Glistening through a tear of tremulous admiration

Confirmed my hypothesis about the homeless guy in Stacey's - he will move over if asked politely.
I am over-pleased with my new plant dictionary. Inside are gems like

• Boojum tree Idria columnaris
• Darling lily Crinum flaccidum
• Firewheel tree Stenocarpus sinuatus
• Honesty Lunaria annua
• Joker's hat chilli Capsicum baccatum 'Bi-Bell'
• the Larch Larix
• Nodding clubmoss Lycopodiella cernua
• Painted tongue Salpiglossis sinuata
• Rosy posy Rhodohypoxis baurii
• Toadflax Linaria, L. vulgaris
• Velvet prickly pear Opuntia tomentosa
• Zombi palm Zombia antillarum

I'm almost as pleased about the darling lily as I was to find out Grace Darling was a real person.
