We had a fantastic (and productive!) collecting foray last weekend. Thanks to all those who collected with us. Now it's time to process the specimens to add to the NEBS herbaria, which house collections from 1896 through present day - nearly 291,000 specimens and counting!

One of two goldenrods that share the name “showy” goldenrod, Solidago speciosa is a tall, handsome clumping form. The individual flowers are fairly large compared to other species. Native to scattered areas of Georgia and all over the eastern US, this is one of the earlier blooming species. (1/2)

Once you notice this, it's the most obvious double standard in the political press. Democrats have to answer for the smallest voice even if it has no actual tie to them, but Republicans never have to answer for the insanely racist billionaire donor driving their entire party.

Every host wasting time on this BS should be called out. (Welker in this case) Unless that host does "equal time" w every GOP figure on whether they stand w Paxton despite mounting fraud, w Trump despite claims Iran is 'small potatoes,' prices are down, etc And unlike HP, Paxton/Trump hold office!
