FAMILIES AND FLOWERS POST

I find very amusing, those scholarly written botanical papers, no matter what the theme/subject is, the reading is as fun as having an infected tooth pulled. Only the secret, initiated ones, can decipher the register.  I often wonder if they do any gardening at all...

In me country,  100/35, Enchanted Isle, Paradise and other ridiculous names, (noisy/concrete/asphalt isle is more accurate) there is a molecular biologist, who recently declared publicly his pride and ignorance regarding the botany and gardening I practice and write about.

HIS 'scholarly' post dealt about his young daughter and her passionate interest in some beautiful and glutton caterpillars (Pseudophinx tetrio) that once or twice a year arrive from nowhere munching on Plumeria or Allamanda leaves exclusively.  Find out by yourself. These caterpillars are black and green becoming huge moths once their life cycle is completed.

It is time to get to the tittle.  I have preached about the significance of knowing the botanical names of whatever is I plant.  Today will get into some families in my collection. But before that, let the record show that if you prefer to remain ignorant, that is also cool. With the web at hand, you could write the common name, in most cases, and find the botanical, if you want to have a pertinent inventory for people like yours truly.  However I still have difficulty  showing any kind of respect for those who do  not. Parque Donha Ines and Alberto Areces Mallea, Phd,  is one example. Check their site,
http://www.flmm.org. If you got the time, research, under Parque Donha Ines and Fundacion Luis Munhoz Marin with this spelling to get the nitty gritty on these sinister characters.  After ten years,  over 8 million USA dollars spent,  this white collar  artist/biologist,  son of a beach' with worthy constituents; LUIS MUNHOZ MARIN FOUNDATION; a popular democratic party cave of thieves,  does not have a botanical inventory or any relevant information available in the web after a decade,  for guys like me yet.. I write/say more, the bastards do not even have a humble blog,..or any photos, beside the ones I have published mocking and denouncing the scam, here and elsewhere.
