How do space plants grow? This experiment on the International Space Station hopes to find out. Space-grown plants look mostly normal, but have some distinct features compared to plants grown on Earth – most notably in the way their roots grow.
Roots evolved to grow “down” to search out nutrients and water, and on Earth, that response is predominantly governed by the force of gravity. But how does a plant know which way is down when there is no “down”? What determines the direction in which the plant’s roots should grow in space?
We are studying the molecular genetic signals that help guide plant growth in the novel environment of spaceflight, including how plants use new molecular “tools” to sense and respond to their environment when familiar signals are absent. What we learn could improve the way we grow plants in microgravity on future space missions, enabling crews to use plants for food and oxygen. This is just one of many petri plates filled with tiny plants from the Characterizing Arabidopsis Root Attractions-2 (CARA-2) that was recently harvest aboard the space station.

She learned to carry her softness like armor. Not as weakness, but as proof she made it through.

Under the ground...
Here are your handrails 😆
How to take 2 selfies at once
Out of the trees wild people stepped forth...
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

Tree
Sometimes I feel like a tree
A tree with little wings that rustle in the wind
I have taken to hating bird brains
Being paralyzed with tension there's nothing I can do when they shit on me
Sometimes I like the rain
I like the washing
It also quenches my thirst
And keeps me sane
I love the cooler air
That sways me,
Unrhythmically
Blowing through my hair
People don’t like rain when it fills up their shoes
I don’t have feet
But I have plenty of rings
And no one I’d like to choose
I dream of flying away
To find a whole new world
My roots are too big
I feel like a tree by the end of the day
Sometimes I feel hurt because of love that is young
What is the point of them carving into me?
Yet their love dies long before I ever will
And on some days I miss where they once swung
On those days I shed a little sap
Hoping new things will stick to my bark
Like a new swing or a new summer fling
On those days I don’t mind the bird crap
Sometimes I flunk
And grow more knots
And become more twisted
On those days I think that I’d prefer to be trunk
Sometimes I feel that I'm not fair to my roots
As they hold me,
I try to strangle myself with them
More than ever, the wise owls give me disapproved hoots
Sometimes I feel like a tree
As the giving tree, I have found limits to my giving
I only give up and never give down
I feel like a tree, stuck to the ground but growing up with reality
Love's Unseen Roots
In the garden of our love, we once grew free;
where your roots took hold deep inside of me.
But fate, unkind, veiled you from my eyes to see;
my heart, your grave, forever to be.
by Weltenasche.
Oooh.. I've never seen this Magritte painting before, but I love it. This would make a really cool tattoo.
