A stroll through Inverleith Park and the Botanics.
I love the line of trees in Inverleith Park, and they made me seek out a similar but different prospect in the Botanics. Lots of crocuses and daffodils too, though I didn't notice and forgot to look for the famous snowdrops!
I think it was my first visit to the Botanics since Storm Eowyn. There are still many trees down. It's a bit like seeing injured friends.

British geneticist and plant anatomist Edith Rebecca Saunders was born #OTD in 1865.
She is best as known as the "Mother of British Plant Genetics": she played an active role in the re-discovery of Mendel's laws of heredity, the understanding of trait inheritance in plants. She also developed extensive work on flower anatomy, particularly focusing on the gynoecia, the female reproductive organs of flowers.

What is Botanical Illustration? Learn About the History of This Scientific Art Form.
Prior to the invention of photography, botanical illustration was the only way of visually recording the world’s many species of plant life. Today, science books are full of highly detailed photographs—typically taken with a macro lens or even a microscope—allowing us to discover the fascinating forms of flora and fauna.

I love them. I used to follow the designer on the bird site in the old days, and it occurred to me that some other #bloomscrolling peeps might appreciate them too.

I wonder... if you were to paint a plant, what would you find most appealing?
Because today I'm very fascinated with Venus Flytraps. The shapes, the colors, the teeths...
