Todays plant is in honour of Angus Lunn who died yesterday. Angus made a huge contribution to the understanding of Northumberland's ecology, and single-handedly demonstrated the importance of the border mires and inspired their restoration. Look him up, that's only a part of his important work and achievements.
So here's an indistinct photo of a very important tree, one of the Williams Cleugh Scots Pines. (see reply for more info)

Can anyone identify this going-to-seed plant? (Photo taken August 2025 in Dublin, Ireland.)

Welp, my thesis was finally published to ProQuest today. The Masters feels real now.

Where are my #SciArt folks? The Wild Wonder Foundation has been hosting daily nature journalling prompts all year, and the August list is all #botany themed.

Dandelions are common as muck. Right? Well not really. There are 250ish species of dandelion in the UK, and this one is probably the rarest plant I've seen. It's the St Kildan Dandelion (Taraxicum pankhurstium) It's found only on St Kilda. It's also the easiest to identify, because it's the only species of dandelion on St Kilda. It's closely related to Icelandic species.

Four finds from #Dartmoor at the start of the week, all of which I've seen there before. Lesser Skullcap, Marsh St John's Wort, Bog Pimpernel and Creeping Forgetmenot. #WildflowerHour#Devon#Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

New horrors. The Biodiversity Heritage Library needs help. The Smithsonian Institution will end its support as of 1 Jan 2026.
This is the world's largest open-source archive for biodiversity literature and archives -- the place where you can find all the old, but still very useful, botanical literature, among other things.
Please share widely with your networks. #biodiversity#Archives #defendresearch #botany
