Happy Fascination of Plants Day!

May 18 has been established as a day to celebrate the fascination of plants.  It is a time time remember how much plants give to us, from food and medicine to building materials and garden flowers.  It is their great diversity and the remarkable ways in which plants solve the problems of survival that provide botanists, gardeners, nature lovers, natural healers, and gourmet cooks with endless fascination.  It is important that all of us who care about plants share our enthusiasm with others around us who are not as aware of our rich botanical legacy.

Oxford University Press has posted paragraphs from several botanical authors, including yours truly, on their blogsite, which you might find interesting.
