Congratulations, @laymonstera.bsky.social and @tropicalbotany.bsky.social lab!!

I've gone back and forth between strumosus and decapetalus for this population. www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Great! Are you still working on this and gt blue lobelia?

I like that one!

No Question mark Intended

I just checked in Maple Grove, the Cardinal flowers are not flowering yet?

though I see plenty of July flowering observations in prairies in our area; my observations are in forests: www.inaturalist.org/observations...

My records for that one all begin mid-August, so close! www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Thanks Holly! It was fun talking with the class. We're glad you could come out for the day.

HOORAY!!! Belated congratulations!

Thank you! That's a great explanation.

The feeling is mutual! It's heartbreaking to see Scientific American go this way. I was stunned years ago to see how natural history magazine had been gutted... These two magazines were foundational to my development as a naturalist.

I am going to miss your stamp on the magazine, both your editing and your writing. Thanks for all you've done there!
