My #speciesoftheweek is the Sycamore tree (Acer pseudoplatanus) - native from the Pyrenees to the Balkans (now ‘naturalised in the UK). Its seeds fly like helicopter blades, so when we're having bad hair days, it's having excellent dispersal days. #plantoftheweek #trees #seeds

My #SpeciesOfTheWeek are Magnolias which evolved 95 million years ago, they're among the first flowering plants, reliant on beetles for pollination. Today, spanning 300 species, they symbolise luck, beauty, and resilience across cultures. Named after botanist Pierre Magnol.
