diet' might, needed some ? And what the heck for...  ------

 

[and...Addit 12.9 ;] Another additioned Link, here place – Is to a one Nature's article (by 2016 apparently, ie that too now is from few years back now...).

; On about the example, or say 'case example', in the US's nuclear energy plants – As much at those are noted found in the 'nearest futures' to become rather aged, and what safety concerns that obviously seems having araised from.

...Here by earlier wrote, the quite plenty, on cons and about the nuclear 'sector'; From cons the energy plants, nuclear armaments, and pollution (, The latter said also in a variety threats, incl. the “regular” waste, and then a high radioactive-waste generated.) – So I not selected to this place any more quotations from specifically. ; However the article, fx, seems remarked that w. the maximum enlengthened times of the use permitted, would find the oldest plants in operation, at the US, in an estimable y. by 2080, to age about 100 years old.

; Of hence...It indeed not to too much surprises if in a country where the nuclear 'industry' practically originated, any new investments for it aren't in some time haven't been received in much favor by these later decades. ; But, mainly was linked above as it points out to some of said safety issues in the aging plants. And other aspects, relevant to know, for be reminded of.

...So why not read the said article too, alongside? Or 'in passing', while here, since we now happened for mentioned to that. (Takes not very much a time, besides...)

“The phrase 'the artifice of eternity' evokes a strangely mechanistic yet spiritualistic future into which the archetype of the UFO is calling humanity. Over the course of ten thousand years, from the earliest machines to the present, humanity is becoming a transplanetary creature. It is, as H.G.Wells said of history, 'a race between education and catastrophe.' incresingly destructive chemical and atomic processes are being released, forcing the species to realize that its aspirations are alien to the ecology of the planet and that it and the planet must part. ...

...Reality is a domain of codes , and that is why the UFO problem is like a grammatical problem – like a dangling particle in the fourth-dimensional language that makes reality. It eludes simple approaches because its nature is somehow embedded in the machinery of epistemic knowing itself.”, 

“... In fact, one of the things most puzzling to me is why the bizarre motifs of the DMT flash have not made their way into any culture anywhere, as far as I'm aware.” ; (McKenna): from 'A Conversation over Saucers' - ...on that already on above quoted book (The Archaic Revival, by -91; p. 63-4, 67. The article/interview orig. from y. -89.)

[Pic; at above, beside] ; Lenin - a 'portrait', depicted in Crepax's drawing. (Of some Valentina-story. Can't recall now, which one. Maybe?...that on 'Valentina's political education')   ------ 

 ...And still a fewsome more additions to photos by this post. (Mainly are from late Aug-weeks...)

[Pic] ; The first from Sun-flower 'cakes' that developed the seeds. ; ...It seems from had tasted well for the birds  visiting garden. (I've only noted the Great Tit on 'harvesting' from that. – But possibly there number other too which take benefit of it.) By itself the Sun-flower(s) many ways very beneficial plants, also when grown for the garden decoration. Another good thing is that them create quite plenty easily decompostable material – stalks, leaves – that can, fx, be left at place to help the soil better retain it's nutrients for the coming Summers.

; Of the bees (, the Bumbles mainly) one of course having to notice that my current variety/or amount to my flowers not too specifically, perhaps, not much would 'boost up' their population levels, as such. Yet, I imagine that the great variety of species I see must've originated from separate environmental 'spots' nearby. But indeed the important thing is the considerable variety I've to provide – along w. the recent 'adverted' examples native plants. That way, almost any time I spended watching 'em more longer momentum, I'd come by for some (bit) more 'random' seen ones – along from w. those most usual, most common species. Diversity leads for a...more of diversity.  -------

 

[Pic] ; More Street Art: 'The Dove strikes hard...' ; This one (too) is from the Finnish town of Jyvaskyla. ; Not too much to comment on this one – Except, that happened photograph this on a quite sunshiny day. So, it felt kind of funny to look at the photo and notice that actual sun-ray seems visible – it sort like does 'intensify' the drawing's 'theme', or subject for...or so. (Sort like the 'divine light', reaching down from the clouds, in some old painting...)

