Doesn't that sound like a special place for people to go and ... well you get the idea. "Sir," hand held over mouth in an effort to hold back lunch, "could you direct me to the nearest vomitoria?" Cracks me up. Call me weird. <br /><br />And interestingly 'vomitoria' means exactly what it we think it would mean. A plant that induces vomiting.

And congratulations on your 500th post.<br /><br />One of my favorite botanical terms is autotrophic nutrition, which I learned from Botany for Gardeners by Brian Capon. It refers to plants that photosynthesize, and it begins when a seedling stops feeding on the prepared food source of the seed and begins to create all the food it will need for itself using photosynthesis.MulchMaidhttp://mulchmaid.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-23071419879939398952010-12-22T13:00:53.258-08:002010-12-22T13:00:53.258-08:00Congrats on 500, may I one day grow up to be like ...Congrats on 500, may I one day grow up to be like you - here's one I've always had trouble with: santolina chamaecyparissusdathomiri witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568100871398467677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-84560124754460898812010-12-22T12:24:13.582-08:002010-12-22T12:24:13.582-08:00I have a very childish entry, the botanical name ...I have a very childish entry, the botanical name for Titan Arum: Amorphophallus titanum - tee hee hee heee<br /><br />congrats on post 500Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501301078027611367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-69815115209717918452010-12-22T11:35:36.183-08:002010-12-22T11:35:36.183-08:00Congratulations, can I say say you do not look 500...Congratulations, can I say say you do not look 500.<br />I know I can not enter but if I could it would have to be either agave guadalajarana, simply for the sheer number of a's.
