Despite the diversity of flower shapes and shades, all these magnolias photographed at Batsford Arboretum @batsforda belong to the same “species” known as Magnolia x soulangeana. The variety can be explained by the “x” in the scientific name, which indicates it is a hybrid.

Pumpkins and winter squash are renowned for their long "shelf life". My harvest has lasted 7 months in storage, and they're still good to eat!

The Forsythia genus includes 11 species with one species found in South-Eastern Europe and the rest native to China, Japan, and Korea. The most common Forsythia in European and American gardens is the hybrid Forsythia x intermedia. #forsythia #flowers #botany #plantidentification

Happy Earth Day, fellow plant lovers! We can make every day Earth Day in our daily lives. I reuse plastic items like labels / pots, reduce the use of unnecessary gimmicky garden supplies, and recycle kitchen and garden waste into compost. #earthday #sustainable #jungle #nature

A long forgotten botanical discovery has been found today - pansies with markings resembling facial expressions! This watercolour from the 1820's shows the lost variety in good versus poor growth conditions... April Fools! #flowers #aprilfools #pansies #watercolour
