can't think of a better way to start my bluesky account than a shout-out to the 2025 Tropical Ferns and Lycophytes cohort. So honored to have been part of this enthusiastic community of fern lovers. Thanks to all teachers, classmates, and OTS, and to the ferns and streams of Costa Rica #buenhelechos
