What a beautiful calendar. I'll see if I can find a place that can print it out for me. You guys have any new years resolutions? Mine is to get into photography a bit more in-depth.

A belated greeting from the plant hunter George Sherriffs - just shown in a 'tweet' made by Leonie Paterson from the SRGC archive held at RBGE - Primula valentiniana from 1938
Thought folks may be interested in another "tweet" from Leonie Paterson at the RBGE - "Primula valentinana in Sherriff's Christmas card was named after this man - Pere Valentin who offered substantial support & assistance to collectors in China like Handel-Mazzetti who named the plant, & to George Forrest & his collectors - photo by Forrest @TheBotanics, Nov 1917."
