It’s really exciting and amazes me when an “extinct” plant shows up
somewhere.
Given the chance, plants just do not give up.
Now if my extinct Ukrainian beans would just show up!

Ma used to order plants from a nursery called Heronswood, decades ago.
The owner (a botanist) was always finding rare nearly extinct plants on his
trips to China and other faraway places, then cultivating them for sale.
The nursery was a real gardeners goldmine. Even his catalogs were
incredible, like novels..
Then he sold it to Burpee, who promised to run it the “same way” as he did,
and it tanked within 5 years.

I saw an article about a recently discovered thought to be extinct plant
It was in National Geographic
I guess national geo doesnt allow forwards

This is what the excerpt says

Almost looks like goldenrod

Once the plant was stockpiled alongside gold, and its saplings carried the
value of silver. It was said to cure everything from abdominal pain to
warts—and spice up a Roman lentil dish.

But nearly 2,000 years ago, the miraculous silphion was the first-ever
plant reported to have gone extinct. In central Turkey, however,
researchers believe they have stumbled upon the ancient silphion in the
wild (pictured above)—its grooved, buff-colored stalks giving off a
pleasant scent between eucalyptus and pine sap. “You can see why everybody
who encounters this plant becomes attached to it,” says professor Mahmut
Miski.

If the researchers are right, the plant could—once again—become a chemical
goldmine.

Another interesting article i read but not in nat geo

most interesting part: reversing polarization of cancer cells to make them
