From last week's 'Wired Science,' on Zone Creep caused by global warming. The Magnolia is the Mississippi state flower, but a) it isn't red, and b) that isn't Mississippi. Ooops ...
wow...true that..the magnolia is more creamy in color and less lotus like than depicted in that graphic. however sad it may be that the actual physical state of mississippi is east of said spot, having grown up in mississippi...alabama, not that much difference...
