Hi All!

Ever the "party-girl," I think I'll come too...Looks like I have the belated opportunity to join the "flower children" afterall. Many thanks Tina, for pointing me in the direction of this fantastical Baroque Eden of Austin's creation.

BTW, my family orgins are mostly Welsh/Irish, so it's starting to look like a gathering of the Celts. What a wild old lot they were (are?)!

Thanks a lot to you, too, Graybeard! I'll never be able to look at flowers in the same way again - ever! But then maybe that's not a bad thing...

I wonder if there is simply a common part of DNA shared by all Life, that is Life itself?

Re: Flora Symbolica Illustrated

I guess that once DNA got going, it was only a matter of time before it produced flower children, of which Graybeard is some kind of one by traveling through India in his youth instead of getting a job. See his blog.

See all you Celts/Ozzies, whatevers, on the beach singing and dancing and losing your jobs.

We'll take the veils off of the flowers that Graybeard made us put on their scandalous activities.

Austie...I think were having a Celtic/Irish meeting of the hearts....see cool bananas is the only one who does not understand flower lore...we should go to the scientific thread and lay some veils of scandal on their scientific sub-strata and theories...chuckles...now that would be cool for cool bananas....

Wait! I can hear him scratching away at the keyboard as we speak. You know it is possible that if he sits there long enough, he'll elicit a legible sentence - sorta like how "evolution" came about...*chortle*

Re: Flora Symbolica Illustrated

The great thing about DNA is that it recorded much of the steps of successes of our climb from the slime, and even replays much of this from the conception of a child on to its birth, the cells grouping and such.

Of course, many are still trying to decipher the jumble of scattered information in the strands; even genes no longer used are still in there.

The honorable Mr. Graybeard, in fact, sent in his DNA in for analysis, and although they can't yet tell a whole lot of info yet, I'm sure that there will be some great surprises in his, all good, naturally, we hope.

Not you. too, Austin!

What we have today is "...life, Jim, but not as we (knew) it." Have you heard of Epigenetics?
