Some Links for the Valentines' Day 'Love Potions' Tour

I'd like to thank everybody who took the 'Love Potion' tour this last Valentine's Day. It was a huge success and everybody was real enthusiastic -a great audience and I was privileged to be a part of the whole thing. Some people were asking that I post whatever references I had for the tour and so here are some of them -I'll post more at a later date.   Cheers,   Frank Promegranate (Punica granatum) https://ojs.lib.byu.edu/spc/index.php/StudiaAntiqua/article/viewFile/11992/11932 http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/pomegranate.html Olive (Olea europa) http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop../janick-papers/fruits-bible.pdf http://faculty.wwu.edu/~zaferan/Ithaca%20Curriculum/agriculture/Sustainable%20Agriculture%20-%20Olive%20Oil.pdf Peaches (Prunus persica) http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Peach https://ia600504.us.archive.org/17/items/mythslegendsoffl00skin/mythslegendsoffl00skin_djvu.txt Apple (Malus domestica) http://www.four-h.purdue.edu/apple_genomics/folklore.html Mulberry (Morus sp.) http://cmes.arizona.edu/sites/cmes.arizona.edu/files/The%20Love%20Story%20of%20Pyramus%20and%20Thisbe.pdf https://ia600504.us.archive.org/17/items/mythslegendsoffl00skin/mythslegendsoffl00skin_djvu.txt Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) http://ucanr.edu/sites/uc_master_gardeners/files/154651.pdf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary http://aromaticamedica.tripod.com/id23.html Mango (Mangifera indica) http://bhort.bh.cornell.edu/conservatory/cpage3.html” Banana (Musa sp.)
