| Discovery Notes | I collected the soil from a very marshy area of a dried up pond. The soil was very wet and semi- hard, like a clay substance. It was brown and clear with not many additional components (sticks, leaves etc) |
| Naming Notes | The name Hong Mushu was inspired by the movie Mulan. Mulan was my favorite Disney movie growing up and I also felt like Mulan's story resonated with my Phage. I also liked Mushu's character :) I admired a quote in the movie that said " The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all". My Phage did exactly this, hence why I thought it was only right that I pick a name that related to Mulan. |
