A plant pundit comments on plants, the foibles and fun of academic life, and other things of interest.
How's your weather? Or, don't move that snow drift; it may be my car.
Well, today was another day of terrible weather here in Switzerland. It was sunny, about 10 C, and we toured a botanical garden to see what spring flowers might be open (bear paw hellebores, hardy cyclamens, snowdrops, forsythia, Iris japonica). You do understand that TPP is being sympathetic about the severe winter weather gripping the eastern half of the USA (Yes, the Great White North has this weather too, but then this weather is their number one export!). Why here in Zurich the weather is so severe that only cafes with outside tables on their south side were full of people. However, the Phactors expect payback. If all goes well, and that's asking a lot for international air travel these days, especially when the itinerary includes a flight change in Heathrow, we shall be back to Chi-town tomorrow afternoon, and somewhere out in remote parking lot WX, near location pole QQV489, sits a not very large snow drift, and inside is our white Subaru. So if anyone is around those parking coordinates, stop by and help us dig it out! There's some cheese in it for you.
