Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus was born in 1707.

Linnaeus introduced the two-part system of naming organisms - binomial nomenclature - where each species is given a genus name followed by a species name. This system brought consistency and clarity to the naming of organisms. His work laid the foundation for the biological classification system by categorizing living organisms into hierarchical groups based on shared characteristics.

A genuine wildflower has appeared in our "wildflower" garden patch. We seeded a bit of strimmed-to-the-roots lawn a few years ago with a local mix of seeds. It looked ok, but we gave up. We've left it alone again this year and a Bulbous Buttercup has appeared, which was not in the original mix. So it got here on it's own, so a wild flower. The other "wildflowers" that came from the mix are not, because we planted them.

One of the stop's during Davis' Ride of Silence was close to a carob (Ceratonia siliqua) tree I know of. I noticed some dropped branches on the street nearby and picked them up.

Carob is cauliflorous & ramiflourous - its racemes of flowers bloom directly from its trunk and branches. @plantscience @gardening

Red Campion for the challenge. Not one of my more difficult botanising trips - it's growing in a planter in my front yard in which I encourage wild flowers. Not that they don't also take over the rest of the yard, but some of them aren't so good at growing in the cracks.

Cactus flowers are the best. This is an Echinocereus or hedgehog cactus. It's an early bloomer on the Colorado Plateau.

Botanists analyze the role of pollinators in the evolution of flowers with various sexual forms

Botanists explore Darwin's theory on precise pollination in flowering plants. Their study reveals correlations between heterostyly, floral traits, and pollinators, supporting Darwin's hypothesis. This macroevolutionary analysis sheds new light on the role of ecology in plant reproductive mechanisms.
