Hey, plant lovers, the latest plant blog carnival has been posted over at Seeds Aside. Click the link and go have a look at all the goodies you may have missed or not known about. No question about it, at least one kindred spirit was found, someone who claims the exalted title of botanist. There can be no higher calling.

Berry-go-round #56 - plant blog roundup for October
Hey, plant lovers, the latest plant blog carnival has been posted over at Seeds Aside. Click the link and go have a look at all the goodies you may have missed or not known about. No question about it, at least one kindred spirit was found, someone who claims the exalted title of botanist. There can be no higher calling.
Berry Go Round plant blog round up for July 2012
Drat! Completely lost track of what number BGR this is, but guess it doesn't matter so long as you have a link to click. So here it is, the July round up of plant blogs from over at the The Daily Plant, where Daniel Chamovitz is able to leap tall buildings in a single bound while he keeps his identity secret by portraying a mild mannered botanist, or something like that. So zip on over and have a look see; you can never have too many plant blogs to read.
A very merry Berry-Go-Round #47 and more
Oops. Forgot about BGR and failed to submit any blogs. My bad. But nonetheless the Roaming Naturalist rounded up some interesting December blogs for your amusement and edification.
Here's an interesting round up of recent bio-agricultural blogs from the Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog. In particular you might like the article on guerilla grafting, a new approach to urban farming. Next garden ninjas will be crawling over our fences at night to snag some zucchini.
And then some people get a kick out of the most mundane things, and they must be happy people. So zip over to Get Your Botany On and see the first flower of 2012. Having low expectations helps, but bragging rights are bragging rights. Actually a number of these winter rosette or winter annual plants are in flower sort of, or not, because they have what are called cleistogamous flowers; they never open beyond the bud stage and are self-pollinated in the bud. This may be the case for this little mustard.
The Phactor is having trouble, just old habits really, in remembering the current scientific name of the tomato, so it was good of the Digital Botanic Garden to remind me. Let's fact it, after calling the tomato Lycopersicon esculenta (the juicy wolf peach) for 40 or so years, it's hard to remember that it is now Solanum lycopersicum, the nightshade wolf peach. This happened because tomato was found to be part of the nightshade lineage, and the specific epithet esculenta (um) was already in use, so they epitheticised the old generic name. And it's a simply great image of a pre-BLT tomato.
Enjoy.
