One of Britain's rarest flowers! Drooping saxifrage (Saxifraga cernua) only reproduces in Scotland via bulbils and very seldom blooms. Flowering last recorded at #NTSBenLawers in '06 and just a couple of times since the 80s. Took 4 visits to see this flower opened #wildflowerhour
Start of a few days of fieldwork in the biodiverse humid forests of Madagascar with an international team of #grass and #Cyperaceae botanists @TeamKMCC @KewAfrica
Anguloa clowesii grows in forests of the Andes in Venezuela and Colombia. It’s on display in the Montane Tropics house @TheBotanics #RBGEhort. Glowing in the afternoon light & smelling wonderfully of wintergreen, it’s a thing of beauty!
We were honoured this weekend to have access to @RAF_Valley. We found some pretty special things such as Trifolium scabrum (photo by AFG member Ivor) & a great section of coastal heath that has remained untouched for over 100 years. - it was a bit strange botanising the runways!
Bbz @Clicks_SA , i see some of your branches are trying, with paper bags instead of plastic for the epic 20 second journey to the till 👌🏽. Now can we get a biodegradable alternative to the single plastic use cable tie asseblief?
After this session of #PlantBio19 our editor @JenniferMach2 will be scanning badges at the Women in Plant Biology luncheon in room 230B. Ask her about editing and science writing!
