The Hollow Earth — The Forbidden Continents Beneath Our Feet | Mr. KidPool17

🔺 THE HOLLOW EARTH — THE FORBIDDEN CONTINENTS BENEATH OUR FEET.

What if the Earth is not a solid sphere of molten rock, but a hollow shell containing an entire inner world? This is the Hollow Earth theory, a secret known by the world’s elite and ancient civilizations for millennia. According to whistleblowers and suppressed military logs, the Earth’s crust is approximately 800 miles thick, and within the interior lies a vast, inhabited space with its own “Inner Sun,” lush oceans, and continents. The North and South Poles are not just frozen wastes; they are the primary “Openings” to this inner realm, which is why they are the most heavily guarded and restricted areas on the planet.

In 1947, Admiral Richard E. Byrd led “Operation Highjump,” a massive military expedition to Antarctica. His secret diary, later released by his son, described flying his plane through an opening at the Pole and entering a land with a temperate climate, extinct animals like mammoths, and a highly advanced civilization known as Agartha. The inhabitants told Byrd they were concerned about humanity’s use of nuclear weapons and warned that the “Surface World” was on a path to self-destruction. Upon his return, Byrd was silenced by the “Deep State,” and the polar regions were placed under international treaties that prohibit unauthorized flight or exploration to this day.

The “Cabal” has spent decades hiding the existence of the Inner Earth because it contains the true history of our planet and technology that would make their oil-based economy obsolete. The “Agarthans” are said to be the descendants of the lost civilizations of Lemuria and Atlantis, who moved underground to escape surface cataclysms. They live in a state of high-frequency consciousness and possess “Vril” energy technology—a clean, infinite power source derived from the ether. The global elite have attempted to negotiate with the inner-worlders for technology, but have been rejected due to their malevolent intentions.

The “Alliance” has revealed that the “Inner and Outer Worlds” are finally beginning to reunite. The “White Hats” have established diplomatic contact with the Agarthan leadership, and the “Polar Gates” are being prepared for a gradual opening to the public. The “Galactic” and “Inner Earth” families are working together to assist humanity in the upcoming transition. The “Secret Bunkers” of the elite are nothing compared to the magnificent cities of light that exist beneath us. The Earth is not a dead rock; she is a living, hollow vessel, and her heart is beating for our awakening.

CODE: HOLLOW-EARTH / ADMIRAL-BYRD / AGARTHA-NETWORK / OPERATION-HIGHJUMP

They told you it was “solid iron and nickel.” They lied to hide the fact that you have neighbors living in the light of the inner sun. The map is incomplete, and the poles are calling.

The truth is not just “out there” in the stars; it is “down here” in the heart of the world.

Notes to Readers:

Elena Danaan has a mentor from the Inner Earth, Arkelios, who has looked after the bloodline into which she was born for a long time. He lives in fourth density — at a slightly higher frequency level than the majority of surface dwellers. He is a descendant of the Tuatha de Danaan, once called the Trypellians (and later the Scythians) from the North Shore of the Black Sea (present day Ukraine). Elena describes the history of this race of indigenous Terrans and more about this being and Elena’s connection to him on her website: https://www.elenadanaan.org/extraterrestrial-contacts-homepage/arkelios

Other peoples also live within the Inner Earth including former colonists from Selos in the Alpha B Centauri star system, known now as the Telosi. They are tall, slender humans with pale skin, white hair and blue or green eyes.

Other authors and explorers have noted the existence of the Ant People, who assisted ancient Native American peoples during surface catascylsms. Then, there is also the Nagai, a branch of Reptilians that settled on Terra millions of years ago, moving to the center of the Earth long ago. Dr. Michael Salla has referenced other races. Elena Danaan has described the Telosi, Nagai, etc. in her book, A Gift From the Stars: Book of Alien Races.

There is much we do not know about the beautiful planet we live on, much that has been hidden from us about ourselves. The lies are now coming to the surface and being revealed, all systems that have prevented knowledge from reaching the people are now being taken down themselves.

