I was bored of growing orchids in gardens or nurseries, so I decided to plant them in nature, on rocks and trees. This is how they are doing now. It turned out to be a success, and I am planning to plant more and different species in the future.

I'm giving a brief talk on the history and renovation of The Linn at this event at Cambo House on the 19th March, if anyone fancies coming along. https://t.co/Stc3SSWxxt

This fern, #Tmesipteris ovata, is remarkable, not because it is epiphytic and grows on other tree ferns, but because it belongs to a genus known to have the largest genomes of any organisms on earth.

🌴A critically endangered palm, Tahina spectabilis, has travelled from CUBG to be the rarest plant in the @EdenProject's Rainforest Biome. Known as the ‘Suicide Palm’ for its unique lifecycle of flowering itself to death, it's been relocated so it can grow to its full size. [1/5]

Durians in flower…large red flowers of Durio kutejensis (Hassk.) Becc. bursting out of the branches. Beautiful but giving off a somewhat stale durian smell. Opposite the iconic Bandstand at Singapore Botanic Gardens #durian @nparksbuzz

It's funny how I've never noticed this Anthurium salgarense. It's been @TheBotanics since 1968. Guess I don't look up enough!!

Amur Cork Bark Tree is considered invasive in parts of North America but Phellodendron amurense var. lavallei with the Kibble as the back drop looks stunning in Glasgow @GlasgowBotanic

At first light this morning, our Arid House was filled with night-flowering cactus flowers the size of dinner plates. In just an hour they'll be over - but what a privilege to have seen them ❤️

[Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh @TheBotanics]

💚💪 Time for Scotland to weigh in on the action!

We take on the #WaterlilyWeighOff24, as challenged by @denverbotanic. With a very Scottish twist up our sleeves (we're looking at you @irnbru) and a guest appearance from Marley, the Botanics cat, do we have what it takes to win?

Some wonderful footage of what my wild siblings look like! 😄

[Titan Arum Edinburgh @TitanArumRBGE]

I've more than doubled in size in just one week! Though apparently I'm not growing as fast as in previous years - can you blame me? In this weather I just want to stay tucked under my compost 😭🌧️😭🌧️😭

Please meet the head of my newest (and tiniest) minion division: Adi the jumping spider. The 'Jump Team' are in charge of clearing the fungus gnats from my nice new compost! 🕷️🪰

What's that coming over the pot is it a monster? Is it a monster~🎶

I'm just about able to peek over my pot - all the better to keep an eye on what's happening. Seems a bit quiet though - where are all my adoring fans? 😭
