Gorgeous @scarf1, and it’s not even blue

Thanks to @HermesEchidna for your thoughtful intro to today's biodiversity theme.

While reading about Carl Linnaeus I couldn't help but to be reminded about my L'Intrus scarf full of birds surrounded by their scientific names. Sisters with many of you on this fabulous design!

Birds were what drew me to biology thanks to a teacher who was an avid birdwatcher and Audubon member. For a class assignment we had to spot 20 different birds for an "A" and I totally took that challenge to heart. Years later I met a guy who also liked birdwatching and he became my DH. We've been bird watching together for 30 years now.

One of our bird nerd specialties is trying to find birds whose genus and species names are the same, such as Sula sula for the Red-footed booby and the Pica pica, which is a magpie. There's a whole list of them here: http://www.birdwatching.com/tips/tautonyms.html

Gorgeous cw!

Today’s STEM inspired scarf: the Index Palmarum cashmere with an antique cameo pin subbing for my scarf ring. The story behind the scarf: This naturalistic scarf by Katie Scott was inspired by the pages and botanical plates of the Historia Naturalis Palmarum, a 19th century treatise on palms by the German botanist, ethnographer and explorer Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius.

Love this idea! Must try it!!

Still on the Gelogie/Minerauz/Cristals theme ia Pierres et Mineraux from the archives:
The necklace is Dioptase Crystals (an extremely rare Copper cyclosilicate mineral) from Namibia.
Apparently Dioptase is a vibrant talisman of the heart that can help one relinquish extremely sensitive emotions such as grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-hate. I just thought it was beautiful when I bought it from a Swakopmund jewelry store

@HermesEchidna, I love, love your thorough, detailed, insightful, and enriching introductions on this week's theme. I thought I would have nothing to contribute as technology, engineering, and mathematics are foreign to me, but today's sub-theme, natural history, taxonomy, and biodiversity, are at the very center of my professional and personal life. I also very much enjoyed @EtsyBoss's display of primates on scarves (congratulations on your research and I bet we have a few acquaintances in common! ).

Presenting yesterday's special (as in special edition!) scarf mail and my SOTD, a biological inventory of Singapore. I also have the blue one which I thought would be a forever placeholder because I never imagined getting my hand on the SE (now need to rehome because of the "no multiples" rule). This appeared at the Singapore branch of a French auction house over the holidays, a "buy-now" (below current retail price!!!) item, which sounded like "buy immediately" to me! So happy!

I do not have that many biodiversity scarves and I was trying to figure out why this morning. I think it is because I also opt for a more poetic, whimsical style, rather than a classic illustrative one. More Shirley than Dallet, more Pythéas than Shackleton (but I'd gladly accept both, thank you very much!). Below are my Bengal tiger, South African proteas, and various birds. I am sure we can identify the species by going through Jeff Fisher's book on birds, with scientific names and history.View attachment 5932647View attachment 5932658

Amazing and so beautiful on you. Congratulations!

Adore this design and this is a wonderful CW



Such an amazing CW! I saw it IRL at the store and was mesmerized by all the subtle tonalities


Great post! And, what a way to expand the topic to myriad possibilities!



One of the most beautiful white based scarves ever produced by H



Aha! Well, this works! Looks amazing on you and your baby resembles our Ponki a lot… except we call him our “tiger”



You looks amazing! Positively elegant



What a great post! Love the way you expanded on the theme here!


Great post! Perfect one for the week and such a lovely pendant with it!


Patchwork Horse never fails! Such a great CW



Great story and great silks!



Love this design and this is a glorious CW



I’ve always admired this CW


Haha! That is a great story and a wonderful design!



Ha! Good one! Love them all but especially the Monsieur et Madame CSGM… I own the same CW in the 90


Great twilly… You look amazing!

Gorgeous! I love this Planifleurs.



Another epic black and white scarf! I must learn this knot.



Gosh this is pretty! Such nice colors!



Beautiful and cozy! Somehow this pattern and colorway is just perfect for snow, I don’t know why.



Oh I really like this combo of colors. It reminds me of a maxi twilly or muffler that I’ve been looking at.


Beautiful acquisition! Congrats!

Beautiful Patchwork Horse and absolutely perfect with that lovely jacket @Croisette7!

These are wonderful (as was the story!) @FizzyWater -- I have my eye on that Hemispharium...and sisters on the Feux du Ciel, which I adore. I lost my quote on your Glitch but always love seeing that rare design!

This is so beautiful on you and looks amazing with your plaid shirt @Nomad! Perfect for a winter-y day...

A beautiful Flaneries @Agrume!

The perfect scarf for a wonderful date narrative @Redbirdhermes!

You are so good at tying CSGMs in unexpected ways @Snausages! And clever with the ex-ray theme on this. That is my favorite cw of the 90 in this design...

Congratulations on the performance review and the new scarf @violetkool!

You found a theme-appropriate twilly for sure @LaurenHermesLover-- very cute.


Love these! Especially your two Monet Lugo's -- old and new-- lovely to see them side-by side as it were. And thank you-- it was fun to figure out a theme connection for Tohu Bohu @Living.la.vida.fifi!

Thank you @Jereni!

All three are lovely but you look adorable in your on-theme bandana @Mary Ann G!

It is gorgeous with that deep blue sky and fab hem @MabelJo-- can never see enough. I may puill out mine this week too, twin!


Fantastic examples of scarves that feature taxonomies/classifications @HermesEchidna! Beautiful SOTD as well.

