While researching more about the interesting world of Botany and Plant Science I learned of a few new words that I had not heard or read before. The first being herbarium and the second related to it, plant collecting.
Now I want to know more. My interest has been sparked to go out and start to identify and map, document, draw and collect (here) the flora and fauna around our home and around town. I get excited to just thinking about it, of going out and exploring and making notes and documentation of the plant life that is all around me.(Taxonomy) Of being able to identify and name various plants sound so fun. I think my weekends are going to start involving plant life and it's study.