[Pic] ; 'Love-bug' ? ; ...Well, prob not. not exactly – But I was quite happy to discover this rather colourful and less common seen one on the garden plants too... (Species still appearing a common one, no doubt.)

[Pic] ; ...Any section on my garden herbs wasn't quite practical, anymore, for included to these writes/post. (Besides, I've not now cultivated any newsome herbs at my gardens, so that didn't feel to that necessary...) 

 

; Winter savory (Satureja Montana) I've a several small 'bushes' already. Unlike many people I actually use it also – by somewhat. (...people whom not so much like the slight bitter 'flavor' by it, and therefore rathercultivate the annual Summer savory - ie, Satureja hortensis L.) Reason to it's cultivation may be described two-fold: Indeed, such as noticeable from photo it does makes a nice decorative 'edging' at the herb gardens. (On adequate warm, protected places.) Second, since that Winter Savory in favorable conditions overwinters here too, one can start using it's leaves a bit earlier in Summer than in the case from Summer Savory. ; The Wikip., ao also mentions that in the medicinal uses, ao, in the treatment from 'bee stings', and of 'insect bites', the plant has “...stronger action than the closely related summer savory.” - Good to know - Along w. all the described garden fun, I also got bitten twicely by bees during this Summer. (Honey bees probably. Part that was due from my own too hasty 'tramping' around at the garden...Albeit, the first time was just during some for the very hottest days, on the mid-Summer...)

  ----------- 

 

And...'bout Mckenna ? Or, Jameson ? (The quotates, on above at this post...) ; Well...cons how, perhaps, odd 'combination' that makes... – I'm having to admit that an only reason for those quots was that I happened be reading from both the books around by a timing when also was originally writing the sections above.

...So them just, sort like, neatly for 'coincided'. Sort like.

...Of the Jameson, I've perhaps more particulars from say – Since, due she was a relative appreciated 1800ian (romantic) author at the time. (And therefore, I've from read a some 'plenty' on her, by formerly.) ; Often described w. terming like been a typical 'hack'-writer, during her own years (...wrote some amounts, the various books and on for the papers, but practically no fiction at all.) Also, an early art critic, often as well is to appeared an early feminist.

The book was relative widely read and seems still often praised in a present 'criticism'. By it's any type - a travelogue. Or as the 1800ian travel writing (on Canada). Guess, it not too much misses the point if I notice there some 'similitude' to Trollope's book on US, from the same 1830s.

; Although', it not to so much fx devotes itself on the describing her 'venturing' to across the 'then' “savage-wildernesses”. From across, at the time, of those vast 'untamed' forested lands. 

 

By the way, Jameson is not 'partial' critic on her remarks 'bout how the settler-communities treated those forests and woods. (When them were cleared away behalf buildings and other activity, the fields, ao, etc..) 

; While her remarks, on that, can be divided on some aesthetically expressed observations and enchantments 'bout the 'forest views' she passes by – And then on some briefer contemplates cons the 'fate' of those. (So, I think, as maybe usual to her...1800ian 'commitment', of the sort, those nowhere develop to very devoted environmentalistic writings – a'la, in any compare fx like the Thoreau's – But in differences to many her comparable similarly experienced travel writers, men mostly of course, she seems had the more romantical and less 'progressive' opinions on to that aspect. Although, those occasional 'critical' descripts make only few occasional passage, in all from.) ; And there's actually – like it's names says - the plentiest wrote on at her wintery literary/social 'study' wrote prior that journey. Such as examples, of what at the above quoted brief examples – of a part that discusses - Goethe. Her actual 'journey' then begins only in volume's second book .

Like most, many her similar better known contemporaries she fx writes often to quite skillfully – If you happen like from, appreciate, to that sort 'hack-writing'. There is, fx ,the long passages and much of a social commentary, ao. (Might become in some places bit tiresome – but all in all offered 'moral commentary', Jameson isn't anyhow boring – In fact, I did found her surprisingly modern, most part.)

