I hope I have got my alphabet right :sweat_smile:

My apologies @Mrs5K and @axnr911 , I really am. I know how much you love your waterfalls, but I could not resist an unmissable opportunity, especially as I have tried so hard not to miss out on the letter P.

The below image is a picture of Pando Aspen Grove, the world’s largest single organism made up of 40,000 trees across 106 acres.

.

Pando, an enormous quaking aspen that spans more than 100 acres (40 hectares) in Utah, is not only one of the largest known organisms on Earth — it’s also one of the oldest, scientists have discovered.

Ever since I first met young Roland, who uses the moniker @pando, I wondered why Pando? Then purely by chance I found out about this amazing single largest (and oldest) living organism. It is truly amazing and I am fascinated by it. In fact it is just as amazing as our friend Roland, @pando. Perhaps Roland, you can put me out of my misery, why Pando?

Namaste|

Ahhh, indeed you have discovered pando, the “trembling giant” It means “spread open” in Latin, but in Utah it refers to a single collective mass of root stems spread out over a huge area making it the heaviest known organism on Earth.

There are, in fact, many meanings ; but that’s the one I love.
Greetings and good wishes to you, Roland
