A botanist searches for the seeds of the rare Death Valley Sage For more than 15 years, botanist Naomi Fraga has been trying to collect seeds from the rare Death Valley sage, for safekeeping in a vault of native California seeds.

Great field #botany story of the difficulties of collecting seed from endangered species. Featuring the tireless and talented @naomibot.bsky.social . Lots of field photos in the story. I'm so glad this story got some coverage. #rareplants #conservation

We were so busy. SO busy. Starting a business is rough 🥺

Rosettes of sticky, green & pink colored plants, throwing up spikes of snowy white, star shaped flowers.

A human index finger next to the same white, star shaped flowers from the last photo, demonstrating their small size. The flowers are only about half the size of an index fingernail.

Drosera micrantha is well deserving of the name. These are adult plants & they’re absolutely tiny if you can’t tell.

Tall cylindrical glass terrarium displayed on a round wooden base, featuring layered dark substrate, a small band of decorative pebbles, bright green cushion moss, and a young purple-leaved plant centered in the moss; light condensation is visible on the inside of the glass, with a softly blurred terrarium and lamp in the background.

Made a video of the new build. I wanted to make a nice clean terrarium to showcase this beautiful Sonerila ‘White Vein’ cutting.

Will be a good single day conference on a rare & species-rich ecosystem in the Northeast U.S. I'll be giving a 15 minute talk at 11:35 AM eastern on botanical Nomenclature & Taxonomy used in a new paper we've drafted on this habitat to be submitted to Biological Conservation. #rareplants #botany

Tall glass bottle terrarium with a cork stopper, featuring a Sonerila sp. Dongii plant from Vietnam growing in lush green moss alongside cork bark and natural wood, with layered soil and blue drainage stones at the base, displayed on a wooden stand.

Made a small terrarium with the highlight being a Sonerila sp Dongii from Vietnam. It’s a very hearty and easy to grow Sonerila.

A green leaved plant with jet black spikes, called bullae, all over the surface.

Begonia ferox looking absolutely tantalizing. One of my favorite species in my entire collection by far. It does occasionally have some issues unfurling new growth if the humidity goes too low but other than that it’s shockingly unfussy. #houseplants #begonia #rareplants #bloomscrolling #plants
