This is absolutely appalling & a hate crime! @CaiusCollege has a responsibility to take action and review its earlier regressive actions that have led to this & its impact on individuals, their own college community & wider society. And all during #LGBTHM22 I am sorry😢

8 seconds of Blossom - just because she is cute 🐰

Very excited to find a little pot of #lithops at a local nursery - maybe the start of a new hobby! The pot was unlabelled - @CactusSucculent members do you have any idea of what these species are likely to be? #bcss #succulents #cuteplants

Ivy (Hedera helix) are looking pretty atm with the flower buds positioned on sphere shaped umbels https://t.co/cCqsUdXRxA

Loving all shades of purple from largest to smallest - clematis, sweet peas and campanula #PlantTaskmaster @slcuplants

[Alison Bentley @AlisonRBentley]

My favourite colours in flower form for this weeks #PlantTaskmaster challenge @slcuplants. Not much of a size differential - does anyone have any "bigger" examples of #purpleflowers that they can share?

[Kathy Grube @KathyGrube]

The ox-eye daisies are attracting a few different insects #PlantTaskmaster ⁦@slcuplants⁩

[Kathy Grube @KathyGrube]

While scanning flowers for pollinators on my walk I spotted some moving black dots in the middle of these roses and on closer inspection found lots of tiny beetles having a collective feast. Who are these little feasters @dromius? #PlantTaskmaster 🐞🥀

[Kathy Grube @KathyGrube]

Bees love brambles! This bramble opposite my house is attracting a number of different pollinator species. Funny watching how they clamber over the stamens. The bumble bees fly between flowers with their tongue out ready to lap up the nectar! #PlantTaskMaster @slcuplants 😋🐝🌼

[Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) @slcuplants]

Task 1: Spot a pollinator. Record what pollinator you find in your garden, local park or along a street verge. Share on Twitter with #PlantTaskmaster & @slcuplants. Then at 3pm (BST) this Sunday chat with 2 plant scientists about your discoveries https://t.co/SGwLd1u2A1 🌺🐝🦋🪲

PS do I get extra points for discovering archegonia and antheridia growing together?

[Kathy Grube @KathyGrube]

This #Marchantia photography is addictive - I definitely want to look into a phone lens attachment @DavidJHoey @Phil_Carella @dromius

[Kathy Grube @KathyGrube]

@Phil_Carella This is awesome! Do you think will fit older phone models?

[Kathy Grube @KathyGrube]

If you live in #Cambridge and would like @camcitco to make a #hedgehog hole in your fence, please email [email protected] 🦔💕

Our hedgehog ornaments are shipped in a box packed in newspaper and hay. Why not keep the box and packing in a dry place? Great to have for an emergency in case you ever need to rescue a poorly #hedgehog! #plasticfree #reuse #charity https://t.co/z6KenqbXqT
