On my big Nagano biking trip I picked up this Discocactus horstii, and just two days after bringing it home it put up these amazing flowers 🤩

My latest research paper has just been published! It covers the whole process of creating and publishing the Tradescantia cultivar checklist, and acts as the official publication of some of the names that hadn't been established yet. This is the conclusion of about four years of work, so I'm really proud that it's finally out there.
You can read it for free (open access) at: https://doi.org/10.21273/HORTSCI18749-25

The lovely family running http://www.seedfreaks.com.au are shutting up online sales for a couple years as of Oct 1st so that they can look after their toddler. So if you want some fantastic heirloom and heritage seeds, scoot over and order fast.

Can anyone identify this going-to-seed plant? (Photo taken August 2025 in Dublin, Ireland.)
Photo of the flower in context, at the edge of a mini meadow, among some tall grasses and next to a large mint plant which is in bloom.
Photo shows a close-up of a garden plant, with a red-ish stem about 1-2 metres tall, a wizened pink flower at the top, and (I think) seed pods with a pinkish hue at various points down the stem.

Okay, every time I try to use a web search I understand why so many people ask ChatGPT, but I would much rather #askFedi 😊 this one's mostly for gardeners: what are some good plant sources of phosphorus? Specific plants or specific parts of plants (the only things I found so far are new shoots and fruit, but I don't have tomatoes to give to the plants I'm trying to help grow tomatoes lol)
