Aww thanks Kathleen, and I salute you in your perseverance to combat plant blindness! Other stuff is cool too but plants are definitely underrated!

These are beautiful, Anne! Even jaw-dropping (at least that's the effect they had on me). The pictures bring the words to life. And the phylogeny is absolutely amazing! What a perfect way to acknowledge Earth Day. Thank you for sharing these!

Such lovely poetry Anne! And I do so love that these poems are all about plants!

I homeschool my gang of 9 and I have so far only been successful in getting 1 of them to choose to write about plants. Everyone always chooses animals or history. Perhaps if there were more kid-friendly websites describing all the amazing qualities of plant species, then plants could get on the list.

You have inspired me to make plant species a more beloved and interesting subject.

Happy Earth Day Anne!
