Love is a garden of thorns

[sovay]

To all you surreal botanists out there:

As many of you already know, the prestigious academic division of Two Cranes Press has recently announced its forthcoming publication of the first Field Guide to Surreal Botany. Do not miss out on this unique opportunity to have your discoveries—however discredited by popular science rags or disbelieved by laymen—recorded and illustrated for all the world to know, cherish, and occasionally extirpate. Payment may enable you to move those terraria out of your bedroom and somewhere less liable to lawsuit.

Best of luck!

maybe I can come up with a new species. Did you know there really is a plant called "lesser celery"?

I hadn't known. So is there a least celery?

At the time Tina and I wrote "The Incredible Shrinking Woman Stalks Supper," where we first used the phrase "lesser celery," neither of us knew such a species existed. We were only comparing the relative merits of asparagus and celery. But the existence of a real species of that name adds depth to the poetic meaning...or something like that.

Is there a Least Antilles?
