==Restarting the [[Bloom clock]]==
Today is [[w:solstice|solstice]], Winter for the North, and Summer for the South, so I'm hoping to restart the bloom clock today (making it a semi-annual clock). The clock is a [[Portal:Research|research project]], which anyone can contribute to.

To participate, all you need to do is notice what plants are flowering on any particular day, and report it on the clock page by signing under the plant <nowiki>(four tildes: ~~~~)</nowiki>. If you don't know what a plant's name is, you can take a picture of it and someone can try to identify it for you. 

By participating in the bloom clock, Wikiversitans can learn new things about the "green creatures" we see every day (we'll of course be linking everything to wikipedia and wikibooks), while at the same time assembling a database that could be of [[Bloom clock project/How bloom clocks are used|great benefit]] to agriculturists and horticulturists. --[[User:SB_Johnny|{{font|color=green|'''SB_Johnny'''}}]] | <sup>[[User talk:SB_Johnny|{{font|color=green|talk}}]]</sup> 02:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
