Happy Friday. Here's my new favorite #herbarium label header. That font...😍 #HerbariumLife

I've taken up crafting diy miniature room kits & there are no museum-oriented kits. So I took a kit (kept the walls, desk, chair, lamp) and turned it into a herbarium workspace -- with a herbarium cabinet, plant press, hand lens, and other accessories. #HerbariumLife #Herbaria

Exciting news! I spent an incredible month at Kew Gardens working in the herbarium, collecting fruits from around the world. The opportunity to explore and learn about botanical diversity was truly amazing. 🌍✨ #KewGardens #BotanicalExploration #HerbariumLife #FruitCollection

Re-curating an #accession of mycological specimens from Mozambique in the #FarlowHerbarium today. What are you doing this #FungusFriday ? #HerbariumLife #Archival #BestPractices

Mistakes happen, even in a great #herbarium . It is a bit unfortunate though if specimen labels were switched accidentally and both specimens are types. 😬😳
But great if one can figure that problem out. 😁

For some reason Pita Pit in Starkville really wants us to know about their new management. #herbariumlife

The “☹️” annotation on this mixed #Passiflora collection (leaves of one species glued to look like they belong to the stems of a completely different species) is priceless—though, not exactly a ‘best practice’! #herbariumlife

#InternationalDayOfHappiness John Gerard's Herball of 1636 celebrates Borage, the starflower: 'Ego Borago, Gaudia semper ago (I, Borage, bring always joys)'. #Herbal #herbariumlife
