Fresh off a cleaning jag, Lee comes in hot with lots of energy and a special segment about floral baby names. That's right, if you are having a baby sometime soon OR if you're just a names/name trends enthusiast, Lee has suggestions for you, plus some names she does NOT suggest. Also: Val has life news and Lee begins a woo-woo journey. In our Plants segment, Val tells a whole story about a 'blackberry bush' that was actually a gooseberry bush. Down with Meat Sweats!

SHOW NOTES;

Foxgloves are, in fact, poisonous.

Did you watch the new Nosferatu and wonder how it compares to the original, but didn’t have it in you to sit through a silent movie. The Books and Blooms podcast has you covered! Val watched the original Nosferatu. Lee watched the new movie. They compare and contrast. But first, life updates! Lee has seasonal affective disorder, but she’s finding joy where she can. Val has no heat.

Justice for Knock, but only in the original.

SHOW NOTES:

One pioneer in treating childhood leukemia was Emil J. Freireich, who both discovered that his patients’ bleeding was caused by insufficient platelets and who believed in combining chemo drugs, despite opposition.
