    Hey Ferdy is it OK if I add a few phone shots like this, when they're species intros? Trying to reduce my editing workload, I took a lot of phone shots of plants on this trip, unless they were species I was really interested in. Posted one year ago

      It's absolutely fine, there's no gear requirements at all and I can only agree that smartphones are excellent at capturing plants. Posted one year ago

The Spiny Bear's-Breech

"Acanthus spinosus", the spiny bear's breech, is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae, native to southern Europe, from Italy to western Turkey. It is an herbaceous perennial growing to 150 cm tall by 60–90 cm wide. The deeply cut leaves have spiny margins, and in early summer it bears erect, 1 m long racemes of white flowers with maroon bracts.
