Twinflower, Linnaea borealis (Linnaeaceae). 🌸🌸 These cuties are named in honor of Swedish Botanist Carl Linnaeus, the “father of modern taxonomy”. He invented binomial nomenclature, the method we use to classify organisms with a genus and species. #twinflower #linnaeaborealis #linnaeaceae #plants #botany #plantid #plantidentification #pnw #plantsofinstagram (at Tiger Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/BydRwi0guf8/?igshid=ybcppyo2vy66

#plantsofthepacificnorthwest Day 11. Twinflower (Linnaea borealis). I love the name of this one because it reminds me of Aurora borealis (though borealis just means 'northern'). Apparently it was named after Linnaeus, the 'father of taxonomy' as it was his favourite flower. It also has a very fragrant perfume, but I have yet to smell it. #PNW #pnwplants #westcoast #Vancouver #dr #illustration #botanical #botanicalillustration #ink #twinflower #linnaeaborealis #30dayproject
