This #PlantTalkTuesday, we are discussing seed types! Categorized into three types based on their ability to be stored and secured: Orthodox, Intermediate, & Recalcitrant Seeds. Learn more about this essential topic in our #RarePlantAcademy video: SavePlants.org/video/seed-ty…

July was spent in newly burned forests (all burned in 2023) where we are hoping to understand where caribou lichen persists post fire and how pre-fire lichen influences burn severity🔥

🌱 How does road salt impact seed germination?
🌱 What's the effect of niche versus dispersal limitation of a lichen?
🌱 How do you distinguish Ceiba pubiflora and Ceiba speciosa in the vegetative phase?

Just as we need plants to survive, plants also need us to ensure their continued survival & conservation. 🌱 We want everyone to be involved in rare plant conservation! Visit CPC's Advocacy page to learn what is being done to safeguard rare plants: SavePlants.org/advocacy

For one of my summer passion projects, I'm sharing these stories about Canada's 'missing' wildlife that will be part of an upcoming paper. Hope they inspire awareness, exploration, and restoration!
This week: an Ontario plant (and a botanist) both worthy of more recognition.

Dr. Lacey Samuels (@UBCBotany) shared their lab's exciting research on meticulously tracking the building blocks of cell walls by leveraging the power of molecular genetics and cell biology.
Pretty cool technologies and groundbreaking insights! #PlantCanada2024 @cspbscbv – at Winnipeg, Manitoba

Two for one #FloraFriday: Silvery and silky lupines
A great place to see (and not pick!) them is on the Blakiston Fan.
They are two of the 48 native grasses and wildflowers we gather seeds from.
