Looking at the manual, I believe that when you use this feature, it applies to all stations, no matter the program. This seems to be the case with most timers. This post was edited by irrigirl on Mon, Nov 3, 14 at 10:33

There is no doubt you could ID these plants and I'm sure you are a very good school teacher Floral. However, my point is, how could anyone make the determination that the student's assignment was to key out the plants and therefore withhold information -- particularly as this forum is well known as a resource and not as a sanctioning body of any type? The student may merely be using them to illustrate some aspect of the plants and requires a name to supplement his documentation. I'm sure he/she could have just as easily omitted to say it was in relation to an assignment and received an answer. In any case, I don't wish to make mountains out of molehills so I trust no-one has taken my comments too personally.

I think the hemiepiphytic suggestion is the closest. At that distance it is hard to tell but on enlarging the photo, the plant itself looks like a philodendron. They can be fully epiphytic, hemiepiphytic or even terrestrial but they tend strongly to the hemiepiphytic category and of two types: primary hemiepiphytic - growing from a seed high in the rain forest canopy but with age, sending roots down to the ground; and secondary hemiepiphytic - starting life as a seed from the ground or very close to the ground, then climbing the trees up into the canopy. Eventually they become fully epiphytic and the roots simply disappear. Did you need to ID the habit (epiphyte, hemi or terrestrial/liana) or did you need to confirm an ID of the plant itself? If the first, I'd say you nailed it regardless of the answer, as it could be any of the three :-)

A lot of people probably think “oh that’s in China”. It could easily happen anywhere. It is very scary. They have cameras everywhere and are able to recognize people on the street within an 80-90% accuracy. They can use this to keep people from being able to fly, buy a house and many other things. And where does the line get drawn as what those in charge deem as “bad behavior”. I’m sure there are people here that think it couldn’t happen here or it would be a long ways away. Technology is everywhere and it’s increasing. There are cell towers popping up everywhere, we have smart phones and cars that have gps that can track where we are. Even our appliances are becoming “smart”. Refrigerators, thermostats, electricity meters on our homes, speakers, radios, personal assistants (Alexa). I’ve even seen a cat box and an instant pot with WiFi. They are working on rolling out 5g internet. There just isn’t much info on the effects of all of this on humans. I know it may sound paranoid and I don’t mean for it to. I’m just saying we just need to pay attention to things going on around us. We’re all so busy. One day we may look up and wonder how things have changed so much and how we didn’t notice. I just wanted to bring this up to see your thoughts on it to have a civil conversation.
