Just Don't Tell the Squirrels

Hi. I'm Sarah. I'm using this as a place to show off things I find interesting through-out my day. Bio: Crafty biblio/info -phile, libraries, gardening, current events, thinker, dreamer and random blog poster.

Side note: "Just don't tell the squirrels" was something I was heard saying in my sleep once as a wee one.

Plant blooms after 30,000 years in permafrost

infoneer-pulse:

A plant that last flowered when woolly mammoths roamed the plains is back in bloom.

Biologists have resurrected a 30,000-year-old plant, cultivating it from fruit tissue recovered from frozen sediment in Siberia. The plant is by far the oldest to be brought back from the dead: the previous record holder was a sacred lotus, dating back about 1200 years.
