I colonised Bouvet Island with Hybrids of Myosotis macrantha & Myosotis pulvinaris I will Baptise in the Name of God called Myosotis × insularis, to be pollinated by introduced Ichneutica cuneata from New Zealand.
>>539310640Are you the cenote fish dude?
The ancestors of Myosotis × insularis.
>>539310736Yes.
>>539310831Good threads dude, got me reading about fish.
>>539310945Ah thank you! Do Plants pique your interest?
>>539312168I have been reading about plant toxicology, the banned books if you know what I mean.
>>539312264That's a rather unusual coincidence. Were you in the Datura thread?
>>539312435Nope.
>>539313018Well, there was a thread. I find it sad people won't appreciate plants any more for what they are instead of mere things to be eaten or smoked.
>>539314035>eaten or smokedIf only people would research those areas that'd be something.
>>539314406I just mean in the days of old when breeding different plants to get new varieties for aesthetic purposes was a thing, plant breeding today is purely utilitarian now. As if everyone lost their eye for the art of life.
>>539314616You are my favourite autist on 4chan and I will make an Ark to fill with NZ flora to send to you for your venture.
>>539314616I'm thinking invasion species that will spread fast and never go away, like carp in AUS but for plants.
>>539314826Much thank you. Only three species needed, Myosotis macrantha, Myosotis pulvinaris & Ichneutica cuneata the Moth which will act as a pollinator.
>>539315092A lot of things we take for granted are indeed hybrids, Oranges, Domesticated Roses and Cavendish Bananas, I think Myosotis × insularis will be a specialist on the coastal rocks of the island.
>>539315482No, I meant a plant that will invade and be everywhere and take over, highly resilient, then the local man would be at war and it'd be a spectacle.
>>539315661We now have Japanese Knotweed. Not very picturesque.
>>539315661Didn't Russia already accomplish that with that nasty fucking weed they imported to feed cattle?
>>539316133Sosnowsky's hogweed, or "Stalin's Revenge".
>The Toxic Flaw: The plant's sap contains phototoxic chemicals (furanocoumarins) that cause severe chemical burns and blistering when exposed to sunlight.This is the sort of thing you'd THINK the Reds would have looked out for, "acid blood".
>>539315992>>539316133Something like Couch Grass or Knotgrass.
>>539316133>>539316178>>539316276Apparently it was a Soviet Botanist's Hare brained idea of feed for livestock. Probably was exported by Soviets after learning of this property.
