This beautiful native Peperomia hanging out front of our apartment always makes me smile! This was grown from a tiny cutting, a gift from the lovely Sharon and Russell at Limpinwood Garden Nursery.

🔎🌿🟡 March iNaturalist NZ — Mātaki Taiao report: 185 observations and the highest number of infections reported this season. Luckily, we're likely to see fewer infections as the weather cools. #MyrtaceaeMonday bit.ly/3q0f7eN

Bec Degnan sharing amazing work on how use of dsRNA treatments can prevent severe #MyrtleRust symptoms when applied both pre-infection and post-infection! These early findings have implications for ex situ collections of rust affected spp. 👏 #AMRC2023

The #myrtlerust community is deeply collaborative and supportive one - and that is exactly what will be needed to save our endemic Myrtaceae species in Aoteoroa and Aus. Feeling incredibly grateful and freshly inspired after a successful #AMRC2023

What a beautiful city Zürich is!! I had a wonderful few days visiting the fantastic Cécile Lorrain and her group at ETH Zurich - I can't say enough good things about my visit! Thanks for hosting me Cécile, and I can't wait to work together in the future.
