First serious dandelion hunt of the year, nice large Taraxacum exsertiforme - a completely female species producing no pollen at all.
Blimey. I always leave mine for the 🐝 etc. Should I be getting rid of them before they spread?

At the Hillier Arboretum today, wish I’d known the size and scale of the collections before, absolutely stunning. And they have some Sorbus species I haven’t even heard of 😂

Looking at more Sorbus at Winkworth Arboretum - needs more labelling to help a confused botanist not sure what half of them are before they flower/fruit!

The most important tree in the world 😉 at Westonbirt Arboretum yesterday - Sorbus richii L. Houston with the relevant nomenclatural parties!

Happy world penguin day 2024! Here are some of my favourite Adélie’s from 2006, apparently already showing a retraction of range from the warmer areas of Antarctica.

Otters are honorary plants! Up at dawn and watched this one fishing on far side of lily pond for 5 mins before it caught its breakfast. Now I know why Gavin Maxwell called his book ‘Ring of bright water’

Mycologist at Coal Spoil Fungi
2yCan we swap some mycology ID skills for dandelion ID skills in the field? I can't explain why, but they bring me out in a sweat 😂😂
