Got root?
I figured this spider plant would be a bit rootbound after 3 years in the same container, but I wasn't expecting _this_! Poor thing has been detangled some and potted up. Snipped off 9 babies and stuck them in the greenhouse while I was at it, to give away later in the year, because everyone needs more spider plants.

We saw this gorgeous Golden Orb Weaver while walking through the gardens. Massive creature. About the size of my closed fist. 👊
Such fancy leggings too.

The human aspects of the Ukrainian operation Spider's Web i find the most amazing, driving all those trucks through Russia, having drone operators on site (!), evading all checks and controls within Russia. Very likely a lot of bribing was involved, the extreme level of corruption makes Russia weak.

Continuing the mid-July #macrophotography sessions from our balconies in #Bochum, Germany, here is a neat but tiny spider: more pictures of the insects and the #spider in https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10230872107761144 - the pattern on the back of the latter's abdomen hints at it being a male Araneus diadematus, a European garden spider, as seen in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araneus_diadematus#/media/File:Araneus_diadematus._Male_-_Flickr_-_gailhampshire_(1).jpg
