#DYK the last Boston sighting of the New England blazing star was in 1933? Our horticulturists partnered with @zoonewengland & MA Division of Fisheries & Wildlife to reintroduce this rare wildflower to locations in Middlesex County. @BostonGlobe tinyurl.com/yfv6z6b9

#Mycoheterotroph alert! Have only seen the striking red Hairy #Pinesap (#Hypopitys lanuginosa) twice before after some targeted searching, but stumbled on this clump in oak woodland at end of our block this AM. The plant lacks chlorophyll, instead draws carbon from soil fungi.

So happy to see this tree-ring teaching tool live! Represents great work by local, #NSFfunded high school teacher Elicia Andrews (via @NSF RET grant to our @USLTER site) and her mentors @YellowBuckeye & @PsnowSnow. If you use it in the classroom, please let us know how it goes!
New #DataNugget alert! Student use authentic #dendrochronology data from @HarvardForest to study how a species of tree responds to warming temperatures from #climatechange. Complete with example tree core that students can date themselves! datanuggets.org/2019/12/wind… @PsnowSnow

Happy Birthday to the Father of American Botany! Asa Gray (1810-1888) established the Gray Herbarium in 1864 when he gifted ~200,000 specimens & ~ 2,200 texts to Harvard. The #GH now contains more than 2 mil. specimens and remains a centerpiece of botanical research. #BOTD

Spring #Magnolia Marathon - stage 3: Magnolia tripetala now in bloom in neUS. Unlike other sweet-smelling magnolias, blooms of this species are noted for ‘malodorous’ scent, a bit like spoiled fruit! Native to seUS, but escaping & naturalizing in north:
