Compliments

I can be acused of "angkat bakul" when I said I am sad if my students do not make use of my Flickr stream because it was painstakingly built over the years and it wsa so well named that it has become referal point for many. Here is an email from one of my follower, copied verbatim to prove my point:

"Your work is really world class quality. Benefit a lot when browsing through your photo page. Especially those flora's ID"

Amaranthaceae

Detail flowers of Amaranthaceae is here (click on the photo to see more in flickr):

Fagales

Remember Fagales (Hamamelidae)?

I have a photo and a note on it in Flickr. There might be a quiz in the next class

Go and read.

Who is the student of Linnaeus?

I mentioned in the class how I wish you all would read writings of History Prof. Dr. Arjo J. Vanderjagt from University of Groningen, publish his ideas and photos in Flickr by the name of Rana Pipien. His site has full of botanical discovery stories.

His recent posting involved the Dahlia flower named after one of Carl Linne famous student. The link is here:

I enjoy reading this piece want all of you read this story (as well as other stories by him) and I will have a quiz in the class after raya.

Enjoy it.

To NX2022 students who have not sent me the CD for the photo project, please do so by the exam day. You can hand it over to me or by compiling it with others in a single CD.
