Slowing down a bit

The next few weeks will be rather crowded: five weeks of teaching, a small conference and a phylogenomics workshop are all coming up, and seminars and committee meetings are looming. Things will become mellower the last week of August, but until then I will be hard pressed to write a lot of long blog posts. Expect the continued regular posting of botany pictures and a few shorter posts but nothing profound.

And because it is my daughter's birthday today, here's a nice picture from her namesake plant genus:

Presumably Viola hederacea (Violaceae), New South Wales, 2012.
