From the Editor....
Now that the garden is sleeping buried under a pile of snow. I have been thrilled to have a lush, blooming garden to look at while I work at my desk. The Paludarium is growing like crazy. The Kohleria is delightful to look at with its bright red cheerful flowers. The club moss, has grown up and out of the top, the asparagus fern is up and out, curling around wires, and keeps growing and going, seemingly without a destination. Everyday I see something new. The creatures in the tank, pop in and out as well. The crabs, there are 7 of them, but you would never know it, they hide mostly and then make an appearance. It's something special to see one.