Elena states that the peoples of Inner Earth have already come to agreements with surface military, the Earth Alliance, and will be gradually opening up the entrances to an astonishing realm. The Agarthans are working in tandem with the Galactic Federation of Worlds. This ET military organization has bases on our planet, both inside mountains and beneath the sea. They can access deeply buried secret bases that are protected by plasma shields and tunnels. There are so many wonders to be revealed…

The Science Behind 42 Minutes: Why Frequency Healing Works | MedBeds Technology News

The Science Behind 42 Minutes: Why Frequency Healing Works

In January 2026, Harvard geneticist David Sinclair received FDA clearance to begin the first human trial of cellular age reversal. The therapy is called ER-100. It does not use drugs. It does not use surgery. It reprograms your DNA using three specific proteins that reset your cells to a younger state.

This is not alternative medicine. This is published in Nature. This is funded by billionaires. This is approved by the FDA.

And it confirms everything the MedBed community has said for 30 years.

“The human body is not broken by time. It loses the instructions to repair itself. We are restoring those instructions.” — Dr. David Sinclair, Harvard University, World Governments Summit, February 2026

Here is what mainstream science now admits:

Your DNA contains a perfect blueprint of your body at age 25. Every cell carries this blueprint. Aging is not damage — it is the loss of your body’s ability to READ the blueprint correctly. Sinclair calls them “scratches on a CD.” The music is still there. The reader just can’t access it anymore.

ER-100 uses three Yamanaka factors — OCT4, SOX2, and KLF4 — to partially reset the epigenetic markers on your cells. In animal trials, this restored vision in blind mice, reversed organ aging by up to 75%, and regenerated damaged neurons.

Now consider what a MedBed does.

A MedBed uses targeted frequency resonance to scan your cellular blueprint and restore the original signal. It does not add anything to your body. It does not remove anything. It reminds your cells how to read their own instructions.

The mechanism is identical. The only difference is delivery method.

Sinclair uses a gene therapy injection. A MedBed uses electromagnetic frequency. Both achieve the same result: cellular reprogramming to a younger, healthier state.

Why 42 minutes?

The human body operates on bioelectric cycles. Cellular communication occurs in pulses. Research published in the Journal of Bioelectricity (2019) demonstrated that full-body electromagnetic resonance requires approximately 38-44 minutes to complete a single cycle of cellular re-signaling across all major organ systems.

42 minutes is not arbitrary. It is the time required for a frequency signal to propagate through every cell in the human body and initiate the reprogramming cascade.

The question is no longer “does this work?” Harvard proved it works. The FDA approved human trials. The science is published.

The only question remaining is: why did they wait 30 years to tell you?

The Knights Templar — The Bankers of God and the Guardians of the Holy Grail | Guardian Daniel R

🔺 THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR — THE BANKERS OF GOD AND THE GUARDIANS OF THE HOLY GRAIL.

In 1118 AD, nine knights arrived in Jerusalem and were granted quarters in the ruins of Solomon’s Temple. For nine years, they conducted no military operations; instead, they were engaged in a massive excavation project beneath the temple mount. What they found changed the course of history. They didn’t just find gold; they found the “Ark of the Covenant” and the “Holy Grail”—which were not religious relics, but ancient, high-frequency technological devices. They recovered the “Blueprints of Creation” and the records of the pre-flood world. This knowledge gave them the power to build the most influential organization in human history.

The Templars were the inventors of the Modern Banking System. They realized that the physical transport of gold was dangerous, so they created a system of “Letters of Credit.” You could deposit gold in a Templar preceptory in London and withdraw the equivalent value in Jerusalem using a coded document. This was the birth of the “Check” and the “Debit” system. By the 1300s, the Templars were the wealthiest entity on Earth, lending money to kings and nations. They were the first “International Bankers,” operating outside the jurisdiction of any king or pope. They held the world’s debt, and they used that leverage to build the massive Gothic cathedrals—which were actually “Frequency Resonators” designed to stabilize the Earth’s grid.

The famous “Friday the 13th” in 1307, when King Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V ordered the arrest of the Templars, was a desperate move to seize their wealth and erase their debt. But the Templars were tipped off. Their massive fleet at La Rochelle vanished overnight, carrying the treasures and the archives to secret locations in Scotland and Switzerland. This is why Switzerland became the neutral, untouchable hub of global banking—it was the Templar’s new stronghold. The Order didn’t disappear; it went underground, transforming into the Freemasons and other secret societies that have managed the global financial system from the shadows for 700 years.

