I&#8217;m Kendall, I was born and raised in Fairbanks, and i&#8217;m going to be going on my 3rd year at UAF next year, but I am taking 5 years to graduate because I will be getting degrees in psychology and biology! I want to specialize\/ focus on plant biology\/Alaskan flora within my biology degree, so this class is just perfect! Can&#8217;t wait to become fluent in botanical language and be able to identify all the things I come across on my runs and hikes and skis across Alaska and the US! I cross country run and ski for UAF and admire plenty of plants along the way, so that is the extent of my plant knowledge and experience thus far! A pretty fun fact about me is that I have 14 tattoos, and most of them are botanicals that represent my friends and family&#8217;s favorite plants! Here is a tour: (I tried to find the botanical nomenclature terminology for each specific plant, but I may have made a few mistakes and would more than welcome any corrections!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/introtoflora.community.uaf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/766\/2022\/06\/IMG_1929-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4082\" width=\"186\" height=\"330\" \/><figcaption>Northwestern Lady fern (<strong><em>Athyrium filix-femina<\/em><\/strong>(L.)) is my favorite plant!
