   I can’t believe I actually clicked on the picture of the plant, to see it closer.

   What the heck is going on in that picture to the left of the plant? I don’t even want to know.

   If it’s a girl, Gladys. If it’s a boy, Sven.

   John Greenleaf Whittier, named of course after the influential American Quaker poet. Come on, people, he wrote “The Song of the Vermonters, 1779” in 1828:

   ###########

   “Hurrah for Vermont! For the
   land which we till

   Must have sons to defend her
   from valley and hill;

   Leave the harvest to rot
   on the fields where it grows,

   And the reaping of wheat
   for the reaping of foes.”

   ###########

   I think the name fits. The Greenleaf part if obvious. The Whittier part is because Alison and her sister are both whittier than any of us.

    i like the name “bologna”.
    id say it has a special ring to it.
    and the trickery in the spelling/pronunciation…classic.
