S02E13: It's Children's Day and We have a Special Guest! Also: Anthuriums are Making a Comeback. What Now?

International Children's Day is celebrated worldwide on June 1, and on the second Sunday of June in the United States. The day holds special significance for Czechs. 80 years ago, on June 10, 1942, Nazis massacred hundreds of men, women, and children in the Czechoslovakian town of Lidice. Since Tanya lives in the Czech Republic, we decided to honor this day and 1) have her daughter (10) on the podcast, and 2) publish this episode on this Monday, rather than our usual Tuesday. Safe to say, Tanya's kiddo is not as crazy about plants as Tanya is. Tune in for this wholesome, candid, and sometimes hilarious episode, where Tanya and Jos ask Zara about her mother's obsession with plants. In our News segment, we cover a questionable claim that Anthuriums are making a comeback. Were they ever gone? We also look towards Scotland, where the organizers of a plant festival decided to include a sauna in the activities for visitors. And, of course, we're rating weird plants.

International Children's Day is celebrated worldwide on June 1, and on the second Sunday of June in the United States. The day holds special significance for Czechs. 80 years ago, on June 10, 1942, Nazis massacred hundreds of men, women, and children in the Czechoslovakian town of Lidice.

Since Tanya lives in the Czech Republic, we decided to honor this day and 1) have her daughter (10) on the podcast, and 2) publish this episode on this Monday, rather than our usual Tuesday.

Safe to say, Tanya's kiddo is not as crazy about plants as Tanya is. Tune in for this wholesome, candid, and sometimes hilarious episode, where Tanya and Jos ask Zara about her mother's obsession with plants.

In our News segment, we cover a questionable claim that Anthuriums are making a comeback. Were they ever gone? We also look towards Scotland, where the organizers of a plant festival decided to include a sauna in the activities for visitors.

And, of course, we're rating weird plants.
