My name is Dorothy and I will be starting my third year at UAF studying wildlife biology this fall. I am originally from southern Indiana and am there this summer interning at a national wildlife refuge &#8211; I am overwhelmed with greenness, flowers, and fruit down here! I have been interested and have learned a lot about the trees, native plants, and crops of the midwest since childhood, but I will never forget the awe I felt when stepping onto the tundra for the first time and seeing all of the variety of life that can grow up there, as well. I&#8217;ve learned so much from friends about plants in Alaska since moving up here and I am excited to learn even more in this class. I have a vegetable garden and lots of landscaping (soooo much weeding to be done&#8230;) and love nothing more than berry stains on my fingers from collecting various Rubus around the woods edge. My favorite plant is the Ginkgo biloba. The maidenhair &#8211; there is something so magical about seeing its leaves twist in the wind and knowing it is such an ancient plant. I am excited to learn with you all this summer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/introtoflora.community.uaf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/766\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-22-152421-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6523\" style=\"width:214px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/introtoflora.community.uaf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/766\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-22-153256.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6524\" style=\"width:181px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/introtoflora.community.uaf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/766\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-22-161732.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6527\" style=\"width:225px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
