Small Story- Big Life: The Giant Sequoia
Snapshot Story~Trees, Forests, and Woods

Small Story- Big Life: The Giant Sequoia

Sliced lives; inconspicuous and dormant. Human events read out loud from timelines imprinted across dead tissues. As the skin of others gathers in these crevasses of plant history; quiet trees become silent. Until the conservator cleans off the years and awakens the giant within.   […]

Pitcher plant mania

The shape and the colors are beautiful. And eerie, somehow. Or is that only because I know that they capture and eat insects! I saw this plant in the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida. I would love to see one in real life.It […]

  • This 18 year old beauty lost almost all its leaves about 2 months ago! Happy now and growing lots of babies.  I think it’s a kind of Euphorbia?? It gave me a nice welt a few years ago when I had to wrestle it out of one pot and into another. Struck me with a kind of sticky white glue. If anyone can help identify, I’d be grateful!
