Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny*

Pumpkins Grown by Gerry in our Garden!

" . . . every pumpkin in the field,
goes through every point of pumpkin history."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
from the essay
"Nominalist and Realist"


I like the way that this one has re-situated itself amongst the oregano!

  2. Have always loved seeing pumpkins in the field. Your 'close up and personal' presentation of them have given me a new appreciation for individual pumpkins in the garden! Thanks, Kitti!

  3. Thanks Sue & Burnetta! Burnetta, remember when we taught the Stephen Jay Gould essays at U of A?
