Incredible #fabaceae rainforest vine Mucuna bennettii ‘Flame of the Forest’ from New Guinea spotted at Kuranda #rainforestflora #biodiversity

@JacoLeRoux01 Spotting some balloon vine seed? 👍

My little field assistants were great today! #SoapberryBug hunting

@ANPlantC @SeedPartnership Fantastic! Congratulations Bob and very well deserved after many years of great work on myrtle rust

We’d love to share some photos of Bob. Makinson receiving the 2022 Australian Biosecurity Award in the Environmental Biosecurity Category. Congratulations Bob!

@ecotechnica Nice one 👍 the bush is looking good!

Feels great to be back out in northwest NSW surveying TECs after a long wait with La Nina. Vine thickets and Ooline still looking nice and green. Brigalow by contrast is very dry. #ozplants

From little things, big things grow. The population of coastal fontainea has leapt from 10 to more than 4,600 plants in 12 years. This is an example where ecological restoration work backed by science has given this species a much better chance of survival #SavingourSpecies

@berinmack @ooist7 @CES_UNSW Wow! Congratulations and such an excellent PhD project. Nice work!

Finally got that ticket and now taking doctor’s appointments for all social and professional engagements 😉 Massive thanks to my amazing supervisors David, @ooist7 and Tony, and @CES_UNSW 🙏

Peak summer flowering at beautiful Polblue swamp, Barrington Tops NP! Alpine Poa grasses and the Veined Double tail #orchid Diuris venosa. Sadly #invasive Scotch Broom still a major threat to this unique ecosystem. #ozplants #alpineflora #conservation #orchids

Hard to resist taking the classic #daintree rainforest pic of Licuala ramsayi ‘Qld fan Palm’ seen here at the Madja Boardwalk #rainforest #palms #wettropics #ozplants

Great work from the PlantBank Orchid conservation team Zoe and Jess for the #SavingOurSpecies program #AIBS @AustralianBG

🌱🚁 Yes, you read that right... it's tree planting by drone! @AirSeedTech are planting trees at the Garden, with some very clever drone technology. It's part of a @westsyduhie research trial with funding from @arc_gov_au. abc.net.au/news/2022-06-1…

A nice #thicktrunktuesday selection from the Blue Mountains! Turpentine, Deane’s Blue Gum and Angophora #eucalypts #myrtaceae

🌸 The rare pink flannel flower has arrived at the Garden! Learn about this mysterious plant and how the #RareBloomProject is helping to conserve them: bit.ly/366O2ka You can see them now in the Connections Garden 🌸 #BotanicaByAirwick @WWF_Australia @SeedPartnership

The National Herbarium of NSW begins an exciting new era at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan. Housed in a new state-of-the-art facility, the collection of over 1 million plant specimens underpins vital research and conservation efforts: bit.ly/3x51XCv

Great to be able to share achievements from our #Bushfire projects over the last couple of years! Congratulations to all our Partners and Associates for a monumental effort #APCC 🌱

To secure the iconic Pink Flannel Flower 🌷 under the #RareBloomProject, the @AustralianBG banked a whopping half a million seeds! They also completed germination testing and grew plants that are now thriving in a living collection. #BotanicByAirwick @WWF_Australia 📸 @seedygav

@SeedPartnership @AustralianBG @WWF_Australia @SeedyGav Great to see this project go from wild collected seed through to live plants in the ground @AustralianBG 👍

The amazing zen of the natural cushion plant ‘Japanese garden’ at Mount Doris #overlandtrack Tasmania. Natural design perfection! #alpineplants #ozplants #wildtasmania

It's the first time since the drought that Carissa spinarum has flowered so abundantly. The floral aroma is amazing! The Conkerberry was hit hard by the hot and dry conditions. Hoping for a great fruit collection in a return trip! #SavingOurSpecies #Conservation #PlantBank

@ecotechnica @ApsaraCat @AustralianBG @RBGSydney Wow! That’s an incredible native olive crop 👍

It's been a long 9 months since I was last out in the North West Slopes of NSW. The region has received plenty of rain and many plants have put on an abundance of fruits! A prime example being Notelaea microcarpa var microcarpa. #SavingOurSpecies #Conservation #PlantBank
