Need more preparation for Botanical University Challenge #BUC2026 ? Think about rainforests. Not all are tropical. Some types are rare; where would you find temperate rainforest? Five suggestions on the picture but which is correct?

Leaves of deciduous trees change colour dramatically in autumn/fall. How? Why? Leaves contain coloured molecules needed for photosynthesis to capture light and power food supply to tree. Colder weather and shorter day length triggers changes. #BUC2025

A day early for #NationalMeadowsDay, but just look at this ancient wildflower meadow I stumbled upon in Staffordshire the other day! Grasslands should be full of life like this beauty, but often fall silent. Restoring them is vital if we want to see nature recover 🌱❤️

Around 70% Earth covered in sea. Some flowering plants live in it (e. g. Neptune grass, eel grass) and not easily seen. Others live at sea edges & disperse their seeds using it (e. g. coconuts, mangrove, sea beans). #SeedDispersal #BUC2025

Looks like scenery in Jurassic Park film, but is real temperate rainforest in Australia. Ferns and tree ferns. #BUC2025

A new study has explored how we can use competition and engagement to empower plant-aware students and prevent the "ticking time bomb" of botanical skills debt. The Botanical University Challenge is much more than just a contest (@BUCBotany). Read more bit.ly/3XtNzQw

For anyone who tried to identify the #GreatIrishGrassland plants in winter, here's a handy crib sheet from the ACRES booklet. Showing leaves from blades and simple leaves to more toothed and pinnate structures
