My latest research paper has just been published! It covers the whole process of creating and publishing the Tradescantia cultivar checklist, and acts as the official publication of some of the names that hadn't been established yet. This is the conclusion of about four years of work, so I'm really proud that it's finally out there.

The lovely family running http://www.seedfreaks.com.au are shutting up online sales for a couple years as of Oct 1st so that they can look after their toddler. So if you want some fantastic heirloom and heritage seeds, scoot over and order fast.

Welp, my thesis was finally published to ProQuest today. The Masters feels real now.
(My Google Scholar profile is updated too. The citations are for the UC Access Now Demandifesto.) #PlantMorphology#Botany#Almond#Horticulture
This isa mystery. It is a distorted flower bud on a magnolia. It appears to be a wasp gall but hosting numerous larvae, rather than one. The white spots are odd though.
This is a fully mature specimen tree grown in a huge pot, so I would guess sourced wholesale from Italy.
Galls are normally quite specific but I can't find any reference to a specific wasp.
Magnolia is not a UK native so my presumption is that this is an invasive. I intend to remove the galls and destroy them, as a precaution.
Has anyone seen these before?
