The essay Botany, Prophecy, and Theology, first posted in August 2009, has been heavily revised and expanded to include the comments of several classic rabbinic commentators on a puzzling botanical metaphor in the book of Jeremiah. It can be seen at

Upcoming Torah Flora programs for summer 2010 are described at

I hope that fellow Plant-Ed subscribers will find these materials interesting. I encourage everyone to read and add comments to the Biblical ethnobotany articles posted at torahflora.org.
Best wishes,
