  7. No, sorry, I don't know what they are called. I absolutely love them, though. They are so wild:))

  8. Thank you so much for your comment on Fig, Newton! I have a Wacom tablet (crucial) & work in lots of layers-- it kills my computer but it's fun.

    We seem to have a lot in common-- I'm crazy about diagrams & spiky botanical curiosities. I'm guessing the bottom one is some variety of horse-chestnut? I've never seen one quite like it though.

    I lived in Copenhagen when I was nine-- my Dad was on a post-doc. I attended a Danish school, but sad to say I've forgotten nearly every word I learned in Danish.
