The panel was @Botanygeek, @plantmadman & @JulietSargeant with @PeterGWeather in the chair. It's an amazing show seen live!

@BotanyKaren @BotanyRNG While emailing last week, Alastair wrote that there are so many great #BotanyBooks to suggest, that we could resume this for #AdventBotany in future years, with a broader group of contributors. It would be wonderful if you might consider sharing some of your faves 📚.

Another week, another advance in the #herbarium move. #Linnaeus and #HerbariumBarbie have just finished moving Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) and Linnaeus is explaining that nine families each have two current family names. Do you know the nine?

In Lewes today - some very nicely framed seaweed by Peta King. These would look good in @RNGherb! Sadly a bit beyond the herbarium budget 🛒

@BearDublin @BotanyRNG @GuyBarter @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci @RNGherb @BUCBotany @DrSueMoss @PlantTeaching @janeperrone You need to be a bee to detect much scent on these.

@BotanyRNG @GuyBarter @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci @RNGherb @BUCBotany @DrSueMoss @PlantTeaching @janeperrone This is quite a tough plant to grow well - it needs good light and careful watering.

Ceropegia sandersonii has weird green parachute flowers that smell of...

We're interested in whether growing houseplants in your student room can help with mental well-being. Looking at this smile we're starting from a pretty happy point! 😁🤩 #houseplants @RNGherb @readingbotany

[Alastair Culham @BotanyRNG]

@mygreenstudy back in action @ReadingBioSci. Today we were potting up houseplants. Over the next three weeks our planty students will live with these and report on their well-being.

Gynura aurantiaca is known as purple passion due to the colourful hairs. Lovely in leaf, a bit whiffy in flower. It's a fun #houseplant and very tactile but needs good light and regular trimming back. #Asteraceae #mygreenstudy @mrjmagson
