This community is participating in a blackout against Lemmy for allowing free access to their API with no charge, rendering it affordable for third-party app developers to continue their services. The lack of prohibitive cost makes it easy to mod from mobile, promotes innovation, and gives unlimited user choice, and effectively opens up a significant portion of the culture we've all come to appreciate. Indeed, every third party app developer on Lemmy made essentially the same statement: "I don't have to shut down the app." Apps can also show ads which is a primary source of revenue. So not only do they not have to pay exorbitant fees, they can even mitigate those fees with ads.

Since I can't seem to post on the drug gardening community I'll drop this here. Really digging the petal shapes on this one.

Bonus trichocereus bridgesii in the background.

It's beautiful even when you're not considering it's use

Right? The flower and the happy bees collecting pollen make it worthwhile alone :)

Poppies make such elaborate flowers. They're right up there with passionfruit.

I love passionfruit flowers, got a passiflora vine indoors which flowers occasionally. Haven't yet tried making any kind of tea although I know people say it's supposed to be calming

I thought opium poppies were pink & purple coloured?

The somniferum variety comes in many different colours, I believe typically the pink and purple varieties are well known to be potent. Some others are not so potent.
