The second will be online and free--Yellowstone (National Park) Science. It will be up in October, and I'm sure I'll post about it ;-)<br /><br />A book?! seems beyond my abilities at this point ... but who knows<br />best wishesHollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-50134764447705167692017-08-22T02:48:48.485-06:002017-08-22T02:48:48.485-06:00That's very exciting.

That's the kind of writing I like, and blogging is great practice, a place to try things out. I know my writing has improved because of blogging. Btw, I had several pieces accepted this year :-)Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-27354480132774476722017-08-18T02:00:36.966-06:002017-08-18T02:00:36.966-06:00Your research, as always, is impeccable and far-ra...Your research, as always, is impeccable and far-ranging - and great to read. I always liked how in the 'olden days' that a lot of doctors would also be botanists. I guess in those days knowing a plant and what it looked like was important so you're treating the patient with the correct medicine (although I have read books with examples of doctors who had no idea and just bought whatever the herbalist was selling - reminds me today of doctors and drug companies, but I won't get into that!).<br />I was really interested to read about the tagging project too.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06363592883349241096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-84590307405185835912017-08-12T20:11:14.088-06:002017-08-12T20:11:14.088-06:00Thank you, Pat!

I agree -- Coromandel sounds so romantic, the promise of exotic adventure :-) Thanks considering the Flickr images, if you have any questions please ask. Of course the challenge is finding time. Too many neat things to do in this world!

I recall the w...Well, how fascinating was all that!<br />I recall the words "nux vomica" from something I read as a child - probably Arthur Mee's Children's Encyclopedia, but I hadn't heard it for years.<br />Isn't the word "Coromandel" romantic?<br />Isn't it just typical those native artists did all the work for no credit!<br />I will definitely have a look at those Flickr images - your tagging work is so worthwhile.<br />I often wonder how we found out plants were poisonous. There must have been a lot of mistakes on the way. And isn't it amazing that even a poison can cure certain snake bites.<br />Thank you so much for another great contribution to our knowledge of trees!<br />All the best :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
