Ladybirds getting frisky in the spring sunshine.

Visiting Gävle this weekend for the inauguration of the Gävle goat, a giant replica of a Nordic Christmas decoration. It has become infamous after multiple goats have succumbed to arson since the first was erected in 1966. A second goat has been built nearby by high school students since 1986 and I found this still being built as I went to dinner.

The national flower of #Sweden is the Campanula rotundifolia. In England we know it by its common name of Harebell, but in Sweden it is the Liten Blåklocka, or Little Bluebell. Found these on a forest walk near Uppsala. Botanising in a different country really highlights how Linnaeus’ system of classification revolutionised #botany, as #botanists from all over the world can now be confident that they are talking about the same plant, no matter what it is called in their own locality.

@feditips Is there any way to see all the posts containing a particular hashtag? I seem to only be able to see a very small subset when I search, even though I know there are posts on other servers that mine is federated with.
