Thank you @bsbibotany.bsky.social! Looking forward to the rest of my #Identiplant journey and hopefully more Eureka moments!
Find out how Nicola @wildplantwanderer.bsky.social is progressing on her botanical journey with #Identiplant, our online botany course.
She's been getting to grips with leaf shapes, #WildFlowerID keys & she just had her 1st "Eureka, suddenly it all fell into place" moment: bsbi.org/blog/2026/03...
Delighted that @bsbibotany.bsky.social have shared my first #Identiplant blogpost - Musings of a Botanical Beginner: My Botanical Journey Begins… Currently at the "how many different leaf shapes can there possible be?" stage, but so far so good.
Check out the first instalment in a new series of guest blogposts: Musings of a Beginner Botanist, in which #BSBITrustee Nicola aka @wildplantwanderer.bsky.social gets started with serious botany!
How?

Woo! It seems that I have somehow managed to pass this year's @BSBIbotany #Identiplant course! 🥳 🌱🔎
Big thanks to Steve Gater and @durhamwildlife for the opportunity. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Grass-of-Parnassus to celebrate...
Woo! Four more @BSBIbotany #Identiplant units down, and only three to go! Definitely feel like I'm learning, albeit slowly.
Bloody Crane's-bill for light relief before I tackle the Figwort family... #botany 😬🌱
Finally plucked up the courage to tackle the scary yellow brassica module of the current #Identiplant course.
Actually think I have one! Eastern Rocket (Sisymbrium orientale). Maybe. Possibly. Eek. 😶🔎
Bit the bullet and signed up to @durhamwildlife's #Identiplant course, starting today with @BSBIbotany's Steve Gater.
Not sure whether I'm excited or terrified but it's about time I learnt to ID plants to 'proper' way. Thanks to @bumble_being for the inspiration!😊
