Turkey, (a country in anatolia) was the gate way port from the exotic east to europe, of all things new, strange and wonderful

a new fowl? it must be from Turkey.. a turkey fowl.

(of course, those in the americas quickly got used to these new fowl, but called them turkey's anyway!)

and as for the fun name, the more i learn to look at flower and plants, the more sense their name have for me!

(but then, again, i LOVE Edward Lear's non-sense botany.. and force friends and relatives to look upon his wonderful plants --

he was a naturalist, and earned his income drawing illustrations for nature books.. but sometimes, it easy to believe some of his botany could be real..) in a world were there is turkey tangle frog fruits, anything is possible!

my other obsession
