The odds of encountering a prickly pear cactus (Opuntia spp.) in your lifetime is high no matter where you live. That is how abundant, diverse, and charismatic these cacti truly are. For all of their intrigue, so much about these spiny succulents remains a mystery. Trying to understand their diversity is fraught with challenges, both physical and academic, but that hasn't dissuaded people like Dr. Lucas Majure. Join us for a fascinating dive into the world of prickly pear cacti diversity and evolution.

In the evolving landscape of global spirits, one visionary stands at the forefront of a quiet revolution. Tomas Nava, owner and distiller at Gran Tunal Destilería, is redefining what Mexican whiskey can be through his passionate commitment to heritage and innovation. Nava's journey began behind the bar, where he pioneered his town's first mezcal establishment. This immersion in Mexico's traditional spirits sparked a curiosity that would later flourish into full-scale production. After exploring gin-making with a distinctive Prickly Pear base, Nava found his true calling in whiskey—but with a uniquely Mexican identity. "The soul of whiskey is in its grain," Nava often says, and this philosophy drives Gran Tunal's most ambitious project. While most distillers worldwide rely on commercial corn varieties, Nava has turned to Mexico's rich agricultural heritage, sourcing indigenous heirloom corn varieties that pre-date European contact. These ancient grains—each with distinct flavor profiles, colors, and cultural significance—provide the foundation for whiskeys unlike any other in the world. The result is not merely a Mexican interpretation of Scottish or American traditions, but something genuinely new: expressions that capture Mexico's terroir and agricultural legacy in every sip. The production process honors both whiskey-making traditions and Mexican cultural practices. By combining careful distillation with these exceptional base ingredients, Gran Tunal creates spirits that speak eloquently of place and history. Industry experts have taken notice. As Mexican whiskey emerges as a category in its own right, Nava's creations stand as benchmarks of quality and innovation, earning recognition in international competitions and among discerning connoisseurs. For Tomas Nava, each bottle represents more than just a fine spirit—it's a preservation of agricultural biodiversity, a celebration of Mexican heritage, and a bold step forward in the global spirits conversation.

#46 - Join us for an amazing conversation with Clinical Herbalist & Teacher Sam Coffman on how incorporating multiple paradigms in clinical herbalism can support an effective and truly integrative approach to health. In this episode, Sam shares first-hand experiences on working with the healing power of herbs in Echinacea, Comfrey, Horsetail, Prickly Pear, and others in wilderness medicine, wilderness first aid situations, and complex clinical cases. He also offers deep wisdom on how his journey in many different realms of life including clinical herbalism, martial arts, the Special Forces, linguistics, philosophy, music, western medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has shaped his relationship with the Earth. Sam Coffman (MSAOM, RH[AHG]) began his medical education in the Army as a Special Forces Medic (aka Green Beret medic) in 1989. Over the years that followed, he looked toward herbalism as a way to provide sustainable health care in remote and post-disaster regions for chronic, acute and physical trauma care. Over the following three decades, Sam's primary goal has become the creation of an integrative medical model that embraces vitalistic, TCM and western medical approaches to herbalism into a collaboration with western orthodox models of diagnosis and treatment for acute and chronic health care conditions. Sam has taught herbalism for over 30 years and has worked as a clinical herbalist for over 15 years. He founded and runs Herbal Medics Academy (AKA The Human Path), which offers four primary programs - Clinical Herbalism, Austere Medicine, Advanced Medicine Making, and Family Herbalism. You can find Sam at https://herbalmedics.academy and https://herbalfirstaidgear.com On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herbalmedicsam/ and https://www.instagram.com/thehumanpath/ On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ahgherbalmedic On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHumanPath Herbal Medic book: https://herbalfirstaidgear.com/product/the-herbal-medic-book/For more info visit Sara's website at: https://www.multidimensionalnature.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/multidimensional.nature/facebook: https://www.facebook.com/saraartemisia.ms/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@saraartemisiaLearn how to communicate with plant consciousness in the free workshop on How to Learn Plant Language: https://www.learnplantlanguage.com/

