Is the Kew herbarium relocation already causing disruption? It used to be 200 new plant species described a year by @KewScience but maybe the distraction and exodus of skilled taxonomists caused by these plans is starting to have an effect? @KewKeepers bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
Despite his great hiding place, I'm afraid to say that Jerry didn't win this encounter!
It always properly feels like Christmas once I've read the new species round up by @DrMartinCheek! ‘Queen’s hedgehog’ fungus among 2022’s new discoveries recorded by Kew theguardian.com/science/2022/d…
@BBCNews We’ve also been on the lookout for #PoisonBooks in @RHSLibraries. We’ve found some eye-catching examples so far! This is the Emerald Green binding on Garden favourites by James Shirley Hibberd [1858, 950 HIB]. #PoisonBookProject @WinterthurMuse @BBCLookNorth
“The solution to the blending of worldwide pests and pathogens by trade is the blending of worldwide host genomes” ie breeding for genetic resistance: @RJABuggs @KewScience @QMUL #PlantHealthConference #PlantHealth
Megaplatypus mutatus sounds like a terrifying species in Latin, however it's a beetle and doesn't look all that! Potentially damaging to deciduous trees though!
🗣️ The big day is here! @Arsenal @Carabao_Cup #AFCW
We've made it to the end of the week, so we thought we'd share some incredible #endpapers from Vernon Kellog's Insect stories (1908), which has illustrations by Mary Wellman, Maud Lanktree & Sekko Shimada. We love this brilliant bold bug design! [372 KEL] #Friday #Insects
You can find all sorts of interesting evidence left by former owners inside our books, from pressed plants to marginalia. All of which can tell a story about how books were used & appreciated across their history. There's always something more to see in @RHSLibraries! [615.3 DAL]
Caterpillars doing their thing on a nettle leaf.
We were set a challenge to find an image of the RHS Olympic squad. How about this for Olympic standard– the 1959 Kew-Wisley Relay Race featuring competitors from @RHSWisley! #Athletes built for speed …& gardening! [photo by E J Adnams/64784-1001] #Tokyo2020 #Olympics
It’s the #Euro2020Final! Well, they may not have #ThreeLions on their shirts, but we think the @RHSWisley Team c.1948 look like #Football legends! [RHS/P/WY/1/6/D/6] #ItsComingHome #Euro2020 #ITAENG #ENGITA
These student gardeners from c.1910 look like they knew how to dig deep to win a #football match. Will #England plant some in the back of the net at tonight’s #EURO2020 semi-final? [RHS/P/WY/1/6/D/2] #ENGDEN @RHSWisley
It’s almost time for England’s next match in #EURO2020, but how about this for a starting line-up? The "blooming" marvellous & appropriately named Hortensia Football Club @RHSWisley c.1908, featuring a waistcoat rival for @GarethSouthgate! [RHS/P/WY/1/6/D/1]. #ENGUKR #Football
Serving up a riddle today. What has one of these cabbages pictured in the Album Benary (1876) got to do with #Wimbledon? Why, the cabbage on the left is labelled as the Tennis ball, that’s what! 🎾[635.0 BEN] #tennis #Hort&Sport #FridayFun
So disappointed. My replacement Pinter from @FreshBrewing arrived today, a month after we sent the previous leaking one back. Decided to get a brew on for Christmas, but this time the brewing dock won't attach to the cap so I can't even finish purifying.
Another day, another lack of internet. In the last 10 days, we've only had 4 without any problems. @TalkTalk does this mean we only have to pay 40% of our bill?
We have now been without @TalkTalk broadband here in Sutton since Sunday morning. Working from home is nigh on impossible. I just hope this doesn't carry on for two weeks like our previous problem with them as I like being employed.

3K Followers 352 Following Collections-based research behind the scenes at the Kew Herbarium, Africa team of the Accelerated Taxonomy department.So 418 votes& over 90% of responses say they won't be cutting hedges spring/summer this year This is the right response. SO many eyes will be looking out this year knowing about the regulation gap& to me its not worth the ecological damage nor the reputational risk to UK Farming
With CrossCompliance gone, theres a worry that hedges will be cut in spring/summer. Prime bird nesting season. (Fyi still a criminal act to disturb a bird nest) Is it worth the extra reputation blow to farming? Are you likely to cut your hedges in spring or summer this year?
