“We can’t say we’ve solved this ‘abominable mystery’, but we can at least say that there really is one.”

What a great quote from @BillJBaker @KewScience @kewgardens on publication of the huge @paftol paper in @Nature https://t.co/fMnDrdcXaf

@gigi_rose They swapped the two w/o altering the designs, hence the weird entrances. Might be a myth, but sounds plausible!

@gigi_rose When I was at Cornell, I heard the original plan was Emerson nearer the road, Bradfield behind it. When they did the site survey, only the ground nearer the road could support the weight of Bradfield.

Such a great atmosphere @KewGardens today! Huge visitor excitement around the new giant water lily #Victoria boliviana described as new to science yesterday. All three species grown to perfection in one pool. It's unmissable! @Plantmessiah @palmsmithy @KewScience

When I’m feeling under the weather, this little guy’s shimmy always makes me smile and do a tiny little shimmy/wiggle too.

Roses aren’t normally my favorite flower, but the beauties at ⁦@kewgardens⁩ sure are working hard to convince me! The rose garden smells heavenly—wish I could share that with you all too!

[Mischa Olson @mischa_may]

@BotanistBriggs Thank you, and definitely will do!
