Notes for Naturalists from an Easton Paper
A resident owns the rare amorphophallus plant whose odor recalls stale meat yet displays striking color. G H Verrall notes about one hundred mosquito species exist, eight or ten in England, with a British species recently found in Mexico. Harrisburg hosts two elephants ears plants with blooms, and hens cuckoo behavior in laying eggs. Across flora, only 420 of Europe’s 4200 flowers are fragrant, with varied odoriferous counts by color. The cow’s domestication traces to ancient civilization, with Mosaic and Egyptian depictions of milking and calf feeding.
