#OTD (June 13 OS), #Linnaeus rode from Persnäs to Gaxa where Argentina anserina (silverweed/gåsört) & Senecio vulgaris (groundsel/korsört) grew on beach.; cinnabar moth (karminspinnare) caterpillars were feeding on the latter. https://t.co/c28r3KDjGe
#OTD (May 26 OS), #Linnaeus was shown #stinkhorn (#Phallus impudicus; a scarce #fungus found in #Småland by a local doctor). Boys were eating #Pinus sylvestris #sapwood as a snack; he extolled its virtues as a #medicinal plant. Then he saw #nightjars (#Caprimulgus europaeus).
Anders Dahl–died #OTD 1789, aged 38–was interested in botany from an early age & co-founded The Swedish Topographic Society in Skara. The dahlia was named after him, an honour wrongly thought to have been bestowed on him by Carl Linnaeus of whom he was a pupil.
#OTD (May 19 OS/30 NS), #Linnaeus stayed in #Norrköping (no horses) - but still listed #plants! He saw factories for #sugar (#sugarcane), cloth (#Dipsacus; #Serratula/#Reseda/#Arctostaphylos/#dyeplants) & #tobacco (#Nicotiana). #Fritillaria, #Primula & #Portulaca in gardens.
#OTD (May 17 OS/28 NS, 1741) in Nyköping, #Linnaeus focused on industry in (flour, paper, rolling mills; brass foundery), herbal remedies (#Rhododendron tomentosum - against #lice) and #poisonousplants (#Oenanthe) #economicbotany

One-shot #dndcharacter Rendan Flinnack, trying hard to market and sell his badly tasting brew. Originally a battlemaster but feel like it doesn't suit his fluff and visuals.

(Very sadisfying Linnala here :) )
"She became an artist just so she could paint pictures of caterpillars & butterflies, & her images were so accurate that Carl Linnaeus later used them to name species." #wcw #WomensHistoryMonth
(Incidentally, both Sauvages and Linnaeus appear to have been acting on a suggestion of the great English physician Thomas Sydenham, who wrote that...
Victoria Åberg (Finnish-German painter) 1824 - 1892
Näköala Olavinlinnaan (A View over the Castle Olavinlinna), 1864.
@0ouna is knocking it outta the park with this set. I wanted something a bit more "traditional fantasy" for Linna to wear beyond the borders of the desert. The satchel was an afterthought but it looking quite fashionable and Oouna had even made it fit me comfortably!
A "-arthur's voice- Linnay Boah!" for my art trade with @ghostsjogging I hope you like! ; u;
