I did really LOVE writing that....especially because I had the chance to make up species names for the bottle tree family. Now I'm looking around the neighborhood so that I can find others in the genus...and enough to write another fun post. If you see any up in Portland, be sure and name them and put them on your blog.<br />Bottela glassei is only species I've discovered so far. However, I've heard rumors of a Bottela rubio-picta (reddish tint). There might even be a new genus to stumble upon...who knows?