; ...And some plenty else we could possibly add for this – but let those observations wait for to some better time. To some period when I might (,maybe) read more 'bout. ---------

; A brief passing note then further, on due that while I was reading (several) biographies on Margaret Fuller, I noted her (Jameson) from casually, characteristically been referred to an early (important) influence on Fuller's own travel-writes. (...ao. Ie, when she was by around 1840 travelling in the US's 'mid-West. Or “frontier”, as all the New Englanders, perhaps, liked to describe their made travel, 'holidays' to the West.) ; Cons her (Fuller's) biographers, I noted, ao, that at least Capper, Mason (2010...I guess?), and also I think, Murray (2008) as well (ie, those I'd read from), seemed for to mention of that Jameson's influence to Fuller - But then said not much else. Not really more develop that aspect (an 'influence').

If one then fx reads Fuller, the 'early years', one soon comes for notice that (that) Jamesonian writing actually might've just, very much, fuelled her own decision to that 'journey' – Maybe (?) even been among one significant inspirations to her for 'take to the road'. It's of course, quite usually noted 'bout those many 'resemblances' in the texts. ; ...There's fx those parts at Niagara (a commoner place from journey for tourists, of course...) And there's, she also goes for an 'adventuric sort' Indian canoeing trip, a 'ride' on the rapids at one place. ; And, of course then all those contemplates of the women's 'status'. In during the tribal 'anciety' (, the 'ethnographic historical' viewed ie means how then seen the imagined 'present' native societies – how those were considered an unchanged direct model to imaginations 'bout the more “barbaric” pasts, of times prior civilisation's 'emerge'.) – and that w. compares to her own 'pre'-Victorian euro-american society.

Also, I think (Fuller) also might've also 'adopted' much from Jameson to her writing. (Even so that some passages try for 'replicate', even for exceed the original 'impressions'.)

But that, why so little an observance of that, I noted, might've perhaps appear due that the issue migh've got from 'emptied' at the more early study. (Or maybe only in the some now more recent appeared. As I guess there must be a number those newer I've not too familiar for, as well. ; Goes with a mention that there amounts modern-day research for Fuller's part –Even several other biographies, in addit to above mentioned.) ---------

...Perhaps there a place a few remarks/referring for the Hawthorne's latter years disparaging opinions expressed on the Margaret's (Fuller's) character. ; Namely, while I've fx also noted that the aspect as well rather repeatedly, occasional seems mentioned at any studies, had not by former read thos original 'comments'. Happens then also that I also bit glanced for Hawthorne's diaries (the 'French and Italian Notebooks', ie his European travel-diary. It seems covering, was it from the years btw the 1840s to -50s ? About...)

So, of a said particular place small 'excert':

“[Rome, April 3^rd 1858] ...His developments about poor Margaret were very curious. He says that the Ossoli's family, though technically noble, is really of no rank whatever; ... Ossoli himself, to the best of his belief, was Margaret's servant, or had something to do with the care of her apartments. He was the handsomest man whom Mr. Mozier ever saw, but entriely ignorant even of his own language, scarcely able to read at all, destitute of manners; in short, half an idiot, and without any pretensions to be a gentleman. ...He could not possibly have had the least appreciation of Margaret, and the wonder is, what attraction she found in this boor, this man without intellectual spark - ... But she was a woman anxious to try all things, and fill up her experience in all directions; she had a strong and coarse nature, too, which she had done her utmost to refine, with infinite pains, but which of course could only be superficially changed. [and it still follows with...] ...She was a great humbug; of course with much talent, and much moral reality, or else she could not have been so great a humbug. But she had stuck herself full of borrowed qualities,... which had no root in her.” ; on 'The Portable Hawthorne' (Orig. 1932, but on 1948 ed.; p. 594-6.)

; ...From following to that, he goes on judging (basis acc. the Mozier's 'certain knowledge') that the famous 'lost manuscript' by Fuller's, known as the 'History of Roman Revolution', '...never had existence.' And that 'estimate' then also is followed by some quite lenghtysome, very typical sort '1800ian-stylish' lamentations. ; ...Incl. from the definitions for sort like: 'her clownish husband' ; 'There never was such a tragedy as her whole story; ' ; '...such an awful joke...' 

