8:09 a.m.: These two lovelies are the flowers of Senecio rowleyanus, commonly known as string-of-pearls or string-of-beads. It is a creeping, perennial, succulent vine belonging to the family Asteraceae; the same family you'd find sunflowers and daisies in. The odd ball-shape of the leaves is an adaption to arid environments, allowing for water storage and the least amount of evaporation. I think it's neat this is in Asteraceae and not Cactaceae (because it's a succulent). #garden #gardening #gardencheck #rvlife #rvgarden #containergarden #pottedplants #succulent #succulentvine #senecio #seneciorowlayanus #stringofpearls #stringofbeads #mygarden #morningtime #morningcheck #sundaymorning #pnw #humboldtcounty #arcata #flowers #succulentflowers #asterflowers #themoreyouknow #fragrant #olloclip #macro #macroshot

7:53 a.m.: Slime molds never fail to attract the attention of gardeners and observant nature seekers. Slime molds normally live on or close to the soil surface where they feed on decaying organic matter. They move about in a manner more closely akin to animal than plant life, creeping along by forming finger-like projections. These projections pull the body of the slime mold across the soil surface 😍 This specimen is the first I have seen in my garden; I usually see them in a forested setting. Great morning start 😊 #garden #gardening #gardencheck #rvlife #rvgarden #containerbed #containergarden #slimemold #slimemolds #fungi #fungus #fungusamongus #microfungi #primitive #primitivefungi #myxomycete #mxyomycetes #fuligo #fuligosepica #dogsvomit #sundaymorning #moreanimalthanplant #humboldtcounty #humboldt #arcata #pnw