There are a lot of products out there!  This episode is all about incontinence pads and underwear.  When you are thinking about pads, it is important to use pads designed for bladder leaking- they work better.  The most common pads in stored are Poise, Depends, Always discrete, Tena, and Kroger generic.  I think it is always a good idea to look at the websites before you go to the store, so you have an idea of what would work for you.  The different types of pads describe their absorbency in different ways- there isn't one system- so it is hard to compare them.  If you try a few that don't work for you, there are a few websites that offer recommendations or have experts you can talk to.  These include:home care delivered https://www.hcd.com/need-medical-supplies/products/the National Association for Continence https://nafc.org/Carewell https://www.carewell.com/Some women have very sensitive skin and pads can be irritating.  There are pads that are designed for more delicate skin.  many of these are found online.  Always discrete has some pads for sensitive skin, as do Honeypot, Elyte, and AttnGrace.  So if your current pads are bothering you, check out these additional brands.Incontinence underwear (the reusable type) is only available online.  Current brands include:speax https://www.thinx.com/thinx-for-all-leaksONDR https://ondrwear.com/Proof https://shopproof.com/Knix https://knix.com/collections/all-leakproof?loc=Main-ShopAllNav-Categories&nav=leakproof-hqWearever https://www.weareverincontinence.com/Be sure to look at the return policies before you buy!  You can't return incontinence underwear but some companies will send you a new pair if you need a different size.And if you like the idea of workout pants made for leaking, check out these brands:Moxie https://gowithmoxie.com/Prickly Pear https://pricklypearsports.com/shop-leggings

In a basket of fruit, one fruit is not accepted among the main fruit in the basket. The prickly pear didn't like the feelings or thoughts  she had  when she was in the basket and by the other fruits. Follow along her to see how she finally was able to fight those prickly feelings and bring in her sweet feelings. This story is all about the power of our thoughts and how we can find and feel the feelings we want instead of the feelings others try to place on us. Connecting Conversations: 1. Why do you think the other Fruit didn't Accept Her? 2. Have you ever felt like you weren't accepted?3. What did Prickly Pear do to fix this? 4. How can you bring the sweet feelings when you feel prickly ones?5. What does it mean when this is said, " The mean things people say, has everything to do about them and nothing about you?" 

Well, it's mid-March here in south-central Texas and that means the weather is having a moment or five. Glory be, it was cold this weekend at the J&J Trail Running Reunion. The winds were gusty and filled with dust and pollen. I volunteered from Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon and had some fun adventures helping runners. Sunday, after springing forward into Daylight Saving Time (why can't it just always be like this?), I got up early and headed over to the Prickly Pear race at McAllister Park. I was doing the 15K, which started at 8 am. There is a story behind why I started over an hour late and I will share that mortifying story toward the end. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thestubborntortoise/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thestubborntortoise/support

