Summary

I was hoping this plant was going to be a little more explode-y, but you can paint and make cheese with it, so that’s pretty cool. I didn’t really think about the fact that my day off was also the day everyone sets off fireworks (even though they’re illegal in North Carolina) before I decided it would be a good time to record. At least it’s kind of on theme. Music by James Milor from Pixabay Information provided by: Prokinetic and Laxative Effects of Chrozophora tinctoria whole plant extract by Ayaz Ali Sher, et al.
