The Flowering Banana Berry Herb Bush Fabric

My son read an article to me this morning regarding bananas that I found quite interesting. In the article, the author spoke about how the banana ‘fruit’ was scientifically classified as a herbaceous plant (bush) of the Musacea family. In laments terms, this commonly called fruit that we eat is actually a flowering herb and a member of the lily family. Banana’s do NOT grow on trees in the true sense, since the banana plants have no wood fiber and not only that, scientists actually classify the banana as a berry based on the fact that berries are identified as being ‘many seeded’ with a ‘fleshy inner layer’; just like bananas.

Go Green Gina: Save the Planet, Recycle Clothing.

Have you ever been to a clothing swap? If you haven’t you are really missing out on not only some great fun, but some great finds.

I was invited to my first one from a girlfriend of mine who shops at a private design boutique called Simply Netfah. It is a specialty boutique that carries beautiful wholistic clothing and accessories for women and every spring they hold a gathering at their place where invited clients gather among good food and good company, to exchange old and unwanted articles of clothing from their closets for new ones. It is the boutique owner’s way of giving back to Mother Earth through the encouragement of clothing recycling and sustaining her community through barter exchange.
