Blogger vs Xanga
Blogger does not allow individual private posts. And, keeping a post prive by not publishing it doesn't work very well.
Rock Creek Park
After getting Mary's passport pictures at Walgreen's, we headed for the park. Perfect combination of sun and breeze. I got a good shot of the Passion flower or Maypop (passiflora incarnata) fruit, but not of the flower.
Maypop (P. incarnata) leaves and roots have a long history of use among Native Americans in North America and were adapted by the colonists. The fresh or dried leaves of Maypop are used to make an infusion, a tea that is used to treat insomnia, hysteria, and epilepsy, and is also valued for its painkilling properties. Maracujá (P. edulis) and a few other species are used in Central and South America for similar purposes. P. Incarnata has aromatase properties due to the presence of two flavonoid compounds: chrysin and benzoflavone moiety, the latter being more potent. -- Wikipedia
