Gonna need the NY Botanical Garden's corpse flower to bloom this weekend so I can go see (smell) it; I owe some of the initial sparks of inspiration for Fallen into the Garden to standing on line to see (smell) the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's corpse flower so it would be nice to bring that full circle!

If you're like "why was there a kinda gross emphasis on smell in that comic?" thank the corpse flower! I think Catchfast and Barker would LOVE sniffing corpse flowers!!!

Mister Ray would be APPALLED that the people of the past smoked plants and advocated to save the trees that would kill the world

Mosses don’t have roots! Instead they have structures we call rhizoids that help them attach to whatever they feel like growing on. This is why mosses can start growing weird places where there isn’t dirt, they get their nutrients from rainwater/mist/dew.

Mosses have teeth : )
