@RealSafeSeattle @hannahkrieg Not surprisingly, City Transportation workers and SPD officers stood around watching while UW gardeners and heavy equipment operators initiated traffic control and removal of the tree. *source: I’m a UW gardener*
@TobySpribille This is incredible, congratulations Toby!!
@TobySpribille So excited to read this!
@USFWS ***A S S I S T A N T S*** to the Regional Branch Manager🤨
@Scott_Zona Definitely Polylepis spp., a high altitude Andean tree!
@Texosporium Congrats Jesse! You’re filling great shoes and I’m excited to see a fellow lichenologist in that position. I’m sure Northwest Lichenologists is looking forward to having you up here too😉 welcome to Washington!
@SteveO9259 @wsdot @DianaKepner I drove from Burien to Maple Leaf and then to UW this morning and it was absolutely terrifying. Everything is coated in an inch or two of ice. A semi on 75th and Roosevelt tried to go up a slight incline and slid sideways hitting parked cars and blocking the whole street. Chaos.
Lunar eclipses are so un-spectacular that if nobody told you what was happening to the Moon you’d probably not notice at all. Just sayin’.
@JoeySantore @naomibot Was the lichen there vagrant? Loose and tumbling around on the ground?
We spend countless hours maintaining these beauties, please don’t climb them😢
Immediately no. Immediately no. 🚩 🚩 🚩 😢 reddit.com/r/udub/comment…
Yesterday’s we reached 60 degrees in Seattle, I can’t wait for more warm day like this 🙌🏽. - Picture was taken yesterday during sunset / blue hours
Nice allotment bryophyte community - Riccia glauca, Bryum rubens, Funaria hygrometrica, Dicranella staphylina & Tortula acaulon identified. @Trichocolea @BBSbryology
Pleurothallis ornata is an orchid from high-elevation Mexico that produces tiny flowers that smell like rot, with dangly white appendages on the sepals that mimic maggots to attract predatory wasps. Orchids have an endless variety of tricks up their sleeve to achieve pollination.
Roses are red. Lupines are blue. I like my trails clean. Pick up your dog poo.
What a sight.✨ 32 years ago, I powered off my cameras forever. Minutes before, I imaged this pale blue dot; my former home. Details on the iconic 1990 photo, which was reprocessed for the 30th anniversary: go.nasa.gov/3gNmouu
Probably the highest-occuring arborescent cactus on Earth, Trichocereus atacamensis grows at an elevation of 15,000' on the volcanic soils of Northern Chile near Vilacollo, close to the Bolivian Border. Also present here was a species of Pampas grass and a species of Stevia.
Astrophytum asterias, one of the most endangered cacti in the US. An obligate out-crosser, populations are declining in-situ, mostly due to poor land management & land clearance. Endemic to the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas & Tamaulipas, Mx.
Data paper is out! We sampled paired serpentine & non-serp plant communities at >100 locations across California; each plot visited in multiple years. Our trait data also available separately: doi.org/10.6086/D1P96N Interested to see what people use this for& happy to discuss!

AMARYLLIDACEAE: #Cyrtanthus #ventricosus or Fire Lily. Flowering just two weeks after fire on sandstone slopes in fynbos, this bright shiny red flower stands out beautifully in the blackened earth.
