Volume 26 has just been published! Particularly enjoyed the foreword: “Gem gives a different photographic perspective on the Herbaria as she uncovers some of the achievements of women ‘lost’ among the cupboards.” More here: bit.ly/39DJIpU #womeninbotany #hiddenhistories

RIP. Sad but inevitable news. I drove past this morning and the grubby KX100 with decade old Danone advert outside the Oxford in Redruth is now no more. Polaroid from roughly this time last year when it was still in working order though too gross for pleasant conversation.

This #MothMonday we're putting the spotlight on the striking Cinnabar (Tyria jacobaeae) 🤩 This common and well distributed day-flying moth is often mistaken for a butterfly because of its vibrant red and black markings. 📷: Iain H Leach, Bob Eade, Nigel Symington #MothsMatter

Finally, Sword-leaved Helleborine, Stroud Commons. Double figure count but only just caught in time last week as many plants had already peaked. Stunning white brilliance, 1000w bulbs shining brightly within the dark understorey #GlosOrchids @ukorchids @BSBIbotany #wildflowerhour

Noticing Nature: the British microseason project
If your garden is anything like mine, it's currently full of sticky willy, with its tiny white flowers. But how does this plant get its stickiness? Check out our archive thread. 👇

Hands up who spent their childhood chasing other kids around with cleavers (aka goosegrass, aka Galium aparine) sticking it to their jumpers? But where does this plant get its stickiness? It's actually REALLY clever. 🧵 below

@Naturalcalendar I watched the council spraying along hedgerows, walls and gardens in my village the other day too. Devastating. 😔

Noticing Nature: the British microseason project
This makes me sad. A week ago, this was filled with flowers. Nothing rare, but Valerian, herb robert, Oxford ragwort, chickweed, mouseear were all smiling. Now it's been sprayed with weedkiller. Result: a desolate, ugly mess. Let's celebrate our pavement weeds this weekend.

@LGuillardin Remember; nobody knows more about your research project than you. Your examiners agreed to meet you because they're interested in your research and want to discuss it with you. Be proud of all you've achieved so far, and enjoy the conversation if you can. Almost there! Brava! 🙌🏻

This is the flower of the tiny (less than 1cm across) Bog Stitchwort, found in a damp disused pasture field near Wadebridge today. If you find tiny white flowers, look for a square stem which this species has. Stellaria alsine for #WildflowerHour

Over 100 species of flowers have been identified scattered at the feet of Flora and Venus in Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera (1482, at bottom right) ~ suggesting that he took considerable interest in making these depictions of the natural world as realistic as possible
