Instagram selfie leads to discovery of new giant waterlily species

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA man took a selfie in a Colombian lagoon, captioned it with the wrong species, and ended up a co-author in a scientific journal.

2. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJeremiah Harris wrote Victoria amazonica. A waterlily expert at Kew noticed the river lies outside that plant's known range.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWith us is Marisol Yeatman, an abundance coach. Ms. Yeatman, did you manifest this?

4. MY

   Marisol YeatmanYes. I called this in, and I want that on the record. I called it in on the twenty-eighth of October.

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is tomorrow. The paper is in Phytotaxa, and the new species is Victoria colombiana.

6. MY

   Marisol YeatmanTime is a loop, Gloria. This jar holds lagoon water I have personally charged.

7. MY

   Marisol YeatmanHarris was wrong with total commitment, and that is a method I teach.

8. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSo the wrong label helped.

9. MY

   Marisol YeatmanThe universe corrected him, to be exact. I called that in on the thirtieth.

10. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorResearchers say only thirty to fifty plants remain in the wild. They plan to seek a critically endangered label. Did your jar help with that?

11. MY

    Marisol YeatmanThe jar is a partner in this.

12. MY

    Marisol YeatmanI called in the leaves too, which are visible from space, and I called that in on the first of November.

13. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe leaves reach six point six feet across. You are still getting later.

14. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVerdict: one wrong caption, zero credit to the jar.

15. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMs. Yeatman, the plant was photographed in twenty twenty-one. You called it in next week. The lily has the better paperwork.
