Beach peanut (Okenia hypogaea). They don’t make them any cuter than this. Super-sticky leaves accrete sand, and roots (even the lil peanuts) run deep. One of my favorites. #dunebuilder#resilience#coastal#beachlife#nyctaginaceae

Heading home to Miami after a great week in #PuertoRico w/ awesome #fern#conservation collaborators Lindsey, Jose, Octavio, Coralys & Omar. We monitored wild plants, did pilot plantings w/ rare ferns, retrieved envtl data, collected spores for #exsitu and had a lot of fun!
