Amazonian Tree with human sized leaves is finally classified as a new species : Scientists have known about this extremely rare tree for decades, but did not have any genetic material to describe it. In 2005 a couple of botanists collected seeds from a tree in Jamari National Forest, a ancient tropical forest in the Amazon. They took the seeds and planted them and waited for one to flower. Thirteen years later one of the trees flowered and bore fruit, giving the genetic material necessary to name the new species. Coccoloba gigantifolia. I am really glad they don't grow here, I would hate to rake up those!

Or worse yet, look for a small car like an old air cooled 911, miata, or boxster/cayman in a lot full of trucks, BTDT.

What we need now is pics of Lake Oroville from 2023 to compare to the 2021 photo.

We have a glass storm door so we can open the front door when we expect company. No need for a doorbell with the dogs on watch.
