Marvelous bit of seed history. I love it when our poetry is educational as well. Thank you! I’ll be researching more on this subject.

A short poem sometimes packs more of a punch than a longer one – your poem proves that. As Anotherkatewilson says: ‘Fascinating!’

In reply to ben Alexander. Yes, I learned about it a few months ago in the Cosmos: Possible Worlds episode (mentioned above in the additional information section) devoted to Nikolai. When the prompt came in an mentioned the new seed bank in Norway, it sparked my remembrance of this, I feel a need to expand the poem (without a 44 word limit) and tell more of the story, which I think I will do in the coming days.
