Stay warm everyone! As temperature drops down, our Opuntia humifusa plants are all laid down to get ready for the winter! 🍂

Oh look, another CAM system entering our lab 😅 @gykim.bsky.social (Shout-out to the Native Plant Trust for sourcing these plants!)

I was mounting some algae specimens and the collection manager found this tiny brittle star (correct me if I’m wrong!) 🥹 so cute but couldn’t stop thinking about this poor thing suffered in a dryer ;(

Love me some Peperomia leaf cross sections. Look at that chonky epidermis*! *I don't know off the top of my head if this succulent tissue is really derived from epidermis or ground tissue, but I always thought epi. Either way it's juicy.

Photo of a cross section through a peperomia leaf stained blue with Toluidine blue. A large layer of succulent epidermis is on top, followed by a narrow band of palisade mesophyll and lots of large spongy mesophyll cells.
