I had no idea this Devil's Trumpet (double purple datura) would get so large! The flowers are pretty, but I won't grow another one. Now I have to find all the seed pods and destroy them along with every other part of this highly toxic plant that came with no warning label.

This is written for the prompt “careless” from @drarrymicrofic
Word count: 197
Drarry microfic: poisonous
Cw: being poisoned
“I can’t believe you were that careless!” Draco exclaimed. He ran around the room, taking ingredients left and right and throwing them into his cauldron. “You know those plants are dangerous!”
Harry sighed from where he was sitting on the examination table. He had lost count of how many times he had been here. “I’ve been through worse.”
“You—” Draco turned around, his silver eyes ablaze. He pointed a long finger in Harry’s direction. “You are unbelievable.”
Harry huffed a laugh, a fond smile on his lips. He stood from the table and stumbled his way over to Draco. “I love you,” he said softly as he fell into Draco’s arms, ignoring the searing pain that shot up his back. “You’re amazing.”
“Oh, Merlin.” Draco sighed. “The poison must be spreading quicker than I thought when you’re spouting such nonsense.” He led Harry back to the examination table, making sure he was comfortable. “Hold on a little longer,” he continued. “The antidote is almost done.”
If Harry wasn’t currently fighting the side effects of the poison streaming through his veins, he would have thought he saw a deep blush on Draco cheeks when he turned back around.
Prompt from March 28th

The name “Tansy” comes from the Greek word “Athanasia” which means “immortality.” 
Tansy was thought to confer immortality, so it was used for embalming. It was also a “sign of war and death”

#1928 - Pieris japonica -Japanese Andromeda
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AKA Pearl Tree and Lily of the Valley Tree. The common names might make more sense if it was still in bloom.
Tumblr media
Not native to New Zealand - an introduced ornamental from eastern China, Taiwan, and Japan, where it grows in mountain forests with acid soils. Actually in the Heather family, despite its size, but the Rhododendrons and Azeleas are related and also grow in acidic mountain habitats. 
Quite poisonous, but not as notorious as the Rhododedrons and their infamous Mad Honey.

Pandora's box or death of oleander (poetry)
Tumblr media
An oleander...the blossoms of Demon
December 09, 2022,
Until that day, I was familiar with the walking course
The oleander trees had been felled.
Keep blooming white bewitching blossoms for a long time,
It was a giant tree.
As usual, looking across the road, that tree
It was gone without a trace.
Probably because it got in the way to make it a residence
The owner must have cut it
What a premature thing to do.
Because oleanders cannot be eaten boiled or roasted.
It's a poisonous plant. When burned, the poison turns into gas,
trying to compost
The poison remains and enters the crop.
The poison is cardiotoxic and deadly to animals.
This owner
He opened Pandora's box.
If it remains as it is, the evil that does not do evil,
He knew it and let it go.
Fool he is!

パンドラの箱 あるいはキョウチクトウの死(詩)
2022年12月09日、
その日まで散歩コースで馴染みだった
キョウチクトウの木が伐採されていた。
白い妖艶な花を、長期に渡って咲かせ続ける
巨木だった。
いつも通り、道の向こうを見渡すと、あの木が
跡形もない。
たぶん、宅地にするため邪魔になったので
持ち主が切ったのだろうが、
なんとも早まったことをするものだ。
だって、キョウチクトウは、
煮ても焼いても食えない、猛毒の植物だからだ。
燃やすと、毒がガスになる、
堆肥にしようにも毒がなかなか消えず、作物に入り込む。
この毒は心臓毒で、動物にとって致命的なのだ。
この持ち主は、
パンドラの箱を開けたのだ。
そのままなら、悪さをしない悪を、
それと知りつつ解放したのだ。
愚かな者だ、貴方は!

