She literally wrote the textbook on Californian seaweed and 🧵

  2. i recently repotted my peace lily. looking at her leaves, I get the impression that any of them might be capable of harboring a flowering body and, in turn, becoming a spathe. the leaf in the closeup looks like it changed its mind at the last minute and decided to just be a regular leaf. also, peace lilies are hermaphrodites; having both male and female tendencies.

    i don't know if there's already an official house plant of the #lgbtqia community, but my vote would be for Spathiphyllum.

  4. A #botanist searches for the #seeds of the rare #DeathValleySage

    April 2, 2026

    "For more than 15 years, botanist Naomi Fraga of the #CaliforniaBotanicGarden has been trying to collect seeds from the rare Death Valley sage, for safekeeping in a vault of native California seeds. Each time, she's come home empty handed. But this year, with the desert in the midst of a big bloom, she's trying again.

    " 'It's a little bit of a gamble,' she says. 'But, you know, the plant's having a really good year. I feel hopeful.' "

  9. Passed this gorgeous #mushroom — perhaps? — on my hike today. I’m no #mycologist or #botanist but would love to know the name of this #plant or #fungus.

  13. William is currently trying to untangle the taxonomy of the many species of dandelion we have in NZ, which is not known. There are many of them.

    That's after he's been working with botanist David Glenny to figure out how many blackberry species are in NZ (also a lot more than expected).

    He does all this in his spare time for fun.

    The magazine Avenues profiled William in the Humans of Ōtautahi section of the September 2024 issue.

  15. Did you know that despite its name - #JapaneseAnemone - that this pretty #perennial #plant isn't actually from Japan?
    It was introduced there, hundreds of years ago & became naturalized. It is actually native to China, #Taiwan#Vietnam.
    It's been cultivated in gardens, worldwide.

    Hundreds of years ago, a form of E. hupehensis with smaller, semi-double flowers & pink sepals escaped cultivation and spread across #China to #Japan & #Korea. After finding this form in a #Shanghai graveyard in 1843, the plant explorer/ #botanist Robert Fortune sent it home to England where it became known as E. japonica, the Japanese anemone. European #horticulturists crossed the Japanese anemone with E. vitifolia to produce #cultivars of the artificial hybrid E. × hybrida.

  18. YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1827:
    "Started very early and breakfasted at the Grande Batture, where we found the horses that had been sent from #Jasper's House for us. There were 14, enough for all hands, so that all were mounted. Sent Michel and Bte. McKay ahead to Jasper's House to have the boat gummed. Mr. Joseph Burke #Botanist also accompanied them. I then went on with the remainder of the party leaving the 4 men and the Indians, whom we brought from... #HistoricJourney #AmWritingHistory

    That's a great #PavementPlant with added #Mosstodon content - lovely photo ;)
