Looks like a frozen strawberry dessert treat. Neato!

Funnily enough fascism and fasciation come from the same Latin word of "fascis" meaning "bundle". The symbol of fascism is a bundle of sticks usually with an axe called a fascis. It's to signify authority and power, specifically in ancient Rome where modern fascists pulled it from. In fasciation, fascia or bundle/band refers too the elongated and flattened growth patters of the plant.

I love blue eyed grass, but the one I had in my yard did t come back this year... I guess I'll have to get more!

Damn you, fascists!

also known as a daaaaaaaaaaisy

I thought so too, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the info.

Definitely fasciation.

Middle finger

What is the hand shape for Rick?

My brothers and I used to make eating these things the penalty for losing at stuff.

Board games, Rick rock paper scissors, dares, etc.

Was good fun

Streets sites ahead

I posted there first

Cross post to bee butts

You know what, I never made that connection. I love NIN, but never noticed.

I love these flowers, and also they appear on the artwork of one of my favourite albums.

She was putting in some work filling them up.

Look at those pollen pants

I guess I always seen a female looking type on the top, and a male looking type on the bottom? With maybe a hood on top and maybe a mask or helmet on the bottom.

Yes, I'm a little weird, if you couldn't already tell :p

Or maybe my imagination was a little extra as a kid

Either way, when I found out they were slippers three decades later, it was shocking to me lol

They're not endangered near me. They just don't always show up. I see the yellow ones every year, while these pink ones are more elusive.

Always had these in my childhood yard. Lol.

I think they are endangered.

Oh my 😳 lol

That's interesting. I don't see a face myself. I supposed because I've always known these as lady's slippers I've always seen that. The pink ones look like something else entirely, lol.

My mom has some kind of a drawing or painting of two of these flowers in the guest bathroom at her house. I've always looked at them instead of seeing slippers for a lady, had seen some sort of ladylike face wearing a head covering or mask of some sort and wrapped in some kind of a garment. I'll have to take a picture next time I'm over there of the artwork, but growing up I totally seen a person not some footwear lol

I always see vaginas, lol. Maybe that says something about me. Nice PFP.
