The flower you asked about Carlie are in the Rice flower family...at least I think so because I dries very quickly and smells like marijuana. The process of buying at the flower market is hectic and often a race against the clock (with eric avoiding the parking meter maids) so I sometimes grab and go. The writing on the receipts I come home with are remarkably similar to eygptian hieroglyphics. Today I looked back at them to try and decipher this rice flower thing and found a listing for what looked like tulips and poppies, neither of which I bought.

*Aside; finding this chart just now I come to the sad realization that the tattoo I got when I was 16 and obsessed with ancient Egypt actually means something along the lines of "Pool-eagle-mouth-eagle-flax" rather than my name. Most unfortunate.

I'm coming around again later this evening with some garden updates and such.

This won't succeed as a matter of fact, that's exactly what I consider.

It might not mean that, the tattoo I mean, Hieroglyphics can be deciphered two ways. Phonetics - where each hieroglyph represents a letter of the alphabet or Logographics where a hieroglyph can be interpreted as a single symbol that represents a whole word. The tattoo might mean your name phonetically...
