Even More Blogroll Additions

Are these posts boring for you guys, as readers? I'm never sure if they're, you know, planty enough to be bothering with. In any case, some more blogs I've enjoyed lately, in no particular order:

The Scientist Gardener. Written by MAT kinase. From upstate New York. Outdoor, agriculture, food science, food politics. I probably found this through James and the Giant Corn.

The Hanging gardens of EpiCrazy. Written by J.J., in Antioch, Tennessee, United States. I sort of hesitate to include this, because it's narrow focus and short duration so far (the first post was 29 Sep 2009) mean it may not be around long -- a lot of blogs are abandoned after a handful of posts. However, he seems appropriately obsessive, and you've never seen such epiphytic cactus flower photos. So THGOEC makes the cut. Epiphytes, particularly epiphytic cacti (Hatiora, Epiphyllum, Schlumbergera, etc.), eye candy. Found through Blotanical.

Plant Zone. Written by Aerelonian. London, Ontario, Canada. Tropicals (especially orchids, Hibiscus, and Bougainvillea), growing plants from seed, succulents, some outdoor. Found through Dirt Therapy, which is funny since Dirt Therapy isn't on the list yet.

So, naturally, we'll add Dirt Therapy. Written by Phillip Oliver. Florence, Alabama, United States. Outdoor, ornamental, cooking, lawn replacement. Found through the 2009 Blotanical Awards (DT was the winner of Best Alabama Blog).

Animal Review. I'm unclear about whether this is still being updated regularly or not: it had been from May '08 to March '09, and then it just kind of stops for six months while, allegedly, a book was being written. But it's a hysterical read all the same. Written by nobody in particular (meaning I couldn't find any kind of author name, not that it's written by someone who goes by the handle "nobody in particular,"), from no particular place. Animals, humor, humorous animal-related geekery, anthropomorphism. I do not remember how I found this but suspect Twitter is responsible.

Joe's Paphs and Orchid Blog. Written by, as you would assume, Joe. Singapore. Orchids, in particular Phalaenopsis and Paphiopedilum, photography. Not a lot of text or care information, but holy crap the eye candy. I promise you, you have not seen phals and paphs like these, even if you're really into phals and paphs. I do not remember how I ran across this blog and don't even have a guess.

Genetic Maize. Written by Anastasia Bodnar. Ames, Iowa, United States. Genetics, agriculture, genetic engineering (GMOs), food politics. Another one I found through James and the Giant Corn.

Talking Plants. Written by Tim Entwisle. Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Orchids, Australian outdoor gardening, science, Australian native plants. Don't remember finding this one either.

All Andrew's Plants. Written by Andrew. Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It's fuzzy w/r/t the subject matter, since it's new, but houseplants have been promised. Found via Andrew himself, whose other blog I was already following.