 

(Pic, beside) ; Crepax's view about the failure of a communist revolution, in Russia by the 1930s. Also of  that "Valentina's political education". ;  Esp., the coloration of Crepax's drawing – in b/w comic – succeeds make it to an expressive, amazing effective a picture.

 

...The Hawthornean “tragedy” thenafter reaches it's very height in a few last sentences, whom seem build a sentimental passage w. some 'tensions' established between the (mild) appraise for her (achieved) qualities, and the 'splendid' talent - while also carefully undermining all for that. ; Somehow, quite an achievement in all from it's high-minded effort to 'clean-up' the memory and anything else from that legend, the later overt 'worshipped' fate of the 'poor Margaret'. Sort like, tries to put all the broken 'marble pieces' of that back on to their proper places - into some correct 'order'. ; All in all, quite scornful 'characterization' that also, fx, seem appear the level (much) more stingy than a comparable, widely for a Fuller 'identified', 'auto-portraiture' on that Blithendale Romance. (Hawthorne's novel, I've forgot the year it published. But loosely based on experiences from living at the communal Brook Farm.)

Of course, the above selection from a diary...I'm even not too certain, not checked for, whether it only published after Hawthorne's death. (Or direct after his European stays, which feels more likely. And, if them originally in the several separate sequels') However, gave me some idea 'bout this...aspect. (Hawthorne's often later years known, or mentioned 'intolerance' towards for Fuller.) Most other early writers, whom known her did not quite share his 'distastes', which also apparent from what I'd read of the formation from that famous postafter 'legacy', then. But I already by the earlier posts mentioned 'bout their omissions and 'corrections', the editing Fuller's some texts.

Still, I think also from recalling...that on several (/some?) of those recent biographies the source that Hawthorne refers on, 'Mr. Mozier' said not for too reliable. (Acc to him, he also 'knew her well', but actually - did not. Or at least not very closely.) – On all I've read, anyway, it seemed emphasized how Hawthorne's 'opinion' much did reflect the era's more guarded social attitudes. From it's apparent manner, reliance to the keepin' guard of the strict class 'divide', ie basing on existed class barrier. Whose crossing wasn't very allowable – at least not, anyhow, to the women. Or maybe there even more precise explanations on it, all in all.

; His disparages, anyway becomes from very apparent in what on previous was cited. Hence there some amusement from presently read – Under it's literary 'vinjettes' and a sentimentalism the emphasizes are for quite common-place - conservative. (Quite the 'old-fashioned' a chauvinist.) ; (And maybe Fuller then was a bit too 'bent' for then emergent republican ideals, bad 'role model' from ravaging at the European continent by during those 'revolutionary years' in the continent. 1848 used to be, later often, and already by contemporaries called as the 'mad year in Europe'.)

; All the latter said, of course, asides from the original interest at this – the said 'Jamesonian' influences. But let that be. Only guessin' one might come by to the some more for it - if I happen to re-interest on any these views, pages any time again. ; But now I guess – better not for more 'bout, by now. --------

 

And, on Mckenna; Actually it then would be, very probably, wiser not to say much anything...this case.

...Since, due because I've in fact only read to this one book by his'. It seem for appeared by around the late from 1980s. Even not from read all of it, but from some separate 'essays' or speeches it seems enclosed together. ; Book has some very enchanting decorative pictures in the 'pure' 1980s post-modernist fashion. Albeit, maybe them date for bit earlier years. As the illustrator ('Satty', Wilfred Podriech) seemed said to had died on 1982.

Thenagain (and as I don't obviously need to enlenghten these 'explains' too much,) – it suffices for me only add that I find McKenna's views, certainly, from the intressant. Seems he was a rather quite unordinary thinker, just as he's often mentioned for. ; I'm less convinced on some parts that feel more like the 1980ian 'visionings' now. (On an era before, fx, the actual home computers, and powerful internet.)

