Toni, Great pix! Has anyone thought of Wolbachia as the symbiont for this plant material? Wolbachia is symbiotic with both plants and animals... When I was 'eliminating' thousands of the same pieces from my body...and I took them to a Pathologist to identify more than 3 years ago, they came back as "some type of plant material"...not just once, but several times! They were all the same shape, coral/red in color with the same imprinted design on one side. I wish I had looked more closely at these! I will look in my 'fridge stash' to see if I kept some... And remember those 'black calamata olive shaped' things? They too came back as 'some type of plant material'!!! I am going to review my pix and see if I have something that's similar Toni... Perhaps we'd better take a closer look at Wolbachia too Kammy? Blessings, CTBarb

Hi Barb, hope you're doing ok? From what I remember about Wolbachia from past research is... it is not to be ruled out but considered. I would have to look at it again.

From what I remember looking at Wolbachia in the past..it's almost everywhere...every plant and insect is infected..I believe it's in the 'mix'. Jeany PS..oh, btw...Barb. My daughter and her bf went to Salzburg last weekend. I told her to take some pix. Will post here some for you, if you like.

Kammy, Yes, would you take alook at Wolbachia again and it's lifecycle to see what I might have missed? Jeany, OH YES! Please send me pix of Salzburg...I would love to see them...it's one of the most beautiful places on Earth! Toni, Keep taking pix of that plant...perhaps you can name a new species after you! A Bloomin' Toni!!! Love and Blessings, CTBarb

Barb, hahahah I love it! You're too funny! (the bloomin toni) ;D hhehee The Tonimorgperennial. I planted it in soil the other day, and every day I'm babying it. Sunshine on the window sill during the daytime, and flower food mixed with water. It's so tiny I placed it into a "candle stick holder with soil in there". Sort of my little special thing I've got going on with it. hahhaha

Added from post above. I planted it in soil the other day, and every day I'm babying it. Sunshine by the window all during the daytime, and flower food mixed with water. It's so tiny I placed it into a "candle stick holder with soil in there". Sort of my little special thing I've got going on with it. hahhaha This is soooo for a laugh, but, to show how much I've tried my best (heheh) to give this little seed a happy home, I've placed it in this little candle holder with potting soil, and "even entertainment" ;D next to it! I've got my fake silk flowers with fish hanging and butterflies etc... all for (the seed to be as happy as can be) and hopefully grow! heheheheh ((( I'm so being silly by posting this))) but... this also is because I'm taking everything and just trying to make the most of it. (appreciating the tiniest things in life) to it's utmost degree.

Should we make a Wolbachia thread - a place for all of us to input, or put it here?
I want to tell you'all a story? At the beginning, when I was in the 'body takeover' phase - all of these spheres were popping out of my head. I naturally went around the house and vacuumed them up. I was flipped out, as you can imagine... and I was afraid to leave the vacuum cleaner bag in the house with these particles in it. So... I took it outside to empty it where I had a burn barrel to open the vacuum bag to see what was falling out of me, I took a small flour sifter with me. I'm sifting all these spheres and I remember looking up at the sky to pray in my anguish because this was a totally unnatural feeling that was going through my body. I still have most of these particles from the vacuum bag... I sealed them up and wrapped them thoroughly with tape inside an envelope and then put them inside of plastic bags and taped them up and wrote "Biohazard" on the outside... lol... anyway, while I'm out there in the smooth dirt around the burn barrel - I think, 'Why don't you bury a few of these 'seeds' and see if anything grows?'... and I do. It was the end of Spring and some hard rains came and I didn't check the spot again for a while - anyway, when I looked next - nothing had grown. I think it's interesting that my first instinct was to plant the particles in dirt, though.
I don't think what we have coming out of our bodies will grow in dirt but, I could be wrong - as I didn't till nor prep the ground too much, nor let them get to a shoot stage - not like Toni, who is babying hers... it's a very interesting experiment, Toni, to say the least.
What if something comes up, something that looks like a Venus Fly Trap?... and it sings... "Feed me, Seymour!" ;D

We may be the seed in the pot some day. There is talk of creating a totally biocompatible plant/animal/human, with the genomes of all pathogens already written into the genetic code which would eliminate disease. That's too green for me.
Can you imagine what a human would look like?
This is Genome Wars I think. Maybe we could get a new reality show. How do you protect your genome? Everyone sits around on the couch pulling things out of their face. Maybe play a game of move two spaces and pull a fiber out.
Do we need a genome condom for every cell instead of a robot in every cell such as Robert Freitas has planned for us?
Is there a way to take time lapse photos of The Good Seed?

Yes, since the seed pod was in Toni's body, it might have some of her DNA in it? and... if a plant grew - it might have some of Toni's characteristics?... what would this plant look like, Toni? lol So, if something grows, it is literally Toni's baby, offspring? The farmer says to his wife - 'Let's plant some human seeds over here and get a new batch of farm hands?' They are messing with us in all ways - they are trying to recreate and make the prophecies of the Bible, Nostradamus, the Mayans... along with 'Little Shop of Horrors' to come true? Very sick indeed.

My little "seedling" might grow up into a flower and have blonde hair instead of pedals? heheh I'm so playing. I sure don't know, if I've got some "plant growing" and it's doing it's thing or what really. It's just that seed was sure in pretty good condition considering it came out of my face.

Well, got another reply from a Professor at Cornell Univ. [glow=red,2,300]*This is what he sent me back when I mailed him pictures of the seed (embryo)*[/glow] ==================================== Hi,
This is very interesting. Is it in tissue culture? What kind of plant is it?
It looks like an embryo that has germinated inside its seed coat. That long thing looks like a root (radical). This is not uncommon in some plant species.
Very interesting!
///////===================================== So, I wrote him back and let him know that I haven't a clue but am curious as to what he might think of "what kind of species germinates within the seed coat" - as he stated. Heck, hahah I couldn't tell him it's a Toni species.
