  • Oh, hey, it's your neighbor who makes refrigerator magnets out of rocks.

  • Alie Ward.

  • And this is Ologies.

  • These are plants.

  • These are roommates that are plants.

  • Let's talk about it with this guest who I'm just gonna be straight with you.

  • He's very famous for an ability to do plant things, and rightly so.

  • So he grew up loving chemistry and is a second generation botany nerd.

  • He's hybridized plants and created new cultivars.

  • He's an artist and an educator and an author of the Grow a Dam Plant Journal,

  • as well as the book the universe in 100 weird and won Colors from Nature,

  • which features a forward by Hank Green, who's a former Ologies guest himself.

  • And he's also experimented with glow in the Dark plant creations and opalized flowers,

  • which we're going to get to.

  • But first, thank you to patrons of the show who sent in so many queries for him, we'll get to them.

  • Also, we have a spin off G rated podcast for kids, in case you didn't know.

  • It's called Smallogies.

  • You can find it wherever you get podcasts.

  • And Smallogies are classic episodes trimmed for brevity.

  • And they're classroom and family friendly.
