Nice! Your video immediately evoked the odd odor of an herbarium.

Ooh, I'd love a herbarium series! A question for a future installment, perhaps--I used to work in a vert museum, so I understand cataloging, but have always been confused about pressings... Doesn't flattening limit your view of the plant? How do pressings show 3D info for succulents/ caudiciforms?

science-irl.bsky.social•13 days ago

Oh these are GREAT ideas!! Ok we'll need one video about tissue rehydration, one about morphometric data from 2D specimens, one about what we do with the super 3D guys like cacti and coconuts...✍️✍️✍️

shingworks.com•13 days ago

:[______] rehydration?? the plot thickens, lol. Wait, are there herbarium wet collections? or are those just living collections? so many questions, haha... I'm interested in it all! So glad I found your account

Yes and followed! I spent a lot of summers at the Fairchild Botanical Garden's Herbarium in Miami FL collecting pollen samples from a lot of tropical and South American Montane species.

sorican.bsky.social•13 days ago

Following for more plant facts!

if I may suggest.... start with the staff favorites...usually they're favorites for a reason. (like the orchid with the moth that makes Gene Simons jealous.)
