About The Holding Tank

“The Holding Tank", a companion Blog to Oklahoma Wildflowers.
       

This blog will feature plants not yet on the Oklahoma Wildflowers blog and will provide basic information about each species. As descriptions are finished, the species in the holding Tank will be moved to the Oklahoma Wildflower blog. I will try to add/move new species weekly or as time and health permits. A link list of species in the Holding Tank will also be provided on the Oklahoma Wildflower blog.

        Although the main purpose of the new blog is as described above, other topics may inclue:


Photographic Tips and camera equipment
Species from other states
Species not yet identified
Possible contributing pics (yet to be worked out)
Environmental issues
More information on the world of Theos (see Homo sneakeaus on main blog for a little more info)

…and any other fun topics I might think of.