ETA: I wrote up a guide on clues that a foraging book was written by AI here!
[Original Tweet source here.]
[RANT AHEAD]
Okay, yeah. This is a very, very, very bad idea. I understand that there is a certain flavor of techbro who has ABSOLUTELY zero problem with this because "AI is the future, bro", and we're supposed to be reading their articles on how to use AI for side hustles and all that.
I get that ID apps have played into people's tendency to want quick and easy answers to everything (I'm not totally opposed to apps, but please read about how an app does not a Master Naturalist make.) But nature identification is serious stuff, ESPECIALLY when you are trying to identify whether something is safe to eat, handle, etc. You have to be absolutely, completely, 100000% sure of your ID, and then you ALSO have to absolutely verify that it is safely handled and consumed by humans.
As a foraging instructor, I cannot emphasize this enough. My classes, which are intended for a general audience, are very heavy on identification skills for this very reason. I have had (a small subsection of) students complain that I wasn't just spending 2-3 hours listing off bunches of edible plants and fungi, and honestly? They can complain all they want. I am doing MY due diligence to make very sure that the people who take my classes are prepared to go out and start identifying species and then figure out their edibility or lack thereof.
Because it isn't enough to be able to say "Oh, that's a dandelion, and I think this might be an oyster mushroom." It's also not enough to say "Well, such-and-such app says this is Queen Anne's lace and not poison hemlock." You HAVE to have incredibly keen observational skills. You HAVE to be patient enough to take thorough observations and run them through multiple forms of verification (field guides, websites, apps, other foragers/naturalists) to make sure you have a rock-solid identification. And then you ALSO have to be willing to read through multiple sources (NOT just Wikipedia) to determine whether that species is safely consumed by humans, and if so if it needs to be prepared in a particular way or if there are inedible/toxic parts that need to be removed.
AND--this phenomenon of AI-generated crapola emphasizes the fact that in addition to all of the above, you HAVE to have critical thinking skills when it comes to assessing your sources. Just because something is printed on a page doesn't mean it's true. You need to look at the quality of the information being presented. You need to look at the author's sources. You need to compare what this person is saying to other books and resources out there, and make sure there's a consensus.
You also need to look at the author themselves and make absolutely sure they are a real person. Find their website. Find their bio. Find their social media. Find any other manners in which they interact with the world, ESPECIALLY outside of the internet. Contact them. Ask questions. Don't be a jerk about it, because we're just people, but do at least make sure that a book you're interested in buying is by a real person. I guarantee you those of us who are serious about teaching this stuff and who are internet-savvy are going to make it very easy to find who we are (within reason), what we're doing, and why.
Because the OP in that Tweet is absolutely right--people are going to get seriously ill or dead if they try using AI-generated field guides. We have such a wealth of information, both on paper/pixels and in the brains of active, experienced foragers, that we can easily learn from the mistakes of people in the past who got poisoned, and avoid their fate. But it does mean that you MUST have the will and ability to be impeccably thorough in your research--and when in doubt, throw it out.
My inbox is always open. I'm easier caught via email than here, but I will answer. You can always ask me stuff about foraging, about nature identification, etc. And if there's a foraging instructor/author/etc. with a website, chances are they're also going to be more than willing to answer questions. I am happy to direct you to online groups on Facebook and elsewhere where you have a whole slew of people to compare notes with. I want people's foraging to be SAFE and FUN. And AI-generated books aren't the way to make that happen.

Floral Phantom
+ Because of his fight with Undergrowth, Danny abosorbed his plant powers, like he did with Votex. But Undergrowth had no problem with Danny having them, not like Vortex. + So. Danny has plant powers, just like Dani, who did learn it from Danny.
Dani once again destabilized, and Danny had the perfect idea how to help her!
++++ Danny visited an Arkham cell for a problem.
Danny:" So, Dr. Pamela Isley. I would like to have your DNA." Poison Ivy was angry:" What!" Danny opened his hand, and out of his hand, a plant started to sprout from it. As Ivy saw that, she looked at the boy and waited for what he wanted to say. Danny:" I need your DNA to stabilize a girl who has genetic problems." Pamela:" Genetic Problems?" Danny:"Well, Clone problems, and I think your DNA would help her. So are you okay with it?" Pamela:" Sure." Danny smiled and took her into the portal. ++ Undergrowth Realm. That was how Ivy was taken to this prehistoric place, just plants and all of them speak to her. Many extinct plants too, like the Cooksonia. And it was massive! Bigger then she thought possible. There she meet that massive Plant god, and the tiny girl in the tube. The boy left as he shows her the place, he has to go back being a hero.

Happy Birthday!
Tumblr media
To me :^)
Well, technically tomorrow 2 June, but I somehow finished this today.
I thought I'd have finished the Krang infection comic by now so I could have a happy birthday ending, but we're not there yet.
I uh never draw backgrounds or like to colour, but I love fully coloured pieces and well here we are. Trying my best to create something out of my comfort zone.
As a bday gift to myself I'm going to watch the new spiderverse tomorrow evening!
