| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Jane Porone. Are you ready to be tested? |
| 0:24.5 | Get your little grey cells firing because it's quiz time. |
| 0:41.8 | Hello and welcome to On the Ledge podcast. It's the final episode of 2020. So I thought we'd have some fun. And coming up, a clutch of questions to test your planty knowledge and to see whether you've been paying attention to On the Ledge. |
| 0:47.8 | Plus, we hear from listener Alanna in Meet the Listener and I answer a question about Anna Aelo. |
| 0:58.1 | In just six days I'll put out my special bonus episode which is not anything to do with |
| 1:06.2 | houseplants but just a bit of fun for the festive season. I hope you enjoy it and would love to know what you think, |
| 1:13.3 | but you've got to wait just under a week for that, |
| 1:15.7 | so keep it on on your feed. |
| 1:17.9 | Then there's a break of two weeks, |

| 1:25.9 | Do you remember that the Facebook group is there to get you through the off |

| 1:37.8 | else plant related on that Facebook group which is solely populated by On the Ledge listeners, and it's a wonderful community |
| 1:46.0 | to be a part of, especially when On the Ledge is off the air. I discovered the other day, |
| 1:51.3 | incidentally, that there is an On the Ledge podcast lounge on Reddit. Who knew? I've put a link to it |
| 1:59.4 | in the show notes. It's completely empty right now, but if anyone's on Reddit and wants to chat with other On the Ledge listeners, then do go and join that page and get chatting. |
| 2:12.7 | Thank you to Amanda for sending me a gorgeous picture of her greenhouse cabinets in response to |
| 2:18.6 | episode 166. And thanks also to Jeff for his wonderful email about the peanut cactus. He heard |
| 2:25.0 | me mention the peanut cactus back in my episode with Bob Potter on euphobias. And he explained that |
| 2:31.5 | this plant is a bit of a mystery because it's never been found in the |
| 2:35.4 | wild. I'll put a link in the show notes to more details on the interesting history of |
| 2:41.4 | Echinopsis Chamasarius or as it was called when I was a kid, Chamaseriis Silvestrii. It's a really |
