What an absolutely fantastic botanical gif!

Vetches and passion flowers have modified some of their leaves and converted them into tendrils. These grope around in space until they touch the stem of another plant and swiftly coil around it. The tendrils then coil and pull the plant up towards the sunlight.

Carving the Fourth Heaviest Pumpkin in the World

how do you make a gif

Ray Villafane begins carving the fourth-heaviest pumpkin in the world, a 1,693 pounder grown by Brant and Eleanor Bordsen in Marysville, Calif.

Villafane will be at the Garden Saturday and Sunday, October 21-22 crafting a seriously scary sculpture of zombies hatching out of a pumpkin-egg. The sculpture will feature zombies made from the Bordsen’s pumpkin and the world-record holding gourd, grown by Kelsey and Jim Bryson of Ormstown, Quebec will become the world’s creepiest egg! Come be part of the spooky fun!
