Had a lovely morning at the Victorian Carnivorous Plant Society annual show with PhD students Jack Manera and Jessica Zhou. We spent most of our time loitering at the sales tables deciding what plants to buy.

Saddened to learn of the passing of Prof Kai Lindström (Åbo Akademi, Finland). Kai was a fantastic scientist, colleague, supervisor and mentor. Kai was smart and kind and charismatic. A real charmer, he had the most cheeky grin. He will be deeply missed. 💔
