A fine exercise in editing the last one
Thanks Derrick. I chose to make the greens red. Color changes mood.
Yes
Lovely composition of Greenbrok pond! I’mnot sure which is more curious:the look of the cancer root or its name. Do we knowwhy the name?
Thanks BB. I looked it up for you, “Cancer root is a parasitic plant that lives mostly underground and attaches to the roots of oak trees. It has no chlorophyll and cannot make its own food. It produces cone-like structures that look like pinecones or corn cobs, which are the only visible parts of the plant. Cancer root is also known as bear cone, squaw root, or bear corn. It has some medicinal uses.” And “The name “Cancer Root Plant” is likely due to the appearance of its stems with scale-like flowers, which resemble upright golden cones. However, despite the name, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that it has any cancer prevention or cancer-causing properties.”
