In all the first blog excitement I uploaded the wrong Ginkgo pictures, so here they are.
And a little bit of Ginkgo trivia for those who like the print. It is the world’s oldest living species of tree, whose fossil records date back to when dinosaurs roamed the earth. They were once widespread in Europe and North America, but were destroyed in most regions during the Ice Age, surviving only in certain regions of China. They would be extinct today had it not been for the preservation efforts of some Buddhist Monks, who planted them in their temple gardens. Ginkgos soon became a sacred tree in both China and Japan.
