It seems that this happened a couple hundred years ago. It was one of the earliest experiments that clarified the carbon cycle.

What is this guy's name?

I heard that it was possible for plants to send chemical messages to each other via spores... has anyone else heard about this process- perhaps some of you are already talking to them, I don't know... what kinds of things do plants say?

Can they just die of old age? Or will they always die a "violent" death, e.g. being swatted, stuck on fly paper or eaten by a bird?

It stands about 40 to 60 feet tall, has light gray bark and about a 12 inch to 16 inch in diameter trunk. It has perfects spheres that are light green, like balls or capsules or fruits. They are about a centimeter in diameter. It has cordate leaves that are from 8 inches to 12 inches long. I measured one leaf with a ruler at 10 inches and it was not the largest nor the smallest leaf. They have a long pointed tip, almost heart shaped leaves. It is growing in Northern Virginia and its on a city street, not all out in the woods. I think it may be a Paulownia tree, but not sure. The leaves are simple toothed leaves, not compound. It has a split trunk, two trunks. There's another tree nearby that looks like the same species but it has red twigs and this one has green twigs. Same species though.

What is a 'Mare's Egg"? I think it is a species of fresh water plant or seaweed. Possibly a freshwater plant in the form of a slightly leathery oval? I don't believe that Mare's Egg is the scientific name. I would like to know everything about this subject.

Smallpox has been around forever; poxes generally even longer and they have infected everything from dolphins to grasshoppers with variations own individual strains.

Pox has such a massive DNA make-up at somepoint, could it have been the dominant species on the planet

As it can transmutate to just about any new host species, forever jumping to avoid eradication could it be that the pox actually predates everything else?

Could it be the reason for it's ability to jump so successfully is because it has in its' overall lifetime met everything further down the evolutionary order so it has a genetic memory making it easier to stick in the new host?

I'm not a botanist, but I would like to get one for a friend who is, as a birthday present. I'm interested in something that covers Central America. Costa Rica would do, although Nicaragua would be preferrable, but I haven't found anything like that, and even if I did, I wouldn't know if it's worth getting.
