The flowering third stage, of the nine life cycle stages, of the Continane. As it floats through space it forms and reforms itself according to changes in climate that we don’t understand, sometimes classified as a plant and sometimes an animal. There is a theory that they do not die, forever changing into the next cycle, an infinite loop. But that begs the question, how did the loop begin? Anyway, it’s pretty, floating in the vastness of space, gently.

This is a photo of a plant. With a black background so it looks like it is floating in space. There is a stem, and there are lots of little stems. At the end of some of these stems are what could be platforms, or windows from a spaceship. But they look like triangles that are not flowers. I don’t know what they are, or what they are fore. But they are neat. Lots of tiny pretty little triangles on the ends of stalks.

This is a photo of a flower, or a bunch of flowers I should say. There is a thin green stalk straight up from the bottom. Then is forms into ten or so stalks radiating out. Then at the end of each green stalk is a bunch of tiny white flowers. There is a black background so it could be in space, and kinda looks like fireworks. But, anyway, it’s really in space, for the jubilee. I don’t know which jubilee. The same flowers but in a forest path with lots of greenery.

It’s amazing what people will do. Here’s a photo of Exoplanet 13562. It looks like an edible Earth fruit. But really, it’s an exoplanet missing its atmosphere. No one knows why the air disappeared, but billions of litres of water is frozen under the blue crust. The planet is bizarrely covered with Lazurite and ancient canals are visible to the naked eye. Someone with a sense of humor, photoshopped this planet to look like a plum. Adding stem and leaves and a little nub in the end. I’m all for a joke, but it’s wrong to say a photograph is something it’s not. People who post a photo and then make up some some crazy Sci-Fi story to go along with it, should be thrown in the stocks and have rotten tomatoes tossed at them. Actually bananas, have bananas tossed at them. I like bananas. Bananas are good.

-fi

This is a photo of a purple round fruit, a plum or a damson. It is a close view and the background is black so it could look like a planet, but I can’t be a planet because the fruit is hanging from a stem and surrounded by green leaves. The fruit is round and has random lines on the outside, almost like there were canals on this planet, or maybe there were tiny tiny tiny tiny snales walking on the outside of this fruit. But it’s a pretty photo because the fruit is in half light, like it’s lit only by a sun thousands of kilometers away.

Every three years the Viatepastus people of Exoplanet 09648 build these towers to protect and care for their larvae. These towers, which can reach 30 meters tall, can hold thousands of larvae. This is a photo of an abandoned tower, as they are only used once. The Viatepastus people keep everyone away from the tower when occupied. Not because of a religious belief, or ancient ritual, or even a sense of privacy, but because when they hatch, they tend to swarm and eat everything in sight, including tourists.

-fi

This is a photo of a plant. It’s probably a thistle or something like that. It is a detail of the plant, that is just the part that looks like perfect rows of tiny caves. I don’t know how else to describe it. Maybe tiny apartments that were open to the air and had little balconies that came to a point. You could also think of it as layer upon layer of roof tiles, with space in between so that something could live in them. That might be better. But it is a light brown colour and rhythmic and symmetrical and hypnotic and pretty.

In the murky still waters of Exoplanet 62436 floats the Duocrus. Scientists are still studying this creature to find out exactly what it eats, how it reproduces and where it sleeps. But we know that the numerous spots in the centre are light sensitive and the legs interlock with other Duocrus to make massive floating colonies.

A photo of a plant. Again, how do I describe this? Ok, there is a tiny round white centre, there are pot marks on the centre because this is where the pollen / seeds where attached and have now flown away. But there are numerous, eleven or twelve dark brown things attached to it coming out in all directions from the bottom. They look like rope, with the texture of braiding all along the ‘legs’. At the end each one has long white feelers or hairs. This is against a black background. So we are looking down on some sort of plant that has send out it’s seed. But it could be floating in a sea on a different planet. Maybe.

I’m waiting, patiently, to see what emerges out of these pods on Exoplanet 73525. One has already flown, so another must emerge soon. Here’s for not reading the travel book, not watching the videos, of having something as a surprise. To see something hatch, something emerge, something you have never seen before.

A photo of a flower. A detail photo of a flower that is still in the pod state. But not how you think. It looks like one flower, with the centre sitting there waiting for the petals that have not grown yet. That does not make any sense. But really it is a collection of purple and yellow pods all mushed together to make up the flower. A few of the pods on the outside have tiny purple petals growing out of the open pods, but really it is still not open. The middle looks like a collection of tennis balls, with the seam showing where they will open. Of the pods in the middle, there is one that has opened. Is showing the opened purple petals, which shows how the other pods are closed and how they will open. Could be seeds on a foreign planet. That is bad writing, I’ll have to work on that.

This plant is floating innocently through space. While it survives on minerals, it looks to be opening their jaws, with a little spark in the middle to lure in oblivious prey. But it’s all just this photograph, and the angle, and a trick of the light of the nearby sun. This is just a space plant, floating in vacuum, collecting dust to survive. No hidden monsters today.

This is the brown dead husk of a plant pod. It was once green and about the size of my big toe. It was once held together, in green and pleasant ways, but now that it is done it’s duty, (I’m assuming to spread it’s seed) then it has turned brown and the two halves of the pod are open. They are open in such a way that it looks like the jaws of a huge monster, and there is something hanging in the middle of the jaw, like some deep sea fish who uses a light to draw in their prey. The background is black so it could be in space.

On Exoplanet 82546 the Blatteus Beetle builds their nest to imitate the local Blatteus Bird. (not the best naming convention, but there you go) The Blattus Bird is seriously territorial and aggressive, attacking all who come near. Because other birds avoid the area, the beetle can rear their eggs and pupa in relative nest peace. I love this part: the beetle even goes so far as collecting white sticks and smearing purple moss on the sticks to give them the distinctive purple beak colour of the bird. How did this beetle evolve to do this? it’s just amazing.

-fi

This is a plant with a flower. Well, a sort of flower. An unopened flower. There is a round bulb, about the shape of a rugby ball, that is brown and covered in things that look like fake eyelashes. A whole bunch of symmectrical eyelashes attached to the outside of this round brown bulb. Then there is the beginning of a flower sticking out of the top. But the flower is bent over so it is pointing sideways. The petals of the flower are white and purple and long and thin. They have not opened, but are sticking out of the bulb and are all pointing in the same direction, in a clump. The way they are sitting, it looks like they could be a beak of a bird. It looks like it could be thrown together, rather than specifically made.

A photo of a plant. But it looks like the head of a man who is losing his hair. No, it does not look anything like that. The plant has a solid round centre, and off this centre are thirty or so white fronds that are thin and white and growing outwards. They are soft and floppy. In the middle, where they attach to the centre, they fade to green. Maybe one of those weird child’s play balls where there are tentacles coming out of the ball for some reason. Or a carnivorous plant.
