N for Nature Notes

My blog is a stream of consciousness. A blatant outlet for my thoughts, which may drop like a stone into a pool or be fished out by a kind passer by.  And just to add a note that many of my entries are musing on plants and nature. Despite having a degree and masters in this sort of thing I’m very much an amateur when it comes to identification. So I’m on a quest to improve my knowhow on a few fronts… including botany.   I'm currently doing a really wonderful course with Ashmoleum Natural History Society.  It's focussed and academic and so elevating.  Its introducing me to an array of new vocabulary that I have to try to ram into my dry old brain - such as zygomorphic, tepals, calyx...and lots of others I now can't remember!
