Continuing to tour as both a country and Christian artist, she would release Nothing to Lose in 2005.[3] The album contained a total of ten tracks, six of which were composed by Smith herself. This included the title track, "God Gave Me You" and "When You're Down to Nothing".[1]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
