Interesting, Stosh, synchronized posting.  When I started this post yours wasn't there yet.

 

Shen Nong, the Divine Farmer

Quote

At this time, so the legend goes, there were a great many people in China and simply not enough food. They ate everything they could find – plants, fruit, shellfish and insects, apparently – but this was a sorry state of affairs and life was very harsh. Shen Nong taught the people to plough fields, identify different fruit and seed-bearing crops, and sow and harvest them. One day, during his teaching, sand-coloured clouds appeared in the sky and released a sudden downpour of seeds. When the clouds had passed, Shen Nong collected the seeds and carefully sowed them. A few months later, diverse and valuable crops covered the land. One of them was cannabis; the others were soy, wheat, broomcorn, and foxtail millet.

:wub:

We usually encounter a few Mantis in the Bonsai/Jade Garden at the Huntington here.  They are incredible to watch and hang out with!

 

My son starts Southern Mantis this Summer.  Life is good.

 

p.s.  get that pic!
