   Some booksellers and others, including the University of Hawaii press are offering large discounts. Got me two copies of Dr. Hodel's Lolou book (about Prichardtias) for 40% off. https://www.uhawaiipress.com/books.aspx

   No doubt a few mature members are familiar with his name, but just how well-known is the story of this extraordinary "good guy" figure in US culture? More "Boys Own" stuff again, I'm afraid. Sorry ladies! http://www.freerepub...ws/957612/posts

    S.D.S. in the " other " Pima canyon, Pt. #3 Tough lessons in resilience and responsibility among scorched earth

    • 336 views

    As mentioned, aside from spending time looking for various plants while here, another " item " on the days menu was getting up close with the post- fire effects of a large fire that charred a majority of the Catalina Mountains, including parts of Pima Canyon itself. While this particular conflagration started naturally ( by lightning during a brief, dry Thunderstorm passing overhead ) the fire's subsequent spread and effect on the landscape were enhanced by an on going change in the composition of plants in the landscape, partially spurred by humans, and on larger, going changes which themselves are being enhanced by us. While i'll try to keep this discussion as cont…

    Homes ..from Seaweed??

    Another interesting video discussing the potential of " Making lemonade out of lemons " from a smelly and highly annoying Seaweed that seems to be creating more issues across the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean in recent years.. Enjoy that the inventor is a humble human being who is spreading his wealth w/ out any attached expectations. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-bricks-made-from-invasive-seaweed-clean-mexicos-beaches-2023-7 Would be interesting to evaluate how a single story, 1500sq ft model home made of these blocks withstands hurricanes in the Cat. 3-5 range, let alone how well they stand up to floodwaters, fire, and / or other pressing natural disas…

    I'm willing to give to someone who can make good use of it. Was my daily-driver, but has suffered a couple of unintended off-road excursions (Loxahatchee and somewhere near Tampa...). Just recently sucked a valve, so it's not worth repairing for me. But lots of good nursery memories hauling plants and soil mixes across SoFla. Truck is currently is San Fernando Valley, CA w/Florida tags that just lapsed on 04 Feb. Ecology Wreckers didn't want to pick it up for $100, and I can't afford to get it impounded from where it's parked. I may be able to get it towed locally here w/AAA. Send me a PM if you think you can use it, preferably for some use other than getting rid …

    Watering my palms with hot water by mistake

    • 336 views

    I had extended my garden hose from a 25' long hose to 100' long in order to wash my car over the weekend and I forgot to change it back. Because of this the long 100' hose was left exposed laying on the driveway and was in full hot Florida sun for hours. I picked up the hose this afternoon and began to water the plants (some of them palms), I didn't realize the water from the hose was very hot until very late when I touched the hose to shift it's position. It was very hot, not quite boiling hot but very hot. I immediately water everything again once the hot water in the hose was all expelled. Did I do any damage to my plants by watering them with this hot wat…
