a year in the garden

Coffee and The Gardening Crossword Book III for breakfast, a surprisingly diverse source of knowledge just in Introductory Miscellany:

• Frogbit = or Hydrocharis morsus-ranae, a floating aquatic plant with heart-shaped leaves and white flowers, from the Greek then Latin “water, graceful, a bite and a frog”.

• Annelid = types of segmented worms, including ragworms, earthworms and lugworm and leeches

• Mimulus = the monkey flower, though I can’t see the monkey’s face myself.
