Yesterday I picked up a bag of subject material for the Nature Journaling Workshop @californiabotanicgarden. I can’t wait for Saturday! There’s still one spot open if you’d like to join us in closely observing and drawing these beautiful plants.

I’m teaching a virtual nature journaling workshop @californiabotanicgarden! See the repost below for details. Before the pandemic hit, we were getting ready for a workshop in the garden. Unfortunately we can’t gather in person. Now I’m aiming to not only teach techniques for documenting nature, but to inspire people to get outside. Nature journaling is a deeply meaningful way to connect to nature. Now more than ever, we need those connections to not only sustain ourselves, but to motivate us to make our society sustainable.

Working at a place like @rsabg, I’m lucky enough to meet (and be a small part of preserving) endangered plants like Ornithostaphylos oppositifolia (Baja birdbrush). The Flora of North America has this to say about these stately native shrubs: “Ornithostaphylos oppositifolia is known in the United States from a single mesa and adjacent slopes in the Tijuana Hills just north of the international border with Mexico in San Diego County. Only 103 individuals have been located on the United States side of the border, and the species is listed as endangered under the California Endangered Species Act. The population has been declining due to habitat fragmentation by roads and trails and disturbance caused by illegal border crossings and Border Patrol activities, including ‘brush’ clearing. Recently, the extensive disturbance caused by the building of a double border fence has dramatically affected the population, and its long-term survival is uncertain.” Plants don’t recognize our borders, but our activities along them have a huge impact on plants and their habitat. O. oppositifolia were here long before we drew those lines across the land. Is keeping specific groups of people on specific sides of arbitrary boundaries worth the harm we do in the process?

Fun at work this week: filing Brassicaceae into the collection and sowing Lupine seeds! I love it when I get to work in both the “dead” collection and the living collection. The herbarium collection is approaching 1.3 million dried and pressed specimens. I don’t know how many perennials are accessioned into the living collection. Many hundreds, I imagine! I’m hoping to learn more about how the living collection is managed in the coming months.

Fun at work last week creating Romneya coulteri (Matilija poppy) flower arrangements with paper flowers and live foliage. These were used as center pieces for a celebration of our many fantastic volunteers here at @rsabg - this place would be impoverished without them! The stunning beauty of Romneya coulteri is a perfect reflection of the vibrancy the volunteers bring to their work. If you are able, I highly recommend volunteering at your local botanic garden or arboretum! #RomneyaCoulteri #Romneya #Matilijapoppy #poppies #poppy #flowers #wildflowers #crafts #papercrafts #paperflowers #flowerarrangments #botanicalgarden #botanicgarden #rsabg #volunteer #celebrate #botany #botanize #plants #nativeplants (at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden)

Ants stealing a nectar snack from a Fremontodendron at the gardens! I didn’t see a label for this tree (and don’t have a Jepson handy ), so it could well be any of the three species in the genus: F. californicum, F. decumbens, or F. mexicanum. Known as California flannelbush, F. californicum grows in a diverse range of habitats in California, Arizona, and Baja California. F. decumbens and F. mexicanum have much narrower ranges- they’re endemic to the Sierra Nevada foothills and the Peninsular Ranges, respectively, and are federally listed as endangered (F. decumbens is listed as F. californicum ssp. decumbens in ECOS). These stunning trees are cultivated as ornamentals, so this particular plant could even be a hybrid. #Malvaceae #Fremontodendron #flannelbush #nativeplants #plantnatives #california #wildflowers #floweringtrees #ornamentalplants #ranchosantaanabotanicgarden #botanicgarden #botanicalgarden #ants #nectar #orange #yellow (at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden)

larapaulussen:

Was in the mood to draw a botanic garden ✌ I especially love old greenhouses. There is something about the idea of indoor jungles that really fascinates me and whenever i visit a new city i sure have to visit the local botanic garden #nature #illo #drawing #illustrationgram #instaillustration #womenofillustration #illustrationart #instaart #botanicgarden #greenhouse #plants #jungle #digitalart #illustree #picame #illustratorsoninstagram

Dreaming of botanical gardens, its so long since I last visited one
