Watch: In a tree-mendous story of survival, horticulturists at the National Arboretum have successfully cloned Stumpy, a stunted and gnarled cherry tree at Tidal Basin that became an unlikely social media celebrity before being cut down earlier this year.

Watch: Brussels' famous flower carpet has been laid in the city's UNESCO-protected Grand Place. But in a break with tradition, this year it is mainly composed of dahlias.

Always happy to help! @john_sinnett also helped @UMDArchives add to list of #Terp Olympians we maintain on MAC to Millennium: exhibitions.lib.umd.edu/macm… Check out Letter O!
Very appreciative of this recognition! But we had a great group who worked on all the assets and coverage we rolled out: @merovetto, @beccaferrina, @dipaularose, @j__rodriguez27, @TaylorSmyth10, @TheRealPFisch, & Kenzie Mulvihill! Special thanks to @AnneTurkos as well!
I despaired of ever finishing this jigsaw puzzle, but I stuck with it, & after almost 3 months, I put in the last piece this morning. Don't work on a puzzle for much time each day. Too many other projects, so hard ones take a LONG time! Definitely the hardest one I've ever done!
