Who knew? I saw that a lot about Dee's columns. I did not know the word Floriography before this issue came out! Check it out today in the pages of the latest Poplar Magazine.

The recent poor decision by the Alberta government to ban certain books from school libraries got me thinking about the Victorian era and the subsequent use of flowers to convey secret messages.

I sincerely look forward to the day I can finally site down with Nick Carter, face to face and thank him over a pint for his commitment to our pages...another fantastic offering, Prairie Dogs and Proper Names covers a ton of ground where names in nature are concerned.

Nick's been with me from the start and it has been an adventure all on its own see his columns evolve. Check out In the Rut from the latest issue of Poplar Magazine.

The woods echo with the sounds of boastful bugles and the clattering of antlers — the rut is on. A sound that is a call to some, while a warning to others, but what exactly is the rut?

I've worked hard to make Poplar what it is and in this editorial, I do get a tad political however, it is more about my "Why" and I think that is an important thing to continue to self challenge. Have a read, I hope you like it.
