For the first time in decades, a new plant genus and species has been discovered in a national park, Big Bend National Park to be specific. It's been confirmed as a member of the sunflower family but it looks NOTHING like a sunflower.
Growing up I had plants all over the house. I felt like I was living in a jungle. My mom definitely had a green thumb. Me, not so much! I can successfully kill a cactus I am afraid. I heard time and time again how having all those plants were good for us. We had really clean air in my house thanks to them.
