It takes five (5) oaks to make a new oak. Why? My explanations (🧵) 
A few days ago I asked the students the following question: how many oaks to make a new oak? It was during a lecture on pollination ecology. I defined an oak as any multicellular genetically unique organism made of oak cells. The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
Of course, they immediately thought about the two parental trees, the maternal and paternal oaks. Oak trees have both male and female flowers, so a single oak can give rise to a new oak following self-fertilization, but this is exceedingly rare.

+10° at 6 o’clock👍🏻
Tulips stick up in everywhere, not just by the warm wall, & my pile if branches grows. Slow work, but at least the nearby flowerbeds are rinsed, ready for new soil
Right now it’s 69 days 16hrs 12 min until the summer solstice June 21

Even warmer today: 6pm it is +12° & the first drops of rain make me give up & go inside
My patio is now more or less swept, ready for pots & benches
I’ll prune the ivy tomorrow
It is now exactly 68 days, 17 hrs, 9 min until the summer solstice June 21, 11.14am

C'était une matinée "étournesque". Cet #Etourneau sansonnet ( Sturnus vulgaris) était en train de se laver en barbotant dans l'eau, pas très loin de nous

since I am spending Xmas eve alone, I decided to write something about spices! What do these #spices have in common? #botany #Iamabotanist #plantmas
the answer is that all of these plants have some of these in their tissue. But what are these? #plantanatomy
these are ethereal oil cells, specialized cells that accumulate volatile substances that give the spices their aroma! They can be present in the leaves, such as in bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) or indian bay (Cinnamomum tamala)...
Ive started an amateur herbarium! Pressed plants from my camping trip!
I know its a bit crude with the tape and I need to make nicer labels but I think its a good start! #botany

So happy so many ppl are excited about this!! I did this very affordably I think with only four items
$20--large thick hardback drawing book
$3--large elastics
$12--the portfolio binder w/ 25 polypropylene pages
$1/sheet--the acid free paper
So less than $50CAD vs $250+

The flat forceps help with removing the pressed plant which might be stuck.
