2017 Planting - Carnivorous Plants - Cullowhee Poster Presentation


At the 2017 Cullowhee Native Plant Conference I presented this poster:



Might be hard to read. This comes from my 2017 planting. When any science, the information must be displayed to the community to be discussed with peers. There was interest. I'm bias, but my presentation was the best!

This was posted quickly to get it posted. I removed some names. The file is too large I know. But you couldn't read the words if it was smaller. We will see how it goes. Hold control and scroll to make it larger.

Axes – Plurality of Weapons and Statistics



Axes – Plurality of Weapons and Statistics

On an unrelated note, the plural of axis is axes. Seems Axes can be plural for 3 different spelled words, the other two being Ax and Axe. What is the difference between and Ax and an Axe? Nothing. They are spellings for the same item used to chop wood, and both could be used. If someone told you to draw some axes, either of the following would be fine.



Naturally you would draw the x-y axis picture because you love math and you never think to go into battle vs. some trees.

 

Have I gone too far yet?

Thank you for viewing. Comment if you would like. Have a Great Enjoyable Day!
