  • Happy Hallows Anniversary!

    Happy Hallowed(?) Anniversary to Herbarium of the Bizarre and to Meredith! I learned of the podcast while sitting in a forum at a sci-fi convention last year which Meredith was the facilitator. This podcast provides interesting yet little known facts about plants that don’t receive much attention in today’s world. Even the lonely Plantain needs a little lovin’! Keep up the great work and research, and continue to RESPECT THE SCIENCE!
