Last week saw publication of 'Teesdale's Special Flora' by Dr Margaret E Bradshaw, Teesdale's special botanist - who has studied the flora here for 70 years and is still going strong at 97! Both the book and its author are truly inspiring... (please RT!)

[Dr Ruth Starr-Keddle @KeddleRuth]

I am very impressed with Margaret Bradshaw's new book called Teesdale's Special Flora, the photographs are beautiful, and the attention to detail is fantastic. A book for all #Teesdale lovers. #botany #wildflowers #alpines #nature #globeflowers @TeesdaleFlora @PrincetonNature

Thrilling to be @HighForceWater

So excited by this stunning book from @SummerfieldBook: #Teesdale's Special #Flora by Margaret E. Bradshaw. Featuring gorgeous photos, plenty of #arctic-#alpine rarities & a reminder to watch where you step when botanising! #botany @TeesdaleFlora @PrincetonNature @WILDGuidesBooks