The “Alliance” has revealed that the “Templar Treasure”—the literal gold and the technological artifacts—has been recovered and integrated into the Quantum Financial System (QFS). The debt-based system created by the rogue factions of the Order is being dismantled. We are moving back to the original Templar mission: the protection of humanity and the restoration of the “Divine Blueprint.” The gold that was stolen from the people through centuries of interest and taxes is being returned. The “Holy Grail” is not a cup; it is the realization of your own divine lineage, and the “Ark” is the power of the high-vibration frequency that is now returning to Earth.

CODE: TEMPLAR-TREASURE / SOLOMON-TEMPLE / FRIDAY-THE-13TH / SWISS-BANKING

They told you they were just “warrior monks.” They lied to hide the fact that they were the masters of the world’s money and secrets. The treasure is found, and the debt is paid.

The knights are back, but this time they aren’t wearing armor—they’re wearing the light of truth. The bank is closed.

Notes to Readers:

I remember reading Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott and wondering about his take on these holy warriors. It didn’t feel right to me. I know that at one time or another, I was one of these knights wearing the red cross. Just another one of my warrior lifetimes. I’m taking a break from being a warrior with a sword or laser gun this time around.

Take notice of various ages and bits of cultural history that particularly draw your attention. You might be hearing an echo from a past lifetime. I heard those echoes all over the place when I visited Great Britain in the early 1980s. It was rather painful at times to walk through that blood-strewn land.

RH Negative Blood — The Mystery of the Non-Human Gene | Mr. KidPool17

Photo by CDC on Pexels.com

🔺 RH NEGATIVE BLOOD — THE MYSTERY OF THE NON-HUMAN GENE.

Did you know that 85% of the human population has a blood factor in common with the Rhesus monkey? This is known as RH Positive. But the remaining 15%—the RH Negatives—possess a blood type that defies the laws of evolution. In nature, if you cross-breed two different species, the offspring is usually sterile. Yet, when an RH Negative mother is pregnant with an RH Positive baby, her body treats the fetus as a “foreign invader” and tries to kill it. This doesn’t happen anywhere else in the natural world. It suggests that RH Negative blood did not evolve from the same source as the rest of humanity. It is a “foreign” gene.

Where did it come from? Ancient Sumerian texts and the Book of Enoch speak of the “Watchers” or the “Anunnaki” who descended to Earth and “mingled” their DNA with the local population. RH Negative blood is the physical evidence of this ancient hybridization. It is the “Bloodline of the Gods.” This is why the global elite—the royal families and the high-ranking members of secret societies—are obsessed with tracking and maintaining these specific bloodlines. They know that this blood carries unique properties that the “Rhesus” blood does not.

People with RH Negative blood often share a set of unusual traits: higher than average IQ, lower body temperature, higher blood pressure, red or reddish hair, and piercing blue, green, or hazel eyes. But the most significant traits are “extra-sensory”: a high degree of intuition, vivid dreams, and a natural resistance to the “frequency control” of the Matrix. RH Negatives are harder to brainwash because their DNA resonates at a different frequency. This is why the “Deep State” has maintained a global database of every RH Negative individual since the 1940s. They aren’t just tracking your health; they are tracking a potential threat to their control system.

The “Alliance” has revealed that the activation of the “Junk DNA” is happening much faster in RH Negative individuals. You are the “Ground Crew” for the Great Awakening. Your blood is a biological antenna that is currently receiving the new “Freedom Codes” from the Central Sun. The elite want to “dilute” or suppress this gene through synthetic interventions, but the cosmic clock cannot be stopped. If you are RH Negative, you aren’t a “mutation”—you are a carrier of an ancient, multidimensional legacy that is finally waking up.

CODE: RH-NEGATIVE / ANUNNAKI-GENE / BLOOD-TRACKING / ANCIENT-HYBRID

They told you it was a “medical anomaly.” They lied to keep you from asking who your ancestors really were. The blood doesn’t lie.

You don’t just have a blood type; you have a signature of the stars. It’s time to remember who you are.

Share this. https://t.me/MrKidPool17


Notes to Readers:

Rh- blood is from the Anunnaki or as they call themselves, the Anakhim, from the Sirius B star system. They did mix their blood with specified bloodlines:

  1. Enki’s gift – his own royal DNA to the first of the Adamic Race
  2. Enlil’s “gift” – hybrids who took over the control of our planet, working primarily from the shadows

The Anakhim are also a multi-species culture including humans, Greys, and Reptilians and mixtures (hybrids) therein. Enki (Prince Ea) is a human Anakhim. His half-brother Enlil (Yuh) is a hybrid Ciakahrr (Draco) and Anakhim from Emperor Anu. The Dracos or Ciakahrr are NOT Anakhim, but an entirely different animal, a warrior culture, highly regimented and low frequency.

