Flowers are really difficult to display in museums, and so are often completely left out. But these beautiful botanical models are a brilliant way of ensuring they are included.

Just watched a young lass of about two stop her dad and show him this little garden in the high street pavement. Delightful! They see the important things we adults miss.

Today is & it's time to claim!

Despite in iNaturalist 40% of world observations are of plants (40 of 100 millions!), they all appear labeled as 'Plantae', while animals have MANY labels: Aves, Reptilia, Amphibia, Arachnida...

WHY? ➡️

Today is #FascinationofPlantsDay & it's time to claim!
