She doesn’t ignore her sadness,
Doesn’t fight her anger,
Or hide her fear,
Nor does she become her feelings.
She accepts her pain and she howls.
Her voice fills the world with colour and life.
She howls for every she-wolf who has not yet learnt to howl.
#InternationalWomensDay
In every corner of house and garden there’s a small drama unfolding. This morning, Gwydir’s mighty Gothic door provides a take-off and landing platform for fledging swallows. Good luck little ones.
“I was shy, solitary, awkward in company. Alone by the river, alone through the fields, alone on the top of the Forest. Sitting alone on the grass in the sunshine. Walking alone through the woods at night. Alone with myself. Alone - yet never lonely.” ~C.R.Milne

Everything seemed to pile up today, and I could barely catch my breath, but then I just received the confirmation that this paper is officially being published. Oh my, this is my very first new species of Primula:
Primula chongqingensis K.Liang & Y.S.Rong!
This was actually the third new-species manuscript I wrote, so I have no idea how this one ended up being published first. But I absolutely have to thank @timutteridge for guiding me through every step when I was writing my very first manuscript — I had always thought that one would become my first published new species, ahhhhh!

Sarcocapnos speciosa
Sierra Nevada (Almería) - Junio
Es una planta herbácea perennizante, cespitosa, glabra, glauca.
Vive en paredones de calizas o de materiales silíceos (esquistos micáceos). De 800 a 2500 m de altitud.
Bajo nuestros pies, un enorme entramado de millones de km de red fúngica, alimenta a nuestras plantas y se come el 11% de nuestro CO2, y la mayor parte de este vital entramado no tiene la debida protección. Interesante este nuevo estudio.