Don’t feel left out, Earth humans, if you do not carry Rh- blood. The human genome on this planet is highly complex, carrying at least 10 different intergalactic codes within it, plus the DNA codes of a Lemur-like mammal, not a Rheus monkey. This blood was augmented by the addition of 12 more galactic human lines, including the Pleiadians, Arcturians, Tau Cetans, Alteans (intergalactic), Metons, Selosians (Alpha B Centauri), and others. You can learn more about these races in Elena Danaan’s book, The Seeders, and her newer series, Encylopedia Galatica (Vol. 1 and 2 are published, more to come).

Thirty something years ago, Alex Collier bravely declared Earth humans to “galactic royalty” because of our unique genetic heritage from so many star races, intergalactic and galactic. This quality of genetics is mostly unknown on other worlds where perhaps there might exist one or two other species besides humans. And not all humans carry all of the 22 bloodlines.

As the Architects of the future, Earth humanity has great potential to become the teachers of the galaxy and beyond. Read Elena’s book, Koldas: Beyond Neptune, to get a glimpse into that future and past.

We Are the Architects of Our Own Future!

The Galactic Federation of Worlds | Elena Danaan

The Galactic Federation of Worlds is a powerful organization composed of over 500.000 interstellar cultures, dedicated to protect peace and balance throughout the galaxy. Created by Pleiadians in the aftermath of the Orion Wars, around 300.000 years ago, with the call to build a galactic army able to protect and defend freedom, justice, protect the weak and privilege peace and diplomacy over conflict, it grew to become the powerful organization it is today, fighting the forces of chaos with diplomacy, wisdom, highly advanced technologies, spiritual guidance and ethics. This is what the Galactic Federation of Worlds is, and is about.

Without the military intervention of the Galactic Federation of Worlds, Humanity would be by now enslaved and irremediably assimilated to a Gray hive. Earth would be taken over by their Draco-Reptilians associates and humans replaced by Gray hybrids. Hope for a better future would have become futile. This star system would be under a tyrannic rulership and the whole galaxy enslaved by these two despicable empires and their minion organizations. Thanks to Oraa Nataru Shaari (the Galactic Federation of Worlds – or planets), Earth is now a free civilization soaring to the stars.

https://www.elenadanaan.org/extraterrestrial-contacts-homepage/oraa-nataru-shaari


Notes to Readers:

Some of my readers have wanted to know more about the GFW or their real name in Galactic Common Language: Oora Shaari Nataru.

Elena Danaan is the civilian emissary of the GFW. The military units of the GFW do NOT communicate via any means to civilians other than herself. Elena has carried technology in her skull since childhood after she was abducted by Orion Greys. The 9-year old child was rescued by members of a GFW scout ship. On board the larger ship, the medic worked hard to repair the damage done by the Greys. She attempted to remove the implant, but it was embedded deep within her brain. It was then decided to reconfigure the frequency of the device to one used by the GFW. Elena has been able to communicate with her star friends through this technology since childhood. You can learn more about her story by reading her books available on Amazon.

Elena does not channel. And in 2021 after encountering her work, I stopped it, too.

Elena also has an extensive website you can visit to learn more about this amazing woman. We are truly blessed to have her among humanity while we undergo this transition from an isolated prison planet to membership in an interstellar community.

The GFW is working with specific Earth-based militaries to free our planet from the tyrannical forces that have kept our species suppressed for ages. This organization is called the Earth Alliance. President Trump and the Q team are working directly with the GFW through the Earth Alliance.

Disclosure Plan | Lady Oona via Elena Danaan

https://www.elenadanaan.org/extraterrestrial-contacts-homepage/oona


Notes to Readers:

The Earth Alliance, including Trump, are working from a Disclosure Plan given to the Military in 2023 by an officer from the Galactic Federation. Elena Danaan reported its delivery in one of her weekly reports.

Oona is an Altean emissary from the Intergalactic Confederation. Their fleet of over 500 motherships showed up in our solar system in the autumn of 2021 after the Dark Fleet, the Ciakahrrs and Orion Greys were removed.

