Volume 26 has just been published! Particularly enjoyed the foreword: “Gem gives a different photographic perspective on the Herbaria as she uncovers some of the achievements of women ‘lost’ among the cupboards.” More here: https://t.co/VURoDjKaiJ #womeninbotany #hiddenhistories

[Butterfly Conservation 🦋 @savebutterflies]

This #MothMonday we're putting the spotlight on the striking Cinnabar (Tyria jacobaeae) 🤩

This common and well distributed day-flying moth is often mistaken for a butterfly because of its vibrant red and black markings.

Finally, Sword-leaved Helleborine, Stroud Commons. Double figure count but only just caught in time last week as many plants had already peaked. Stunning white brilliance, 1000w bulbs shining brightly within the dark understorey #GlosOrchids @ukorchids @BSBIbotany #wildflowerhour

#Oxford, are you heading to the river for a dip or a paddle? Check out the new Oxford Rivers Portal: https://t.co/Fote36xEDw! All the up-to-date #river info you need in one handy map: water levels, recent sewage spills, bacteria levels at Port Meadow and much more. 🧵1/6

If your garden is anything like mine, it's currently full of sticky willy, with its tiny white flowers. But how does this plant get its stickiness? Check out our archive thread. 👇

[Bat Conservation Trust @_BCT_]

Wonderful work by @RSPCAEastWinch

For anyone who finds a grounded or injured bat or a bat that has not moved from a very exposed position, please follow the advice available from our website https://t.co/ccb75CIZBB

@Naturalcalendar I watched the council spraying along hedgerows, walls and gardens in my village the other day too. Devastating. 😔

[Gem Toes-Crichton @gemblina]

@LGuillardin Remember; nobody knows more about your research project than you. Your examiners agreed to meet you because they're interested in your research and want to discuss it with you. Be proud of all you've achieved so far, and enjoy the conversation if you can. Almost there! Brava! 🙌🏻

[Sylvatica @Botany2021]

This is the flower of the tiny (less than 1cm across) Bog Stitchwort, found in a damp disused pasture field near Wadebridge today. If you find tiny white flowers, look for a square stem which this species has.

[Journal of Art in Society @artinsociety]

Over 100 species of flowers have been identified scattered at the feet of Flora and Venus in Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera (1482, at bottom right) ~ suggesting that he took considerable interest in making these depictions of the natural world as realistic as possible
