On April 12th, seven months into the S-weed walks, the Stinging Nettle was given its fourth appearance on the Web. This more or less completed a display of its growth cycle. Since one of the multiple aspects explored through the craft of growing S-weeds in Cyberspace is what kinds of Web-weaving structure might emerge from a chosen content - and as four instances of a given species touched some kind of limit in my perception - the addition of monographic pages, showing one S-weed across the year, emerged as a sensible idea.
I produced a number of those pages - for the S-weeds to the right of this scrap - linking them to their counterparts in the chronological sequence by a sunflowerseed icon. Then, as spring and early summer brought so many new weeds to my attention, and I started presenting more than one weed every day, the Sunflower Seed Pages fell behind. I may come back to them - or I may not.
The Sunflower Seed Pages are, for now, in Swedish only - another exploration of my writing space, where I find myself strangely blocked in using my first language for writing anything but private mail. I will certainly return to the significance of that blockage, and figure out how to get around it - although not necessarily here. For THIS site I should rather provide an alternative in English - if and when I ever get back to the monographic track.
There was also another reason for using Swedish in these pages: they are all linked to the corresponding page at the excellent site Den Virtuella Floran at the Swedish Museum of Natural History which is also exclusively in Swedish. As far as I have been able to tell in my browsing of botanical websites, this site is unique, and uniquely useful. All you non-swedish speakers are really missing something!
