Your genus names got me recalling one of my favorite flower names -- Ixiolirion. Isn't that pretty? However, when I googled it, it wasn't the flower I had in my mind's eye. Still more googling to find my minds-eye-flower is Acidanthera. Well, was. Now it's apparently called Gladiolus murielae. And yes, it is named after a Muriel. And is still often sold as Acidanthera bicolor. It is pretty in form and color, and is fragrant. I was all about fragrance when I was gardening.TimInMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004213142269007247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037395117572651907.post-35585645432623725142013-09-23T05:21:15.268-04:002013-09-23T05:21:15.268-04:00Life is "punderful"!

The video is worthy of an award, given its brilliance and quality. <br /><br />Was a joy to listen to, after days of wondering, where in Bohemian Rhapsody, did Freddie Mercury mention any science? The song is so long, I've never been able to concentrate on listening to the whole song, without mentally drifting away. <br /><br />The laugh was on me, but I'm impressed. Plus, my mind didn't drift much. Nice find!Wyman Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246828004909260940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037395117572651907.post-57055488135898688562013-09-22T13:34:07.847-04:002013-09-22T13:34:07.847-04:00Wyman: Punny.Wyman: Punny.Ann Finkelsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505478203827894237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037395117572651907.post-22881420787752021392013-09-20T22:51:03.075-04:002013-09-20T22:51:03.075-04:00Not since the (probable) discovery of the Higgs Bo...Not since the (probable) discovery of the Higgs Boson, have I heard a Bohemian Gravity Rhapsody with such Mass appeal! Indeed, a weighty song! I won't mind Hawking this song to Nerdly Worldlies. <br /><br />I'm sure Queen's Brian May relates well to this Timeless song.<br /><br />Sometimes, in life, it's good I'm bound within Four Dimensions. 4D has infinite pleasures of its own.
