Good. I'm looking forward to this! And shall be cross referencing my copy of Keble Martin's 'Concise British Flora' (15 shillings in 1966 or so) properly arranged by plant families
I really enjoy how clearly and engagingly you describe and explain your world and your work Anne, thank you! I had a marginal role in the creation of a new flora in south west England some decades ago (though I'm not a biologist) and it was a life-enhancing experience! But that might not surprise you! If you're interested and have 20 minutes or so to spare you can read about it here! https://lizmilner.blog/2014/01/31/photographic-employment-4-natural-history/
“I could make plant family profiles with star species and underdog species in the Alps, and what is it about that particular -aceae gestalt, and whatever other fun evolutionary and ecological facts spring up. I could even write plant family poetry (something I’ve been wanting to do for years)!”
Yes, please! Look forward to reading this already.

Oh yes, Keble Martin ... my wife and I probably bought our copies in 1966 too. Happy days.
To say nothing of Clapham, Tutin and Warberg
Excellent!

Thanks so much for sharing that, I’m quite jealous actually!
Lovely feedback to get, thank you! And ooh how cool!
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I can image your excitement when you got your hands on the Flora Alpina.
Hehe very glad to hear that!
Exciting! Can't wait for the new series.
🥳
