We had an exciting day with @ywprep … they learned sterile techniques for propagating orchids, toured the Science Village labs and learned about seed banking, and walked through the rainforest, which houses a large number of native orchids.

Cyrtopodium macrobulbon is putting on a show @fairchildgarden. This Brazilian #orchid is often confused for our Florida native, Cyrtopodium punctatum. You can distinguish these two cow-horn orchids because C. macrobulbon has a burgundy red flower stalk and larger pseudobulbs.

Prosthechea cochleata, the #endangered clamshell #orchid, is found in #Florida’s cypress swamps and hammocks…blooming @LawtonChilesMS!

This is absolutely #stunning! I didn't think much about #seeds until I volunteered in a lab at UofT Forestry sorting seeds. It was incredible how each species was different!

@science_irl My computer stopped working. Obviously🙄. So I ran around and was so grateful I had a few hours to secure a backup. I hope this doesn't happen to you!

@mellamosummer Lots of great things in this thread but don’t forget that any museum job will have outreach! So look for outreach/scicomm opportunities, @PhippsNews has a great Botany in Action Fellowship.
