UARK is bustling today! Volunteers @dgwalt.bsky.social @auxarcwildflowers.bsky.social @staymoreark.bsky.social and grad student @arisaemaguy.bsky.social mounted plants and worked on insect mgmt, while local artist (and recent UA grad) Riley Moore came in to draw grasses.

Saw some exceptionally vibrant Hamamelis vernalis (Ozark witch-hazel) in flower yesterday. Seems just a few weeks too early but I’m not the authority on witch-hazel phenology 🤷 #hamamelidaceae #ozarks #flowers

@arisaemaguy.bsky.social and I might change our career paths to becoming florists #ripnsf

i’m so tired but i’ve got obligations 😩

Shakes hard drive... Here are some more fancy moths.

Appreciating the buds of Asimina triloba 🥺 so cute and technically naked 😳

Joined this app because I got sick of Meta but here’s a member of the Arisaema triphyllum species complex to bless someone’s feed with. This fella is from the Ouachita NF in Arkansas #araceae #arisaema #metasucks
