Hi all, As some will know I have a bit of a <"floating plant obsession">, and this has just come my way via my day job (and "Botany One" <"🌻 The Week in Botany October 23, 2023">) <"Future Mars astronauts may chomp on Earth's tiniest flowering plant to survive"> Photo copy write Christian...

Hi all, I'm not claiming that <"I'm Nostradamus">, but in light of the energy crisis (<"Our hobby faces an existential threat">) and <"Brexit bonus">, I just wanted to say that <"I am still doing"> the <"tarot card readings">. From 2013 (and a thread that @foxfish added greatly to) cheers...

Hi all, Following a combination of having some unexpected free-time and a "draw your plec" thread on another forum, I've drawn one of mine. The third serendipitous event was that I could actually see one. I've had 5 of them for about 6 months, but I've only seen them on a hand-full of occasions...

Hi all, Got sent this link via my "day job", but it is quite entertaining and I thought I'd share it. Also makes you wonder what Santa Claus has done to Rudolf, Dasher and Prancer? and whether he did it in the traditional Sami manner? Environmental Research Letters "Oslo: how castration can...