; ...Besides he does make references to fx on some popular sources by that timing. (One amongst, fx, is by then apparently very 'popular' read, that mythologist 're-historizing' book, that 'The chalice and the blade'. And othersome he's mentioning there, too.) [Addit 12.9 ;] ...The 'popularising' historical here, by no means, as 'less worth' in it's any interesting ideas from. ; Only that I've not but glanced it of a few pages, from 'here and there'. ; ...In short, the author (Riane Eisler, that publ by 1987), fx, makes the assumptions that in a growth by hominid 'brain-case', the increase of the meats in human diets wasn't to near as important a reason. (...As from, then about it believed in contrary to what during the time was for believed, 'commonly'. – By the way, I wholeheartedly agree w. that [Eisler's] idea to... No obvious reasons assuming for anything too differing from about it, cons for that.)

; Then, there's fx claim that it originally been the women whom, 'by earliest', did invent the domestication from plants, and animals. ; And, hence, then some earliest deities – such as those on the antique later known by names as Demeter, Artemis – were first worshipped during the harvest season - and consecrated to the female deities. ; Obviously, sounds that neither not very unlike as such – fx think about the many mythologics, that known by the many elsew places, parts the world too... (By now having to quit my these explanates, impressions, quite abrupt.)  --------

 

But, as I actually myself interested on the McKenna's views mostly via after only had read 'bout them on that Sheldrake's recent book (2020) – It might just appear better instead to cite a few passages from that. As my intent, at this point at least, don't so far been but of - the more or less – in level by these fewsome reads about.

Or, let us say, the followed fx evoked on me more of an interest than all that lot what one reads by recently, in constant discoveries (and from 'rediscovered') 'bout those mind-altering plants, and 'fungi'. The potential in some plants of 'magic' properties. Along by the connection for the neural 'networks', with that now sometimes discussed newer emergence of the 'mind-altering' drugs. Or hallucinogens, to use the word now fallen, mostly, in less of a favor. Not quite perhaps without some obvious reasons (, that becomes clear when reading even 'bout a more traditional uses of the said sort plants, their medicinal and 'druggish' uses. Which, btw, not is to be confused w. the more addictive, and often more destructive narcotics.)

; Yet, one sometimes comes also for remarks on how even in the most traditional, shamanistic uses from the first mentioned, some to the 'experimenters' not always did recover from their 'trip'. (Ended up of overdosed, in other words.)

(Also, as my own interest always emerged more because of a greater multiplicity and 'variablity' in the plants, those surprising qualities many very common plants did feat, do contain – Therefore it not, of course, not emerged due by some having the hallucinogenic effects. ; Another way to say same being (that) my own any 'entrance' for to any these views never was, by it's origin, of the psychedelic – but instead, it began/develops, mainly, from via the ecologic origins.)

; McKenna's thinkin' seems, however, for had some good p-o-w fowhen noting that the ['Archaic Revival']; “...is the process of reawakening awareness of traditional attitudes toward nature, including plants and our relationship to them.” Can quite more agree to that, hence the passages citated on an above...

; Furthermore, then the UFOs - thinkin' he has rather good p-o-ws said about on that, too. (See the other quote, on previously.) Yet, I of course behold also the understanding that (that) idea, very prob., merely would lead the more 'common-place', rational thinkers to – flee. Despite that, on a closer look it for a quite enthusiastic metaphora, cons that 'topic'. Sort of 'turns around' the usual 'common-places' connected to all the such sort escatologist dreamings. Commercial some...and the entertaintive. (By the 1970s-80s it was still a period of some 'space-escapism', ideologically speakin - So all the sort connected to that previous described not to very much surprises me. No wonder then, also, that it by now seems again, by sometimes, seem wished for so much from of resurrected.)

...But, let's not observe more to that, on this end. As on above was promised, lastly this quoting;

“In Mckenna's view, human consumption of psilocybin mushrooms was an even more ancient phenomenon and lay at the root of human biological, cultural and spiritual evolution. Evidence of religion, complex social organisation, commerce and the earliest art arises within a relatively short period in human history around fifty to seventy thousand years ago. What triggered these developments is not known. [...although, such as on below is also referred to – present discoveries seem like possibly now increasingly from 'establishing' an amount interesting 'clues' cons of just that...] ...”