Wow! Fantastic pattern-mixing @violetool!

Your happy, joyous mod shots always add a smile to my morning coffee @GloWW0rM -- but I can't express it better than @textilegirl already has! This pink CU shawl is so playful and wonderful and clearly suit you perfectly.

What a beautiful Flaçons, @Croisette7! Congratulations on finding this lovely serene cw...

What a find @lanit! So very beautiful. Though I would be terrified of losing the beads wearing it!


Thank you @Karenska-- yes, that would be us-- aspiring Hermesologists, right?

Lovely and perfect for a museum visit! I am glad you enjoyed the Sargent and had a chance to see it. My sister was also there on Friday of the final weekend. Loved it just as much. Your bottom photo os one of my cws @Karenska!

Thank you, Fifi, Jereni and LKBNOLA!

SOTD was Zebra Pegasus, an interesting hybrid species from a scientific perspective.

Lovely scarf and another great nerd love story. Thank you for sharing those and the list - I totally get your shared interest!- Me and a collegue also collect sci double names like Gulo gulo and Bufo bufo. My favourite (and totally misleading) bird name is Troglodytes troglodytes dont know if there is one on Intrus?

love this whole outfit!!

A chemical engineer by training, my background is in oil & gas exploitation. The scarf is Geologie & contains various fossils of shells including an ammonite as the centre motif. This scarf was a grail of mine and took almost 10 years to track down. A reseller in my city found one but not in my preferred cw so we couldn't agree on a price - and she really wanted to keep it for herself since HER husband was a geologist (with vanity plates that said as such on their SUV - LOL). The condition of the 1st cw was listed as "good" & it had spots & pulls - but never-the-less I scooped it up. The 2nd one was pristine and had been issued for the 1980 Geological Congress in Paris.

Oh my, what treasures! Congratulations on a long but succesful Hunt. 🤩

More architectural drawings on Le Petit Duc today. (A 140 is perfect since it is freezing here!) View attachment 5931314

I love this color combo. So elegant. And it is a very elegant scarf in general!

Starting off with a design that has everything! Le Tour du Monde… too many examples to highlight for this week, especially a ton of architectural ones

Speaking of which, the planning and building of the Chateau of Versailles was possible due to a refined usage of technology and engineering

Azulejos is another perfect example for this week’s theme. The design’s style mimics the ubiquitous Portuguese tiles of the title. At the center there is a compass surrounded by ships in a harbor, ships in a harbor are depicted. Every corner is decorated with a nautical still-life of charts, compasses, astrolabes, parallel rulers, quadrants and globes.

Another wonderful post! I do so like Azulejos. And that Versailles is stunning!

Oh we are twins on this (I actually have it in two colorways, plus a silk 90). I really enjoy this scarf and the message behind it.

Seems like most kiddos start off loving trains, planes and dinosaurs. I never outgrew my love of dinosaurs

SOTD Arrrrrgh!
View attachment 5932723

Amazing on you.

Today I'm again following the lead of our intrepid guest scarf mistress and chose a scarf that reflects biodiversity. The Gardens of Sintra in Portugal have plant species from all over the world, and they are organized by geographic areas according to their origins.

View attachment 5932748

My scarf of the day is Jardin a Sintra. Many thanks to @HermesEchidna for her amazing leadership this week.

View attachment 5932749

Wow — what a stunning photo of the garden. You look great with this colorway.

A quick hello from the office with my off-theme Axis Mundi. Inspired by the moussie-licious @bunnycat View attachment 5932756

Ohhhhhhh I have never seen this cw before. Very cool.

SOTD is Grande Théâtre Nouveau…. This would have been a better fit for the ‘architecture day’ but ah well. Also, brrrr!!!

View attachment 5932770

Such wonderful colors, and your outfits is perfect for it.

Here are 2 scarfs that fit the STEM theme: From the Mens Collex - the 1st is Memoire Vive. This scarf represents a circuit board with the carriage & driver illustrated with dots. This scarf is silk & cotton blend, which although it creases easily is very comfortable to wear. Pls excuse selfies as I have just started to do them, my phone is cheap (really only for emergencies) & am crap at selfies. Sorry I couldn't find a flat photo off the internet - the scarf would be a welcome addition for an IT professional or an electrical engineer (male or female )
Memoire Vive

Here is Des Chevaux Sous Le Capot, which according to Dr. Google translates as "Horses Under the Hood". It is full of mechanical gears & such. It is one of my favourite CSGMs and is atypical for the mens cashmere/silk as it is a 140 carre.

The scarf is great, but the necklace is just fabulous!

I have a cold and feel iffy. So here are two no-makeup-(except for lipstick in one case)-feeling miserable photos. The Crystals one is on topic, the La Rosee is just because I love the design.

Lovely scarf and another great nerd love story. Thank you for sharing those and the list - I totally get your shared interest!- Me and a collegue also collect sci double names like Gulo gulo and Bufo bufo. My favourite (and totally misleading) bird name is Troglodytes troglodytes dont know if there is one on Intrus?

On closer examination of my scarf, it turns out that they are not the scientific names of the birds but rather their names in French!

Thank you @HermesEchidna, @Nomad, @LKBNOLA (I come from a long line of avid gardeners, I'm pretty sure my love for plants and gardens is in my bones) @Living.la.vida.fifi, and @Jereni for the sweet comments on my Planifleurs. I will try to do it justice the next time I wear it!

Thanks to all for your kind loves and likes.
