This is some highkey nerd shit that I honestly don’t talk about much 🙈 But getting into botany has changed my life and this summer especially I‘ve seen some really incredible plants/habitats. I visited an “extreme rich fen” ecosystem here in CO last month that is home to 14 rare plant species - and I got to see most of them! 🥲 Pictured below is Primula egaliksensis which only grows in two places in the contiguous U.S.
Anyways highly rec wandering around outside in remote, beautiful places to look for plants. It has given me a whole other level of awareness and appreciation for the land I call home 💞