New episodes will resume on March 21.   Historical Events 1775 Birth of Pierre Jean François Turpin (books about this person), French botanist and illustrator. Pierre was friends with the botanist, gardener, and botanical artist, Pierre Antoine Poiteau. And although we know that he learned a great deal about botany from his friend Poiteau, Pierre was self-taught when it came to his botanical illustrations. And Redouté's work was an obvious influence on him. Pierre created over 6,000 magnificent botanical watercolors. He was an expert on fruit trees, and his fruit prints are considered some of the best in the world. There are two fascinating stories about Pierre I wanted to share with you today. First, Pierre created a fictional plant for Goethe that was an amalgam of different angiosperms. Goethe wanted an illustration to show the diversity of angiosperms, and when Goethe saw Pierre's drawing, he named it the Urplant. Goethe wrote, The Urplant would be the most wondrous creation in the world, for which nature itself would envy me.  With it, one could invent plants to infinity... The second Pierre story that I wanted to share with you is about his son, Pierre Jr. No doubt Pierre taught his son how to draw. But tragically, Pierre Jr. died young, and his final drawing was of an Amaryllis. After his death, Pierre made sure his son was credited for the work, and then he did something unusual for botanical illustrations: he made a little personal remark on his son's passing, writing: This original illustration was painted by Pierre John Frederick Eugene Turpin.  The illustrator, who was 18 years and six days of age, ceased to live on the 21st of August in 1821. Less than 20 years later, Pierre himself would die in Paris in 1840 at 65. Now, speaking of Amaryllis, this is the time of year when gardeners get all kinds of questions about them. My neighbor Jan, up at the cabin returned from a trip to Las Vegas to find her Christmas gift, an Amaryllis, in full bloom - and she's utterly captivated by this gorgeous Amaryllis, but of course, she called me to say, What do I do with it after it's done blooming?  And this is the question that's on everybody's mind because they're wrapping things up about now. So what are your options if you have an Amaryllis? Well, number one, you can throw it away. You can simply be done with it. If you choose to, you could put it in the compost pile and so forth. Or, if you're committed to trying to get your Amaryllis to bloom again next year, it is possible to do. You can force it to flower again next year. Keep it on a sunny window inside until June when things warm up and then harden it off, the way you would any of the houseplants that you bring outside, take it outside for a few hours, and then bring it back in. Gradually increase the amount of time it stays outside until it's out all day. Make sure that it's in a sunny spot. And then, in the fall, you can bring it back indoors. This is the time when you're going to impose dormancy. Put the Amaryllis in a cold area. (If you have a dark cellar, that would be ideal). And remember that during dormancy, you don't want to water your Amaryllis. Think about your Amaryllis like a sleeping beauty that you'll wake up in time for the holidays. And then, at that point, you can resume watering, and your Amaryllis, with any luck, will flower again. So there you go—a little Amaryllis care 101 inspired by the son of Pierre Turpin.   1811 Birth of Katherine Sophia Kane, Irish botanist, and horticulturist. Orphaned as a little girl, Katherine was raised by her uncle, who fostered Kate's love for the outdoors and, ultimately, her focus on botany. When Kate was 22, she anonymously published a book that became the first national flora of Ireland, called The Irish Flora Comprising the Phaenogamous Plants and Ferns (1833). Kate's book not only described all the Irish flowering plants but also ferns and other cryptograms. Accurate and informative, Kate's book became a textbook for botany students at Trinity College in Dublin. Three years later, in recognition of her work, Kate became the first woman to be elected to the Botanical Society of Edinburgh. The story of how Kate met her husband Robert is similar to how John Claudius Loudon met his wife, Jane Webb: through her book. In Kate's case, proofs of The Irish Flora had mistakenly landed on Robert's desk. Robert tracked down Kate's address and personally returned the proofs to her. The rest, as they say, was history. The two were married in 1838, and they went on to have ten children. In 1846, Robert was knighted, and Kate became known as Lady Kane. An economist, a chemist, and a scientist, Robert was hired to serve as the President of Queens College. Although Kate was happy for her husband, she refused to move to Cork. She'd designed a magnificent garden with many exotics planted all around their home in Dublin, and she was reluctant to leave it. And so, much to the school's dismay, Robert commuted to work until the College finally insisted he reside in Cork during the school year in 1858. And here's a fun little side note about Kate and Robert: since they were both scientists, Kate and Robert would send messages to each other in Greek.   1877 Birth of Jean White-Haney, Australian botanist. In 1912, as a young botanist, Jean was asked to deal with the non-native Prickly Pear problem in Australia. The plant had been introduced to Australia 100 years earlier, and it became invasive once it was established. Tackling the Prickly Pear was a massive undertaking, and Jean's appointment marked the first time a woman held a scientific leadership position in the Australian government. Jean knew she would have to power through the hardships of the job to prove herself. She recalled the experience this way: [I lived] amid the thickest pear. A desolate little place where living was primitive. I was young then and still rather nervous, but I insisted on not being given any special privileges because of being a woman. ...Failures of women who can not rough it would naturally be magnified.  I lived in the little public house there. [I] worked on my fascinating job with all the enthusiasm of those who see small beginnings to great ends. And the methods chosen for experiment were the introduction of suitable insects and poison. Many gardeners are surprised to learn that the Prickly Pear is actually an excellent pollinator plant. Charles Darwin noticed that the flowers of the Prickly Pear Cactus had thigmotactic anthers, which means the anthers curl over and drop their pollen when touched. And yes, the bees love it.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Life in a French Country House by Cordelia de Castellane This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is Simple Ideas For Small Outdoor Spaces. Cordelia is France's favorite host and the artistic director of Dior Home and Baby Dior.

He's remembered for his radio comedy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which became a trilogy of five books. He was an environmentalist and a conservationist. In his book, Last Chance to See, Douglas wrote, As zoologists and botanists explore new areas, scrabbling to record the mere existence of species before they become extinct, it is like someone hurrying through a burning library desperately trying to jot down some of the titles of books that will now never be read. And in Richard Dawkins' best-seller The God Delusion, his dedication was to Douglas Adams in memoriam, and included this quote by Douglas, who was an atheist: Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? Finally, in his book Life, The Universe and Everything (1982), Arthur Dent's old friend Ford Prefect, says, ....I decided I was a lemon for a couple of weeks. I kept myself amused all that time jumping in and out of a gin and tonic....I found a small lake that thought it was a gin and tonic, and jumped in and out of that. At least, I think it thought it was a gin and tonic.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

In Episode 8 we take a look at the most successful orchid ever(?) Epipactus helleborine. This species in non-native in New England but is by far likely the most common orchid observed in habitat. Also some research on the chemical constituents of this plant and it's creation of Oxycodone to increase likelihood of pollination success. Somehow this leads into Opuntia cactus on Cape Cod and a little background on the Toxicodendron genus in New England and some differences and observations - as well as a few stories about people getting poison sumac very badly.
