100 year old rhododendron and the woman who planted it
Yes, it looks pretty. But growth like this is why parts of the Irish countryside are now both inaccessible and denuded of their native flora and flora-dependent wildlife.
Crowds out native plants, forming dense monoculture (Barron, 2007) and impacts on community level processes in streams and rivers where it is present (Hladyz et al., 2011). May produce alleopathic chemicals, preventing native species from growing in soil in which it is present (Hulme, 2009). Hosts a fellow invasive species Phytophthora ramorum (Sudden oak death) which can affect a number of tree species (though not Oak) (Brennan et al., 2008). Control costs in the UK cost ~£560 per ha in 2001 (Dehnen-Schmutz et al., 2004). Honey from bees collecting pollen from Rhododendron may be toxic to humans (Hulme, 2009).
Rhododendron ponticum is the Irish take on kudzu. :/

REMINDER: the part of a comb jelly that looks like a mouth is in fact a mouth
Turns out I do need to clarify that these particular comb jellies are actually not filter feeders :)
these are also the true actual first animal group that’s ever thought to have existed; comb jellies or ctenophores are survivors from the *ediacaran,* the point in time where we can’t even guess what kind of animal most of the fossils are. But, maybe all of them were just wacky shaped comb jellies???? we will never know. this one ate them all.

Some computer related jobs will periodically send you emails posing as phishing scams and if you open it you automatically have to take a web safety training seminar and I just think they should do that for tumblr except with reading comprehension
