Cissampelos Pareira L.Today we mounted our specimens that we collected in Belize. It was a very enjoyable activity - a pleasant combination of art and science. They will (hopefully) be in the Edinburgh herbarium as long as it's around.

WOW! Those look beautiful! I have never seen plants displayed like that before.
P.S. Tobie and I like to think of ourselves as a nice combination of Art and Science as well... :P
Miss you guys!
P.S What are ye doing for reading week?
how'd ya get them through customs?
With an export permit. Actually one of our instructors stayed behind for 3 days to get it all sorted it out, so the process is still a mystery to me. As far as I can tell getting stuff into the UK is not difficult. They seem to welcome exotic species with open arms. Though these dried plants did spend 3 days in the freezer upon their return, before being let loose in the herbarium.
