Show Notes

When I was making the “dried seed to collect for display” list for you I should have said “screwbean mesquite beans”, not “seed,” but the twisty twirly clusters of beans that hold the seed. You probably already have those on a shelf, right? Also, can you believe I forgot wild cotton, Gossypium thurberi? Talk about cool pods! Well, to be continued. Hey, the photos are mine. That is some dry Dysphania graveolens that my partner, lover, significant other, Marian put in a gourd vase. I love the pine needle collar she wove around the top of that gourd.
