wrapped up: Sealed With A Cone!
SWAK aka *Sealed With A Kiss*
At Michigan State University there is a special tree, whose seeds
were brought back from China by my step-dad's father,
many years ago. This unique man was a botanist who taught soldiers how to survive in the Philippines during WWII.
He was also head of the Arboretum in Boston!
Fascinating history:
"From fossil records, dawn redwood is known to have existed as many as 50,000,000 years ago. However, it was not until 1941 that it was first discovered growing in the wild near the town of Modaoqi, China by Chinese forester, T. Kan."
Just love the wrapping process!
Happy Monday Everyone!
