Penny floors

Saw this kitchen floor made by mosaic artist Amanda Edwards using pennies. Seems like a great idea. I was actually thinking of using this idea for a backsplash, but still a lot to consider.

Gardening: The Russian permafrost flowers are a good reminder for gardeners

I love this story about the flowers that grew out of seeds that were frozen for 30,000 years:
