Yesterday would have been this beautiful girl’s 16th birthday, instead it’s 52 days since you left this world💔Happy sweet sixteen my little puppy, the best #Botanydog I hope your days are full of mud, water and ramburgers💞
Huge thanks to @jessica-hamilton.bsky.social & the #BSBIKerry team!

Strawberry Tree is part of the famous Lusitanian flora but how did it arrive in Ireland?

Huge thanks & congrats to everyone who braved foul weather to take part in #NewYearPlantHunt!
Commiserations to everyone for whom snow stopped play: we all felt your pain!

One of my favourite plants😍
Thanks Jenni, Happy New Year😊
In contrast, the Ballyheigue hunt was extremely soggy, so much so that we retreated early to prevent hypothermia! We still recorded 44, our highest ever for this route. Had we been able to finish the usual route, I estimate we would have gotten 50+ #NewYearPlantHunt @bsbibotany.bsky.social
First post on this dedicated to the #NewYearPlantHunt
We were blessed with blue skies while moseying around the Muckross Peninsula in KNP while searching for plants in flower for the 2026 #NYPH Six of us recorded 42 species in flower including obligatory Arbutus unedo #NYPH @bsbibotany.bsky.social
