Would like to press these a bit longer since I was bit short on time. Still, very cool specimens 🙂

Hi Chloe –
These ARE very cool specimens! I really like that you were able to capture some flowers from the Feijoa. I’ve only ever seen the fruits.
Just a note on scientific naming: the order is Genus species author, and author is often abbreviated. So in your first plate, the scientific name is Vitis vinifera L. (botanists know that L. stands for Linnaeus, because he named so many taxa). When you include the Family name (nicely done, btw), it can go in the line before the scientific name, and doesn’t need to be in parentheses.
Your pressing looks good, your presentation is good (vegetative and reproductive parts), the labels are precise and accurate… I can’t ask for much more!
Great job!
