Went to one of my favorite cafes yesterday, gave in and asked one of the waiters if I could get a piece of their orchid cactus. She was actually so happy about my interest and even asked me to give her updates about its progress. I absolutely love that place and its employees. And I love this leaf.4yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/proplifting
Samedi, aka The Squishy: the squishiest, loveliest rat you’ll get to know. He was abandoned in the city I live close to. He was severely emaciated, scared and dirty when I got him from the person who had found him. He soon turned out to be so lovely he became a little celebrity in the city.4yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/RATS
Got this huge echeveria leaf from one of my grandmother’s succulents. It’s been laying around for the past month since I couldn’t figure out where to put it. Within the last two or three days, while sitting on my bedside table, it just decided to shoot out some roots!4yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/proplifting
Mothman I’ve just finished! (It’s for a xmas gift, so I had to try and make it look non-creepy. Might’ve failed )1yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/cryptids

I’d normally come here for IDs, but this time I thought I’d show off my 1 month old mango plant. Third attempt growing it from seed, first success!4yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/plants

Went to one of my favorite restaurants last night and the kind waiter let me take a clipping of their stunning heart leaf philodendron. He actually wanted me to take more but I felt a bit guilty pruning that beauty. As if I didn’t love that place enough already.4yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/proplifting

My (tiny) African giant mantis, Callisto. Just had to share this beauty.6yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/mantids
Done skinning and mounting a full pelt for the first time. (This is one of my rats, who unfortunately passed away a few days ago due to pneumonia) I’ll later mount him on a velvet pillow. I was glad to find out skinning isn’t as hard a I had expected.6yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/Taxidermy
Wild flowers from a cafe I often go to. The owner, a kind old lady would like to know what they are. I didn’t take the picture myself and I’m not sure if the leaves are from the flowers or a decoration, seems like the first. Location is northern Italy4yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/whatsthisplant
Second time skinning and mounting a full piece. Cleaning out the brains on a parakeet that spent the last two years in a freezer wasn’t either easy or a pleasure, but I think the result isn’t too bad. Will be fixing the feathers that shedded once it’s dry.6yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/Taxidermy
This Kellogg’s calculator watch I got as a gift for a relative at a vintage/antiques’ fair doesn’t seem to exist anywhere. I’ve been told it’s from the late 1990s and it seems like it indeed. It doesn’t say where it’s been made, but the battery is a Toshiba’s, made in Japan. I know nothing else.4yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/HelpMeFind
I have a bit of a thing for this plant at my friend’s place. Can anyone ID it? And also I assume the yellow beans in my hand I got from its wilted flowers are its seeds? Is it the only way to propagate it?4yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/whatsthisplant
Can someone help me identify this tiny crystal? Looks like obsidian or smokey quartz to me, but I can't tell which one. (Found together with a mix of small semi precious stones I use for crafting.)6yr ⋅ thethreesailors ⋅ r/Crystals
