Photo of Karolina with a big floppy hat and sunglasses perched on her head, squatting in front of a Welwitschia that is backlit by the setting sun.
Another of my favorite plants: Welwitschia! I got to take a bucket-list trip to Namibia this year to hang with these weirdos. While they are only found in the Namib desert, they're actually quite prolific there! #IamaBotanist #LetsGoPlants
Photo of Karolina (wearing green field pants and a light blue sunshirt) hugging an unsuspecting Joshua tree.

The king of the urban jungle - The Dandelion (Taraxacum agg.). It’s virtually indestructible but oh so valuable for pollinating insects (80% of the insect food production through its pollen). This plant is my passion for International Plant Appreciation Day! #iamabotanist #LetsGoPlants
International Plant Appreciation Day in recognition of the impact of plants in our career and world.
D. fruticosa (金露梅 jin lu mei) yellow-petaled and D. glabra (银露梅 yin lu mei) white-petaled have shaped my career. I will be an MSc holder soon courtesy of them.
