Summer Solstice, 6/20/2020 [KT]Happy Summer Solstice! Be on the lookout for revelers. And welcome to the Gardening and Puttering Thread! Did you know that there is also an annular solar eclipse today? You can watch a live, virtual version of the eclipse right from your phone or computer. The scientific consensus is that this does not mean the world will end today. Other predictions, like the Mayan one, are briefly described at the link. The Trumpet Lily above and the lily below were sent in by 40 miles north. The lily below is from a different species (or maybe it is a hybrid). An Asiatic Lily, in any case. Science After our Japanese Maple feature last week, Gordon sent in a piece about a Minnesota-hardy Japanese Maple that was discovered in someone's yard. It has weeping branches. Here's a link to a story about a cold-hardy version that created itself. . . Gordon knows lotsa stuff. I'm not sure if Gordon means Swiss wild hay, but cows are a big cultural thing in Switzerland. Video and photos at the link. The real Swiss supermen Here's a shorter video: Now you know how to be a Swiss Superman. Wanna give it a try in a vacant lot near you? Critters BeckoningChasm sent in the following photo of a spit-bug: I used to see these all the time when I was a kid. They're insects that secrete a web of bubbles around themselves. Actually, according to Wikipedia, the spit is formed by the larval form. When they're adults, they're leaf-hoppers. Leaf-hoppers jump so fast it almost looks like they've teleported. And here are some shots of bees from a member of the Niece Network in Washington State. Recognize the flowers?
Got my first tomatoes yesterday, from over-wintered plants. We haven't tasted them yet, but they look good. Kinda small, for beefsteak types. BeckoningChasm sent in some flower photos: I think people mostly hate mimosas (mimosae?) because the flowers make a big mess when they fall, but when the light hits them they look pretty spectacular.
