I was invited by my old college society to the Drift King Championships 10 Year Anniversary Tournament. I got to crown Drift King 2025, and I received my original crown as a gift from the society to keep.

10 Years later, they still call me The Drift King back in college. Much love to Trinity Scifi

Apparently it’s #InternationalMountainDay, so here’s one of my favourite places on Earth: Cwm Idwal in Eryri (Snowdonia). Here, alongside many rare alpine plants is one of my favourites - Pabi Cymreig (Welsh Poppy) - growing high above the lake in a narrow chasm known as the Devil’s Kitchen #botany

Finding swathes of Small-flowered Buttercup Ranunculus parviflorus in my childhood home town in Essex was a proper May highlight. A real connoisseur's plant! Hadn't been seen anywhere near here for decades. @bsbibotany.bsky.social #botany

#inktober/#hiyotober prompt - oxalis

rendering a lot of plants is really intimidating and hard for me so i tried my best to do that here

From last week’s rainy spell.

Another February highlight was Alternate-leaved Golden-saxifrage Chrysosplenium alternifolium, a small plant with a big name. I had to visit Berkshire to see this: it's far from common in Hampshire. @bsbibotany.bsky.social #botany

I really like old herbarium illustrations. Last year I wrote some software to parse, score, and process the Oxford 400 herbarium dataset to remove the paper background and select the best photos.

Leaves…turning, falling, carpeting…let’s go for a walk…🍁🍂

Just a tree, in a wood. Somewhere in the Trossachs.
