He’s partway through spending a week here with me in Wales, and it’s not often I get to see him so full of delight. Happy birthday little brother, I love you so much ❤️27 Aug 2026 20:52 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu3q3vbsss2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3mtrjps6lt22yA few #WallPlants for this week’s #Wildflowerhour! A sea campion (Silene uniflora) on the sea-facing side of a monument still flowering and green, and a fun bonus: a very high and distant butterfly bush (Buddleja spp) near the top of a building!23 Aug 2026 19:31 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtrjps6lt22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3mtqey3n4jc2pWonderful article. Arctic plants are both historically and (extremely) currently relevant. Their very specific and amazing adaptations have put them at risk! Nice notes as well on the range of biases, the importance of indigenous knowledge, and the larges gaps that still exist within the field [contains quote post or other embedded content]23 Aug 2026 08:34 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtqey3n4jc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3mtopzwxcf22bDid a walk yesterday with eyes peeled and found some really good ones for this!!!

On a whim I picked up this novella from my library as I’ve been meaning to read more Le Guin, and WOW what incredible, naturalistic world building. I’m genuinely beginning to pace around at the reveals happening. Le Guin!!!21 Aug 2026 12:39 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtlrq2iuwk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3mtjwpzrij22xI’ve been getting to do some real cool data analysis at work involving the period length of red clover, and today I got to compare our accessions to their original geographic locations and was overjoyed! Plant biogeography is really solidifying itself my path, and I’m thrilled to see where it goes!!20 Aug 2026 19:03 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtjwpzrij22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3mtcaqgdjhc2jThe impossible day has come and gone! As of this afternoon, that’s an official wrap on my first year of uni! I was incredibly nervous going in, but I felt quite good by the end. So thankful for a wonderful year full of plants, and so grateful for a long break before September term rolls around 🙂‍↕️❤️ [contains quote post or other embedded content]17 Aug 2026 17:41 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtcaqgdjhc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3msntgtmu6s2xOne upside of being rather sick this summer has been I’ve been able to smash through all three of these books! The botanical folk tales were fun and lovely while the other two were highly recommended page turners, ESPECIALLY Between Two Fires if you can stomach intense visceral medieval horror!

It’s a bit difficult to practice as the lack of rain has taken a toll, but it’s quite wonderful to see these and a few others still scattered about!19 Jul 2026 21:44 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqzqssklwc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3mqylo3taqk2eWorking on some plant identification out in the field today, and genuinely single Asteraceae flowers have such an interesting structure. This one in particular had such downy leaves too, in a basal rosette, and grey tones underneath. Such varied morphology when you get to take a closer look!19 Jul 2026 10:39 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqylo3taqk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3mqw7l7ywyc23Got to visit my library today! I’ve been chasing Between Two Fires for over a year now, and the other two caught me on the shelf! For the last one, I find there’s such an incredible intersection between science and traditional belief. Understanding history will only enhance its modern counterpart!18 Jul 2026 11:57 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqw7l7ywyc23https://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3mqtvfds5hs2kTwo weeks ago I got to attend the Gatsby Plant Science Summer School, an inspiring week of lectures and practicals with academics and industry professionals paired with candid, thoughtful discussions about the realities of the work, the doubts, the challenges, and the rewards that came with them.17 Jul 2026 13:50 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqtvfds5hs2khttps://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3mqten7bqw22oAbsolutely incredible news!! Digitalization is such an important tool when it comes to preserving our historical knowledge, especially when following trends of species!

I got to submit an herbarium sheet about this little guy last night, and truly there is so much wonder in the world, and a whole world in each particular plant!14 Jul 2026 06:05 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqljzzcrs22khttps://bsky.app/profile/feeniebaybee.bsky.social/post/3mos75yfwbc2nBeen having quite the reading summer (I’m always spiritually doing a summer reading program no matter if there’s one available) and I’ve just started this little book I got from my birthday, and it’s immediately going to be a 5/5. Wonderful, well-written and translated, and incredibly interesting!21 Jun 2026 10:49 +0000at://did:plc:rdpyuyh5fuiw22rdr5csv26q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mos75yfwbc2n
