AND A WINNER IS . . . JOAN HALL for “STINGING NETTLE”!
Wow, this thing is heavier than I expected. Gee, what an incredible moment! This is something I’ve dreamed of since . . . gosh, I don’t know how long.
I’d like to thank the angels for looking down over this lens. And I want to thank everybody who inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a Giant Squid. And of course, thank you to the stinging nettle for being such a fascinating weed to write about.
If I can inspire just one person to freak out their family and friends by feeding them weeds, my purpose will have been accomplished. Thank you so much, everybody! Good night!

Joan Hall’s remarks following the announcement of her Purple Star were well done as was her lens. Congratulations! Purple is pretty.

Wow, that is a great lens! But, who would have guessed this weed was edible? Glad to hear it’s nothing like cooked spinach (bleech!)

LOL! Nice speech! Shall I add stinging nettles to my Christmas puddings? Maybe not.

I am heading there now to see this Purple Star lens that I keep reading about.