; “Cave paintings preserved by the dry heat of the Sahara Desert in southern Algeria provided McKenna with the most impressive evidence for ancient mushroom consumption. ... Language, poetry, ritual, and thought emerged from the darkness of the hominid mind.

There are many variations on the 'stoned ape' hypothesis but, as with most origin stories, it is difficult to prove either way. A rich bloom of speculation proliferates around psilocybin mushrooms wherever they are eaten. Surviving texts and artefacts are patchy, and almost always ambiguous. Does the Tassili painting represent a mushroom deity? It might. Then again, it might well not. The evidence from Neanderthal tooth plaque, the 'Iceman' and other well-preserved corpses provides proof that humans' knowledge of mushrooms as food and medicine stretches back many thousand of years. However, none of these bodies have been found with traces of psilocybin mushrooms. A number of primate species are know to seek out and consume mushrooms as food, ... [...matter a fact, an interesting noting here, that once I observed a squirrel seekin out' and carrying in it's mouth fungi, of garden – 'though it obviously was some here common species. Yet, I'd even eager for think it too would tell, smght, from an anciety of it...] ...Some suspect that ancient Eurasian populations used psilocybin mushrooms as part of religious ceremonies, the best known being the Eleusian Mysteries, secretive rites celebrated in ancient Greece... But once again there's no definitive record. And yet the absence of evidence does not provide evidence of absence. This makes speculation inevitable. And McKenna, ...was a master of the art.” ; (Entangled Life. How fungi make our Worlds, change our minds and shape our futures ; p. 112, 113.)

There follows much else then, fx there a brief 'walk-through' in form of the histories of the magic mushrooms 'introduction' for 'current' knowledges, from since the 1960s, at the modern world. Sheldrake combines in that of pretty various aspects, but a main interest in the book being the fungi – And what the little we actually assume to know about it. As species, and of their role in the (global) ecology. (That sense it much more...scientific readable in compare w. that McKenna.)

; For the speculation, one can also expand from all these ideas, as neatly, then from to asking the parallel philosophical question – what do we think from know 'bout - 'the reality' ?

; Suppose'...on that 'stoned ape-hypothesis' we only likely to return on some further 'chapters'. (On the prehistorics focused ones, at some later timing.)  ------ 

- Addit(s) ; [7.10.21] :

 

And....perhaps not as anything to the 'Leastly'...But certainly from to the Lastly are these fewsome Addits, still :

[Photo] ; On Autumn was it by this year, to a bit colder Sept. For change, as Autumn-colours already from nicely arriving – And here's then one photo from the Maples - at it's quite/near the best of colours. (On the open the trees seemed for quite rapid in changin' the 'attiree' now. Some that grow on much less open there is being found some green at the lower foliage still...)

 

; ...Acc. the Guardian (...again, on an article here), apparently, the 'Lab'-meats were now for the most  recent 'inaugurated' 'wet-dream' in the “soon” expected emergence from due their (future) consumeristic food markets. For (it) seen as  the some solutions – to that often noted expected food crisis – in view by many larger companies, that'd now wished to show themselves from concerned on an oncoming prospects by 'global' food economy, along w. it's increasingly more burdening ecological worries – to which then, those 'synthetic' products. 

In case, you'd then to believe for - on anything - from that 'story-plot'. 

(...As the most people, by instinct, tend only to detest even any idea 'bout some 'Lab'-foods – think I find the aspect here quite sufficient argumented by this mentioning.) 

 

[Photo] ; Related w. the foods & food markets: Here a one informative 'graph'. - Such as often said, the 'meats' being in the very top from the Climate-compromising (ie: -harming) industries. (Not too much to add on that. Or, finding it not necessary to add anything on to that...point of view.) ; The graph was picked of some tweet from the Extinction Rebellion's...

; Yet, I can't quite avoid citing a few lines that adress the often less acknowledged ethical problemas on such 'foods' from – If not by else reasons, then from personally having become only more assured 'bout that there's certainly the necessity in a more organic, and more ethical farming and foods production from being still further advanced.

