#herbarium — Public Fediverse posts

I’m happy to present the twelfth title in my series of e-books designed for English language learners (and everyone who enjoys a good short story).

This one contains a non-fiction story “My Herbarium” by Anne Wales Abbot (1808-1908), originally published in her collection of prose and poetry works entitled "Autumn Leaves."

The e-book contains two pages of vocabulary exercises, as well as notes throughout the text, to help you with the more complex C1/C2 vocabulary.

Museum30 Day 22 - ‘Orange'
Quite often, colours of #flowers fade when they dry. #Herbarium specimens therefore often look a bit disappointing. Some flowers, however, like this #Leonotis leonurus (wild #dagga) from #SouthAfrica keep their #colour well. The #orange is still amazingly bright in these two collections from the #NHMLondon are up to 250 years old. 😍😍😍
