#pressings

nasturtiums, lavender, daisy leaves, violas

Some hasty pictures I snapped from the Western Australian Herbarium during a short tour of the facility. These are among the oldest specimens at the herbarium, with some of them almost 250 years old, like the Eucalyptus platyphylla. I was astounded to learn that some of these specimens were collected during James Cook’s First Voyage of Discovery in Australia, from 1768 to 1771, yet they look as though they only recently been pressed and preserved. This is a true testament to having proper equipment and storage facilities, which the Herbarium is very well-versed in. I very much enjoyed this experience, and hope one day that my specimens can look as good as these when I begin my own personal herbarium.

I pressed some leaves a couple weeks ago 🌿

irises and larger grape leaves needed to go back for a second drying, but everything else is being packed away for future use :)