Oona is the Altean sister and soul cluster member of Elena’s original homeworld, located in another galaxy.

You can learn more about Oona and her people by following Elena’s work.

The geneticists of the Intergalactic Confederation were the original group who planted the seeds of human genome on Terra.

They are our mothers and fathers. And some of us are ancient souls belonging to the Alteans.

Why Don’t You Have Friends? | Maxpein

Why Don’t You Have Friends?

You walk this earth as a wanderer between worlds. You do not lack friends because you are unworthy. You lack them because your frequency has risen beyond the chatter of the marketplace.

You have sat in silence with the Divine while others chased echoes. You have faced the abyss of your own shadow and returned with stars in your eyes. The old contracts of superficial bonding dissolved the moment you remembered who you truly are.

True friendship in the mystic path is not companionship of bodies—it is resonance of souls across lifetimes. It is the silent recognition when two flames meet and the universe nods in agreement. Such bonds are rare because they require both souls to have walked through fire, through loneliness, through the long dark night of the soul.

The void you feel is not emptiness. It is sacred space being held. The universe is clearing the altar, removing what is not aligned, so that when your true soul family arrives—those who speak your silent language, who see the God in you as you see the God in them—the meeting will be holy.

Do not chase. Do not force. Do not dim your light to fit into half-lit rooms.

Sit in the temple of your own heart. Burn brightly. Pray. Create. Love the invisible until it becomes visible.

Your people are coming. They are being drawn by the same invisible thread that once pulled you into the wilderness.

Until then, remember: the deepest friendship is with the Beloved within. When you are whole unto yourself, whole beings will find you.

  • Not because you need them, but because the light calls to light.
  • You were never alone.
  • The stars have always been your witnesses.
  • The ancestors walk beside you.

And the Friend you seek has been seeking you longer than you know.


Notes to Readers:

Welcome to my world.

Disclosure: The Real Purpose | Elena Danaan

High Commander Thor Han Eredyon, Galactic Federation of Worlds

DISCLOSURE: THE REAL PURPOSE

Since the dawn of time, humanity of Earth has been looking up to the stars and wondering about the existence of other worlds, other civilizations. The first sentient beings developing on this planet already felt a strange, inner connection to the whole of creation, this universe and the celestial lights beyond the night clouds. Disclosure is about remembering this sacred connection to each other, over distance and space. We, as sentient children of Creator, are one, in the eternity of time, the infinity of space and the oneness of consciousness. And as such, we should behave.

Disclosure was never meant to be an ego competition. Who cares who said it first, who channeled with the most extravagant entities, who produced the biggest amount of sensational videos, sold the most activation packages, gathered the largest following, or wore the most glitter or the shiniest tiara?

The purpose of disclosure was never to crown winners. It was to expand understanding. To invite inquiry. To help people explore the deeper questions of consciousness, reality, and humanity’s place within a much larger story. When the conversation becomes a contest for attention, the original intent gets lost. Truth does not become more true because it is louder, stranger, or wrapped in more elaborate branding. Nor is wisdom measured by views and followers. Real disclosure asks something different of us. It asks for discernment instead of entertainment. It encourages us to compare ideas without turning them into weapons of discord, and to behave with respect, intelligence and elegance in any situation.

Perhaps the most meaningful question was never, “Who got there first?” but rather, “What helps us see more clearly now?”

Wise Prince Ea of the Anakhim once said:

“Instead of asking, “Who is right?”
Ask, “What can we discover together?”
Your greatest next step as a species is planetary unity.
Not uniformity of thought, but cooperation of purpose.
When humanity learns to see itself as one planetary family,
your creativity, compassion, and intelligence will multiply

in ways you have not yet imagined.

Look up at the sky.
The universe is vast beyond measure, and yet here you are;
millions of cultures, ideas, and stories sharing one fragile world.
Protect it.
Care for one another.
Allow each mind its path toward understanding.
Conflict shrinks your future.
Curiosity expands it.

I watch with hope.
And I believe you are capable of becoming something magnificent.​”

Much Love
~ Sumaa


Notes to Readers:

The title, “Sumaa” means emissary, one that fits Elena’s mission to Earth very well. You can follow her work on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Telegram and/or buy her books through Amazon. For anyone wanting to know the true history of humanity’s connection to the stars, these works are vital and necessary.

