What the Irish BSBI members are up to...

There are some great photographs of plants and people on the new Facebook page set up by Irish BSBI members, including this one (right) showing one of the Irish botanists and what looks like a pyramidal orchid.

The Irish BSBI Facebook page is an ideal way to keep up-to-date with all things botanical in Ireland, and Irish Officer Maria Long is obviously doing a great job organising field meetings in some stunning locations... 

Attendance figures at their field meetings are pretty impressive, and it's great to hear more about what the Irish botanists are up to. Especially as (apart from some final paperwork) we are now almost the Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland. 

And don't forget the original BSBI Facebook page - link via the homepage on the website or here. Here's to a blossoming of botanical activity on all our islands!
