Thank you. Can anything be done about it?

I'm so jealous. I've never had a green thumb and we have almost no direct sunlight in our house, so plant growing just is never going to be a thing. But I grew up with a mother and grandparents who filled their houses with plants and I do miss it.

That's a great candidate! I've never seen any of them in the neighborhood though, so I wonder how a single seed got into my yard?

Sundews are really beautiful plants (I'm guessing that's a sundew or a relative anyway). Pitchers are my favorite when it comes to carnivorous plants, but it's a close second.

They can survive without feeding?

Right? I caught it just before the mowers came and I never saw it again.

It's been years, but in my memory, a few minutes.

I just did some Googling and apparently, that is a more recent development (at least for physics, medicine and chemistry). Science Nobel laureates used to be young, or at least much younger, but now they are skewing much older. This article discusses it: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-37578899

My grandmother had one. I'd play with it all the time.

I think once you win a Nobel, it's okay to rest on your laurels.

There is nothing quite like a cucumber picked straight from the stem.

I don't know that either of those work for the NY Times. They have a pretty good paywall setup. The Washington Post too. But I'll see what I can do with them.