(From 'instead' by all of that sort, those futuristic 'Lab'-foods, we're only meaning by this preceded...) 

 

; (Relating to...), The preceding, also recalled for mind, these (lately) seen news on about Amazon – Not the less for, as that (article) seemed, ao, to cite for Thoreau - often my favorite man among the ecologists - from once having wrote: “...that whenever he walked in the woods, he came out 'taller than the trees.' ”. (Or maybe that been, in a couple of occasions. Obviously that not the main issue for it. By the moment I exact can't recall of where place the said words.) 

 

But read that too – also cons that 'adjacent' (The graph, I mean.)

 

For, the article - the first from above linked, the one on the 'artificial' meats - also, fx, pays a few remarks on... that: 

 “...many companies current production techniques, including the ones Eat Just used for its Singaporean nuggets, use foetal bovine serum as a cell growth medium, which is harvested from the blood of cow foetuses during slaughter...”

 

(the double)...Yak! ; But you can, probably, also find more from about that, by nowadays. From the many other sources for, too. (If wished for...) --- 

 

[Photo] ; My Heliotropes, Heliotropium arborescens (var., 'Marine') – like was expected – all finally did flower. However, such as I former said from, none from very 'greatly'...or for plentysome. Like (also) said it mostly been from the aspect that I've not much any most sunshiny spots left in the garden-yard. ; Nevertheless, learnt some much 'bout the species – And would, probably, grow some again during by any oncoming Summers...

; The Red Clovers (Trifolium pratense), by this seasons sowed/planted, I've hardly mentioned at this post. Anyway, from being native plant those not at all demanding. – And so I've just added the several in a variety by some separate 'spots' in a garden. The bees concerning, that certainly not too insignificant an addition.

- I wonder what else(?) we would, by the coming years, find from having the preference for to those...(I-o-w; What the new arrivals are expected being seen visit Red Clovers/rest from the garden in a same. Enthusiasted for to see about that...)  ---

 

; Didn't much interest myself on anything about that on the Britain's (recent) food 'crisis'. (As, fx; '...one in six adults in Great Britain, have not been able to buy essential food items in the past two weeks...' ; and/or: 'Meanwhile, 15 per cent reported they had not been able to buy fuel for their vehicle during the fortnight...') - ...Sort like, as the 'every other day', or, by during the most troubling times or conditions on a many more distant 'regions' from. Or, the 'everyday' on some that earlier/formerly used for be described as for the least “developed” countries, and places of world. (,...eh?)

...But instead, from these lately newsed/and received as the recent “newsies”, we did discover another one – think that actually having to quite much for do w. many of the above presented p-o-w's, etc's. In short, cons all the current recurring failures, setbacks, in the economy, global agricultural “sector”, and of the 'production'. (Whatever goes by under the term, w. that last said meant for...) ; So, for an example amongst, here. (On, about the environmental disasters, in the plastics.)  ---

 

; And then another link we find at least interesting, relating to former noted aspects...Is this one: On a Nature's review. (Of a book by Simard.) Without too much any further estimates – It seems to be about the trees, hence the remarking. ; Ao, in the article it is explained: 

“...it takes a whole 'village' to raise a tree. Alders fix atmospheric nitrogen which can then be used by pines and other tree species. Older, deeper-rooted trees bring up water from lower in the soil to shallow-rooted plants. Carbon, water, nutrients and information about threats and conditions are shared across the fungal-root network. When Douglas firs are infested with western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis), they alert pines to which they are connected through the wood wide web, [...the term, I also noted, was in the repeated used by that Sheldrake too. (On some paragraphs above, see to those few selections...)] and these respond by producing defense enzymes. In the middle of all this activity are the mother trees. The oldest, largest and most experienced, they subsidize the growth and flourishing of seedlings all around - ...”

Indeed...there's, by presently, there's hardly anything more important to understand. Hardly anything from more crucially meaningful, important better understood - cons the humanity's major problema nowadays (/these climatic prospects). – Cons which the most crucially important is the fate of the future forests.
