    My dream is to get a job naming flowers. ;-)

    My dream is to be the guy in the Vatican whose job it is to make up new Latin words for modern things/phenomena that didn't exist in Roman times. I might have to kill a few cardinals to accede to the position, though. :-)

    You'd be great at that. But I can't see you in a little red hat.

    I could keep a Beretta in my biretta. Though, actually, as far as cardinal garb is concerned, it's the red socks that interest me more. But then I've always harbored a weakness for ecclesiastical haberdashery.

    Thank you for bracketing ecclesiastical haberdashery.

    So it's red socks for the fox, eh?

    I have favorited this list, and anxiously await future additions. In fact, you could say I await them with baited breadth. But then you would expose yourself to the mockery of others.

    How will I ever find out the variety of MY Iris?? I just planted them, willy, nilly years ago... They're kinda purple, does that help narrow it down?

  • reesetee commented on the list a-myriad-of-irii

    Well...no, I don't think so. Purple seems to be the predominant color of many varieties. But this site might help.

    Sionnach, if you're looking for even more fun with flowers, may I suggest these lists?

    I'm sure I've missed some, but mollusque is the only other wordienik I know who shares this obsession. Please post here if you know of others. :-)
