Friday Flower 001: Mimulus lewisii 🌸✨
Monkeyflowers are masterpieces of design with nectar-guide spots formed by an activator–inhibitor system of MYB transcription factors. These generate reaction–diffusion patterns across the ventral petal.

New research from CSHL’s Zach Lippman, David McCandlish, and collaborators uncovers cryptic mutations—hidden genetic changes that only show up under certain conditions and shape plant traits. Understanding these could lead to better crops and better medicines. www.cshl.edu/branching-ou...

Hot off the presses and so so thrilled. Thanks to @inaturalist.bsky.social + computer vision we found something beautifully simple: Red and orange flowers bloom later than all the other colors in the eastern United States. Paper here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kwzh3QW8S...

It’s 🌿International Plant Appreciation Day🌿, so here’s a Corydalis melanochlora from the Hengduan Mountains. I can’t stop praising my favorite alpine flora 🥰
