Dalmatian was interesting. I had no idea that the Dalmatian was named after Dalmatia--because I'd never heard of Dalmatia, I'm ashamed to admit.
Where else would one find growing Linaria dalmatica (L.) P. Mill.. Trifolium dalmaticum Vis., and/or Dianthus dalmaticus Celak?
Or see someone wearing a dalmatic?
Or, for that matter, see Dalmatians (the people, not their dogs) in their native habitat?
Or hear Dalmatian spoken (except that nobody has spoken it since 1898)?
Or buy Dalmatian insect powder, made from the pyrethrum flowers which grow there?
Where, I ask you?
