G Young Kim @gykim.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Stay warm everyone! As temperature drops down, our Opuntia humifusa plants are all laid down to get ready for the winter! 🍂 1112

G Young Kim @gykim.bsky.social · 27/10/2023I 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 ;( 081

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. 0225
