When Plants Attack!

After a little hiatus and celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, we're back!  We had a great time celebrating with friends and family, but are happy to be back in the podcast studio!  This episode is about some strange plants that you may have seen, but maybe didn't know what they were.  We're talking about parasitic plants, but these plants aren't your run of the mill parasites, they are funky, spooky, and fascinating!  Join Gabrielle and I on the back porch as we talk about these "sapsuckers" and "nutrient vampires" right after Halloween!
