Hey guys, I know this question gets asked a lot so I apologize in advance. But the title really says it all. I’m interest in working on field research and how plants interact with the environment and also some of the taxonomy stuff. Part of me is also interested in the more horticulture side of things like owning a plant nursery or being a plant grower of sorts. Any direct would be great!
I'm coming back to the game after a few years and botanists are making me remember why I stopped.
I usually play chef or bartender on a heavy rp server which generally means I need some amount of produce from hydroponics since the supplies in my vending machines won't last forever because I actually do my job. I'm always nice and polite and I go over there in person at the beginning of the shift to ask that they grow a couple of things that I know I'll need.
99% of the time they ignore me, send me nothing and spend the entire round breeding more and more potent strains of weed. This has happened in every round I've played in the past week and its so irritating.
Multiple departments can't do their job properly if you're too busy hacking vending machines because hurr weed funny and I get that everyone is entitled to have fun their way but that includes me too and having to leave my kitchen to beg for produce and meat crates from the quartermaster who may or may not actually get the things i ask for is the opposite of fun
seriously am I just being overly sensitive or is this genuinely a problem on other servers too?
Something I've noticed in the animal kingdom is that many unrelated groups of animals have evolved either total or partial sessility, or the inability to move freely in their environment. Examples would be barnacles, mussels or female scale bugs. What selective advantage is their to "forting up" and staying in one place for the organism's entire life?
Anyone know how thick the ice is on botany pond? Saw a table and chair on the pond and kinda wanna sit on it but I also don't want to die a watery death in the weird waters that is botany pond. Thanks :)
Edit: I successfully crossed the pond. Next goal: cross lake michigan
Questions regarding plant ID should go to r/whatplantisthis, people are more willing to id plants there. Questions regarding diseases or pests should go to r/plantclinic. Similarly gardening tips and tricks and the sort should go to r/Horticulture or r/gardening etc.
It's fine but it kinda dilutes the content for me
But i do not want the books to feel to much like Textbooks. If the books can be both educational while having some artistic flare that would be the ideal(for me) As i don’t intend to study either of these fields i do just want to gain new perspectives and creative impulses from reading things that i have never read before
Also, why all racetams seem to, all of a sudden, be disappearing from the web?
This all happened out of nowhere.
Orchids, or kids? Ork ids.
whats some thing you like
somethings you dont like
things you want added
thank you
Hello!
I have 10 postcards that feature older/vintage illustrations of various plant life. They look academic in nature. They are very cool for anyone who likes plants!
Please PM me your address, please include your first name and or initials.
Joey Santore (Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't) has posted one of his introductory classes on youtube. It covers floral morphology, taxonomy, and evolution. It's a great "low brow" introduction. He might use a lot of words that you don't understand but you can always pause the video to look them up.
Ever since seeing the one scene of everyone transplanting Mandrake root. I’ve wanted to see more of the secret world of botany. The woods that are used for wands and even medicinal uses to help cure other witches/wizards from wrongly casted spells. Watching the Fantastic Beast movies, I’ve just wanted more of the world. Even more about the creatures themselves. With how realistic this game is supposed to be on these “next-gen” consoles, I’m ready to experience MORE.
This is the outline for homework in the first-year course Arcano-Botany. It is aimed at a party of 4-5 first level characters and should take no longer than one session. I also included some alternatives if you want to run this with a higher level party.
How I run homework: My players have to hand in their homework in 4 different classes over the year - well, the fourth homework is actually a field trip. Each homework is graded and they can acquire a score between 0 and 100 for each homework. They fail the year if their average is below 70 at the end of the year.
The homework
Professor Valentin asked his course to brew a "Potion of Burrowing" - a potion that will turn your hands into the claws of a mole and grants you a burrowing speed of 20 feet for one minute. Valentin did not care to provide any instructions and he made it very clear that he will not suffer any excuses. Each character has to hand in their own potion. After some research at the library the characters learn that a Potion of Burrowing is brewed in two steps:
- Step 1: Brewing a Potion of Motion that requires Alcohol and a Stimulant
- Step 2: adding some Creature Essence aswell as milk of the poppy, a stone and some soil to the Potion of Motion
Acquiring the ingredients
The characters' first stop will most likely be the storage cabinet in the Laboratorium. However, they find the cabinet mostly empty... someone must have taken most of the ingredients. Everything that is left are:
- some milk of the poppy
- some cheap vodka that might serve as Alcohol (subtract 1d4 from the result of your brewing check when trying to brew the potion with the vodka)
- some blink dog nerves that might serve as a *Stimulant (*subtract 1d4 from the result of your brewing check when trying to brew the potion with the blink dog nerves)
A successful DC10 Nature check tells the characters that they may attempt to brew the Potion of Motion with these low quality ingredients, but it will be difficult. Urzmaktok Grojsh (Orc second-year Witherbloom student) works in the lab and can tell the characters that Grayson Wildemere and the Future Entrepreneurs of Strixhaven have actually bought most of the ingredients and new ones will arrive next week... well past the due date of the homework.
Cadoras Damellawar (Elf first-year student) is also in the lab and quite distressed since he tried brewing the potion with the vodka and the blink dog nerves and has failed miserabl

Hey its me back at it again with Genius Botany. For those who forgot, Genius Botany is the Capstone Boosted Botany skill from the Plants vs Zombies jump that allows one a vast amount of liberties while modifying and improving plants, rather than only having "beauty, toughness, or yield" options. That's... Very much a basic version of it.
So there are a few plants I noticed in Dragon Ball Z that seem extremely important to get my hands on immediately. Not just the Tree of Might this time either, I'm looking at Senzu Beans and Saibamen.
I don't need to explain how good an idea it is to modify Senzu Beans to grow faster or produce more beans for your buck, that's just making life easy. The treasure no one considers after the Saiyan saga is Saibamen, something powerful that you can just plant in the ground as a seed, and it'll come out within the minute as strong as Raditz with access to acid and self destruct. Since they are plant-based organisms born of a seed, I could possibly impart unusual and powerful effects into them while making them more powerful with each generation. Things like access to proper Ki blasts, or giving them enhanced intelligence and strategy, or even give them elements and magical effects that make it obnoxious to deal with them.
What do you all think? What should I graft into Saibamen DNA to make Dr. Gero rattle in his tin can and make Nappa proud?
