content warning: murder and violence against people of color.
.
to look at trees without feeling the weight of the history of lynching is white privilege. trees serve(d) as dark tools in the murder of thousands of black people in America. The idea of forests as peaceful places is rooted in the cultural and literary movement of Romanticism, founded by and large by white elites who needed not fear vigilantes in the woods.
.
There’s currently an anti-lynching bill languishing in the Senate. Kentucky senator Rand Paul is holding it up. You know what to do: call your member of Congress and express your support for the Emmett Till anti-lynching law. And if you’re looking for books to read, check out Koritha Mitchell’s -Livung with Lynching-.

Herbaria 3.0 was founded by a team of scholars aim

Herbaria 3.0 was founded by a team of scholars aiming to change conversations about engagement with the plant world: who gets to “enjoy” nature, and who doesn’t? Who defines what “counts” as nature-knowledge? We are committed to #diversifytheoutdoors and #blackafinstem .
.
Soon available on our site (link in bio): resources for reading about race and environment. In the meantime, check out this beautiful art and click through the original post for information on how to buy it. #blm #blacknature #blackbotanist #indigenousbotanist

To be In Solidarity is to be in unity with your feelings AND actions for a common interest. We all want to be seen, heard, and respected. Those common generousities have not always been extended to black people, natives, or queer folks. Right now, Black people need the solidarity of every single person reading this caption and beyond. It’s time for us to come together for the greater good. Liberate one in order to liberate all. I’m so excited about this design because for the past year @teresabaker11 @kulacloth and I have been conspiring to create a fundraiser for good. It felt like the right time to bring this to life. With the sales of this Kula cloth we will attempt to raise over $20k to be distributed to a few non profits in the outdoors that are working hard to change the narrative of what it means to be a minority or underrepresented in the outdoors. More information on the organizations and the product release date soon. Thank you @teresabaker11 for always being a catalyst for good and thank you @kulacloth team for giving your resources and platform. For now feel free to share this Image (tag is for cred) to start conversations in your community or to make someone smile!

Dilemmas! I am about to face a terrible dilemma. I asked a neighbor-friend who works at a plant shop to see if they had a Nepenthes—wanted it as a thank you gift for a friend. She’s bringing this beauty home tonight.

My dilemma—how am I ever going to give it away once I get hold of it??? 😂 😂 😂

#latergram from one year ago, when we posted this same pic on our feed, of a #yucca blooming in the #desert. The desert is not a well-known destination for plant lovers, but it’s stunning in the spring!
.
At this moment when most of us cannot travel, it’s nice to look back at all the plants we’ve seen in different places! If you have a plant memory you’d like to share, check out our site (link in bio!).

The second picture was taken yesterday.
The last picture was taken this morning (Wednesday).

I’m all for snow but really, this is getting a bit much. I’m afraid to see what the damage to tender plants will be. Hopefully the snow will (again) protect from cold temps...I’ll post an update once we can see the ground again!

These beauties are the only blooms left on a crabapple tree after a hard freeze in Boulder, Colorado. 🥶
.
They emerged from buds that were close to the ground and encased in 16 inches / 41 cm of (protective!) snow. All the other buds are now a sad, wilted brown. But we’ll cherish these survivors!!

A miracle tree.
.
A few years ago, this Bradford ornamental pear almost died after a hard frost: multiple nights of -14F / -26C while it still had its leaves! . . . A couple of years after the frost, the bark started to peel off. Everyone said it was dead and had to be cut. We persevered, though, and the tree managed to slowly regrow its bark. Here it is, putting out buds for a new year! Nature!!
