The plant life picture gave me a brief chuckle. Reminded me to re-read one of Michael Pollan’s first books (“Botany of Desire”) which delves into the subtle interrelationship between human populations and plants. I remember after reading the book the first time I was hoping it would continue to be a benign and long-game interrelationship. I got to thinking about how it’s always a struggle to make sure that poisonous plants are never where an equine could accidentally or on purpose graze. It’s going to cost me a small fortune to deal with the sudden proliferation of a very toxic invasive plant which happened this year all over the western half of my state – and in the meantime because of the explosion of growth I had to close off one of my pastures. Then yesterday I found some new shoots in my lawn, for heaven’s sake. Benign is not the word I’m currently using to describe plants!
