Here’s some FinnFern in recognition of Fern Friday.

Did I hear someone say fern Friday!? Here’s my contribution, the undisputed king of the ferns, the tree fern (Dicksonia antarctica). Here alongside Daphne and Euonymus in a small London garden.

During this crazy, unusual, scary..? (Don't know the exact word to describe it- definitely unforgettable) time my plants have been an amazing distraction and comfort. 💚Plants really are therapy. They still need tending to-water, clean, turn, repeat. This fern crozier unfurling is so beautiful! 🌿 Spring is here, plant life is waking up and sending out new growth. 🌿 New life is happening all around us. 🌱Have a great Friday and stay safe! . . #fernFriday #fernfronds #springishere #timetorepot #houseplantcare #nestandthrive #plantsaretherapy #plantparenthood #flauntyourleaves #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplantsrock #houseplants #indoorplants #urbanjungle #house_plant_community #greenyourfeed #get_planted #bhghome #crazyplantlady #morehouseplants https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XVG92AQu-/?igshid=4o9z66obrg5k

I am betting that #fernfriday is a thing. And yes! It has been hashtagged nearly 5,000x. Totally legit. #oakfern #gymnocarpiumdryopteris (at Glacier National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5v8XzhgVuC/?igshid=19vneaaybxpdq

#fernfriday This one is hardier and easier to care so it can go in the vintage #terrarium I bought from @etsyuk ages ago but haven’t found the perfect plant to go in it. I liked the old, abandoned #greenhouse #glasshouse look with trailings out of the gap in the window, and fronds presses up against the window #plantsatwindows #buttonfern #pellaea #pellaearotundifolia #vintageterrarium #nofilter #ferns #fern (at Surbiton) https://www.instagram.com/p/BycZQiIg5NX/?igshid=jb1kd71je4oq

Plant Paleobiology term projects, part 1

This term I got to teach a new class: Plant Paleobiology. It was a LOT of work for various reasons, but rewarding too! We are part of an NSF-funded consortium to digitize fossil and living ferns in our collections, and I wanted to bring this into the classroom along with a bit of creativity. So for a final project students chose one (preferably) pteridophyte (fern, horsetail, clubmoss, and extinct relatives) and did a scientific illustration of the specimen, artistic piece inspired by the specimen, and an informational drawing and text based on some aspect of the species’ biology. 

My graduate student instructor, Zack, and I were impressed by everything we saw and it was so much fun to have a final lab period where they each got to talk about their pieces and show them off! The work that was voted as the top favorite was done by Ashley Hamersma on Plenasium (Osmundites) chandleri, a permineralized stem from the ~45 million year old Clarno Formation in Oregon that belongs to the Royal Fern family (Osmundaceae).  I did not vote -- which is good because my first paleobotany project was also on an osmundaceous stem so I have a soft spot for them. You can read a bit more about it in a recent iDigBio Biodiversity Spotlight article we did.

Here is Ashley’s scientific illustration:

For her artistic portion, she made a rubber stamp based on the cross section of the stem.

Ashley did four prints: plain black ink, purple/blue ink, black ink colored with hibiscus (and lemon juice -- she found it turned blue on the paper without being acidified to keep it pink, but that gave it a great effect!), and black ink colored with turmeric dye. 

I’ll post more of the projects over the coming weeks!
