Throughout my time at Fleming college, I have contributed several articles to an independent magazine distributed at the campus. All of the articles are written by students for students. Ontop of contributed botanically inquisitive articles and poetry, I decided to leave a lasting impression on the very last issue to be published by designing a new logo for the cover.
Below is a link to the article that I wrote in the magazine. Since this is art-time and not story-time, I will leave it at your discretion if you would enjoy reading it. It is entitled Outside the Hops and explores the hops plant and it’s relationship with people, examining it’s significance as a medicinal herb, it’s taxonomy and it’s importance within the history of brewing.

Mr Nagy.
Story times are indeed art times.
Don’t forget that.
oH,
and I love the drawing – you are the master of plant drawing.
The drawing is amazing, and the article is a masterpiece… or at least, it WOULD BE if you italicized the goddamn scientific name!
Diploma REVOKED!
Awesome work, except for making me reading a BRUTAL PICTURE of an article instead of including a digital copy! It was very interesting though. I am inspired to make beer with yarrow — or maybe honey mead with yarrow.
One question — humulus plants, doesn’t each rhyzome produce male and female shoots? How can one only grow female plants? Even if you take cuttings it will eventually produce rhyzomes, which will produce males, no?
Hop plants are dioecious plants. This means that an individual only has one gender. Therefore, plants are either male or female and only produce those specific types of flowers (male = staminate, female = pistilate) So when you cut a root of a male plant, you won’;t have to worry about it changing genders because it is the same genetic information that denotes whether or not that specimen is male or female.
Fact: It is against the law in Germany to plant a male hop plant in your garden. There are so many hop yards in Germany that the growers can’t afford a stray pollen grain to contaminate their desired seedless crop and export product. So, female hop plants are the only gender l egal to plant in the country.
