Late-blooming Crinum ‘Infusion’ on a misty moisty morning. Flowers are enormous, highly fragrant, and apparently delicious if you are a hungry katydid. 🌱
Finding an undescribed species in your living room is pretty much every natural history nerd’s dream.
This is such a fun story! An ecologist in Wales found a striking moth flitting around her living room. After posting a picture of it on instagram, someone realised it was super unusual and it turned out they were right - it's a new species native to Guyana 😅🧪🦋 www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...
During my first week of university, I met a smart, gorgeous, and fascinating girl. We were friends for four years as undergrads, then dated for six years (mostly long distance, grad schools and jobs in different states), and then engaged for one year. This month we celebrate 25 years of marriage. ❤️
My watercolor painting of Nepenthes ampullaria, a small species of pitcher plant that is part "vegetarian", feeding on plant matter that falls into its pitcher. #SciArt🐡#Botany#BotanicalArt
Native Conoclinium coelestinum, blue mistflower. Source of minor marital discord as it spreads enthusiastically through the garden. I think it ties together different areas. My wife doesn’t like the fuzzy flowers and thinks it looks messy. She surreptitiously weeds it out when I’m not looking! 🌱
