This crew consumed 65 species for #PlantsGiving today. The youngest ate roughly .8 lbs of Vaccinium macrocarpon sauce.

33 families. Lamiaceae and Poacaeae tied for the lead. The Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute my bro-in-law injected the turkey with was a clutch player.

Solidago sempervirens still blooming here and there on the back dunes of the Jersey coast. #SeasideGoldenrod #iamabotanist #phenology

Too much heaviness to go around lately, but this rube is taking a little bit of comfort from the sun rising over the Atlantic (and my wife). And, later today, by counting #PlantsGiving species with my kids.

Back in the home state for #PlantsGiving. #JerseyFresh

Field Botany at the Roaring Creek Tract, Weiser State Forest. Talked about the legacy of coal mining in the region, the history of state lands preservation, and met some cool new ferns. Only three field trips left with this gang for the semester.

Bucknell Botany students, 1912 and 2022. The cliff face remains largely the same after 110 years, but some other things have changed quite a bit.
