I'll google it right away. SHOOT! You won't believe this: I google lycopersicum deformis + images and this is what I get:"solanum lycopersicum" lycopersicum What is it this forum: Wonderland?Abacadabra? EDIT: Myridon, I'm no latinist,(would have liked it though). (?)Haha! By now I know you fooled me well! No wolf no peach.I could have known after the sempervirens etc. business, but.. I had a good laugh out of it.So you now deserve this awful unlubricous smile: It kept me off the street. Last edited by BranShea; 10/06/2007 1:48 PM.