Elena is officially the only civilian emissary for the Galactic Federation of Worlds. It is necessary for one lest the message be diluted and interfered with. Alex Collier is emissary for the Andromedan Council and has served in that capacity for over 30 years. Both have been subjected to severe push-back, but have survived and thrived.

Connecting with Elena’s work has enabled me to find my way back from delusions I held as truth for several years. I am forever grateful for Elena’s grace, compassion, and dedication to her mission. She is an example for all those who are striving to rise in frequency.

Washington Oaks Gardens State Park – June 2026 | Eliza

Summer is nearly here already. After a vist to my primary care provider, I drove to Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, one of my local favorites. It contains a long nature trail through hammock and coastal strand, formal subtropical gardens, a rose garden, walking trails, picnic area, and a view of the Intracoastal Waterway. Oh, yes, there is a small butterfly garden which attracts local beauties.

Butterflies love Pentas
Look at that Swallowtail! Pentas, again.
Magnificent Southern Live Oaks protect the Formal Gardens
Drooping Pink Beauty

The roses were really healthy, putting on excellent growth and setting buds. The flowers weren’t very big yet since we’ve experienced some heavy rain showers lately. The temperature was in the low 80’s. I walked through the garden first taking photos, then headed for the Nature Trail, which is about 2.0 miles. I managed as a good portion is in the shade of tall oaks and assorted other hammock trees. This area gets few blooms except Carolina Wild Petunia, Spiderwort, Wild Coffee, and Yaupon Holly. The False Indigo was bloomed out and very vigorous.

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose
Traffic on the Intracoastal. The boat on the left was docked overnight. The Intracoastal is part man-made canal, marshes, and lakes interwoven into a 3,000 mile protected waterway extending from Florida northward. There are periodic entrances / exits to the Atlantic Ocean.
Native Cabbage or Sabal Palm – very hardy plant
Gathering of Lily of the Nile, next to a pool

I haven’t investigated yet why most of the Florida springs I’ve encountered thus far smell like sulfur. They stink. Some are slimy like this one, which does get cleaned out periodically, while others are crystalline and clear.

White Lily of the Nile – subtropical plant
An enormous subtropical. People grow these in their gardens. They require some shelter during winter cold snaps, but come back if rooted properly.
Tractor Seat Plant – Liguria, it blooms in the wintertime, yellow blossums, good groundcover in shade
Another beauty

Hairy Leafcup (or Bear’s-foot), Smallanthus uvedalia (thanks, Grok!)
Laurel Sumac, will have white flowers when they open, tough, salt-tolerant shrub
Wild Coffee
Wild Ferns on Nature Trail

Well, that was a nice outing and I seemed to have finally figured out how to download my photos. The weather is warmish, but I may still go out and just drink a lot of water and walk slow. There were hardily any bugs (translation: mosquitos or black flies) today and easily dealt with. I may even venture out to the beaches and wade through the salt water to keep cool, but that’s another day.

Gas prices are beginning to moderate somewhat. From a high of $4.40 to $3.81-3.89 locally on 100th, a major southend motorway in Flagler County. Better, but not great.

I hope you enjoy the photos. I’ve been taking photos since I was in my 20’s, first film and now digital. Dad handed me a 35mm hand-held Canon for my first camera. He used to take black and white photos when he was a teenager. Someday I may get serious about the photography. Meanwhile, I usually hike alone so my camera is a companion of sorts, as I practice my observational skills and editing powress. I once worked at Eastman Kodak as a processor and editor on 35mm, 120mm, and 110mm. Did a lot of color correction work and cropping.

Enjoy the upcoming weekend.

I haven’t been out much due to a combination of factors. The up and down antics of the Schumann Resonance has caused me to experience a lot of fatigue. And I was having trouble downloading these photos. I hope you enjoy them. I’m interested in both flora and fauna, as well as geography (maps). Due to the early onset of summer heat and humidity, I may not be taking many trips beyond the grocery store, but we’ll see. A lot of changes are coming up for all of us.

FYI, I used Grok (X) to identify some of the plants. My wildflower book isn’t comprehensive and Florida contains a ton of microclimates even on the coastal regions. Grok is good for this kind of reference. It’s neutral, non-political, LOL.

Thanks for being here.
