An Eye for Plants: Dr Margaret Bradshaw and the Special Flora of Teesdale

Plant blindness is our tendency to overlook and undervalue the plants around us. Dr Margaret Bradshaw champions doing the opposite. If anyone can encourage us to overcome plant blindness, it's Margaret.
A passionate botanist, Margaret has studied and campaigned for the protection of the rare flora of Teesdale, in England's County Durham, for over seven decades. And at 97, she has no plans of stopping.
In this short film she urges us to take a closer look at what's beneath our feet and treasure the often unnoticed flora around us.

This is the way these things work these days. There is the article in the Guardian. That triggers attention, and you immediately wonder about how such an active senior citizen would be like. And for the rest, you simply wish to have been blessed with similar genes, so might be on your feet at such a high age as well. Of course, this made my day.
