My #SpeciesOfTheWeek are Magnolias which evolved 95 million years ago, they're among the first flowering plants, reliant on beetles for pollination. Today, spanning 300 species, they symbolise luck, beauty, and resilience across cultures. Named after botanist Pierre Magnol.

Wonderful to see. I really hope you enjoy reading it!.
There is always something very very special about @FlyingEyeBooks post. This from @pond_dipper looks gorgeous. The illustrations are divine and it's going to go down a treat in my classroom with anyone interested in the environment and plants. Going to spend some time reading ❤️

My #speciesoftheweek is the Sycamore tree (Acer pseudoplatanus) - native from the Pyrenees to the Balkans (now ‘naturalised in the UK). Its seeds fly like helicopter blades, so when we're having bad hair days, it's having excellent dispersal days. #plantoftheweek #trees #seeds
