In Reply to: Re: Ray Bradbury, respect him as I do, is grossly in error here. posted by grinagog on June 17, 2004 at 01:41:33:
Over the last twenty years I have been observing a site in the Chisos
Mountains in Big Bend National Park where the endangered Cinnabar
Ladie's Tresses flowers each spring. The site is in a very remote
almost never-visited canyon. I'm probably the only person who knows
about it, and this may be the last site for this orchid.
Oh yeah, Bradbury really comes off as a doink in this affair.

(its a yellow variant and they are nearly always green) growing in their garden, I always take a peep through their fence at it when I am out walking the dog
Cycads are very slow growing and survived the ice age, so they are true living fossils and very primitive This one has spikes in the top like a cactus that would have cut any dinosaurs lips that tried to take a bite out of it, now 60,000,000 years after the last dinosaur the cycads spikes are still there "on alert", now thats immunity from evolution!
There is only one town in the Ryukyu islands in Japan that boasts any other examples in the World, and then only every other decade or so will produce one of this genetic variant, so its something of a treasure to say the least
I like stuff like that
