Re: OT-BIO: Kitty Loberg
From: "Mark, Maureen" <MARKM@tc.gc.ca>
Welcome, Kitty. My two kids are almost nine and four. They both love
exhibiting and winning ribbons. The almost nine-year old has been learning
about plants at school and of course got home and started looking for the
pollen and the stigma. Then the paintbrush came out and she had to make
some crosses. Now I'll have to figure out what that clump is that is
labelled COQUETTE DOLL but is a purple self! Back through the records to
see what got mixed up.
