After finding a rare flower last seen in Maryland when Teddy Roosevelt was president, Wes Knapp excitedly headed home to share his breaking botany news with his wife.I'm just going to guess it hasn't been seen in Maryland since Teddy was Preznit is because no one was looking for it very hard.
“I’m pretty sure I came home sweaty and tired and told her we found the Solidago rupestris” — a bright yellow flower that most everyone else would know as the riverbank goldenrod — “and she said, ‘That’s great, can you take out the garbage?’ ” Knapp recalled.
One day you wash up on the beach, wet and naked. Another day you wash back out. In between, the scenery changes constantly.
