Stalk: long and drooping. # Flowers: three open flowers and many buds, sprouting from two # sinuous, drooping branches; ome uncolored, most painted dark. # Stalk: short. Chalix: spherical, with a short trumpet # of fused sepals ending with a scalloped edge. Petals: # longish in the open flowers, resembling a diver's paddle foot with three # fingers, painted dark; folded into the chalyx in # the immature buds. Core, stamens, and pistils: not visible. # # Tunneling through the tubers are two animals that could be # snakes or earthworms: legless, with long, sinuous bodies # ending with a rounded tail. Their head resembles that of # a sea horse, and both have a row of dots along the back. # # There are three paragraphs (with 3.0, 7.6, 9.6 lines). # The first one, squeezed above the plant, is left- and # (roughly) right-justified. The other two, that lie # between 1/4 and 3/4 of the page's vertical extent, # are left-justified, and follow the plant's outline at right. # # Comments: # # The head and snout details of the snakes resemble those of the # "baby dragon" in f???. There is a resemblance also to the fishes # in the Pisces symbol (f???) and the birds in the "Garden of Eden" # page (f???). # # It is not clear how the "snakes" are related to the plant. # ## {} # text # Last edited on 1998-12-11 12:46:44 by stolfi # # Weirdos: # # &q" = with a plume over the connector # po!shol.dy.shor.shol.shtchy.shor!pchor.opchor.shor!kchy- py.chol.dy.chor.shol.shtchy.shor.pchor.opchor.shor.kchy- py!chol.dy.shor.shol.shtchy.chor.pchor.opchor.shor.kchy- pa!shol.dy.shor.shol.shtchy.shor.pchor!opchor.shor.tchy- # qotor.sho.chotchy.choshy.qopchor.qo.dor.daiin- qotor.sho.chotchy.choshy.qopchar.qo.dor.daiin- qotor.sho.chotchy.choshy.qopchor.qo.dor.daiin- # dsho-{plant}dchor.dchor.daiin.dor.cheo.raiin={plant} dsho-{plant}dchor.dchor.daiin.dor.cheo.raiin={plant} dsho-{plant}dchor.dchor.daiin.dor.cheo.raiin={plant} dsho-{plant}dchar.dchor.daiin.dor.cheo.raiin={plant} # ksho.qodain.chotshy.dodar-{plant} ksho.qodain.chotshy.dodar-{plant} ksho.qodain.chotshy.dodar-{plant} ksha.qodain.chotshy.dodar-{plant} # chor.sheor.chey.teey.qotan-{plant} chor.sheor.chey.teey.qotan-{plant} chor.sheor.chey.teey.qotan-{plant} # olor.shshes.sh!eoty.chol.daiin- olor.shee!s.shoeoty.chol!daiin- olor.shshes.sh!eoty.chol.daiin- # qokeor.cheey.qokchy.qotody-{plant} qokeor.cheey.qokchy.qotody-{plant} qokeor.cheey.qokchy.qotody-{plant} # chot.chor.chy.cheet.qolsor- chot.chor.chy.cheet.qolsor- chot!chor.chy.cheet.qolsor- # o.y.keeey.chey.kshey.choroiin-{plant} o!y!keeoy.chey.kshey.choroiin-{plant} o!y!keeey.chey.kshey.choroiin-{plant} o!yk!eeey.chey.kshey.choraiin-{plant} # sho.r.choiin.shor.shor.shy- cho!r.choiin.shor.shor.shy- sho.r.choiin.shor.shor!shy- # chotcheol.dchol= chotcheol.dchol= chotcheol.dchol= # podaiin.cheo.kcho.daiin.chcthy-{plant} podaiin.cheo.kcho.daiin.chcthy-{plant} podaiin.cheo.kcho.daiin.chcthy-{plant} # s{&S}od.chol.y.tcheol.daiin.cthodd-{plant} sh!!!od.chol.y!tcheol.daiin.cthodd-{plant} sh!!!!d.chol!y.tcheol.daiin.cthodd-{plant} # q{&q"}o.shoqoky.shor.sheor.otol.daiin-{plant} q!!!!!o.shoqoky.shor.sheor.otol.daiin-{plant} sh!!!!o.shoqoky.shor.sheor.otol.daiin-{plant} # ochol.chol.chody.dchodaiin.daiin-{plant} ochol.chol.chody.dchodaiin.daiin-{plant} ochol.chol.chody.dchodaiin.daiin-{plant} # q{&q"}ocho.cheey.dchey.qotchody- q!!!!!ocho.cheey.dchey.qotchody- q!!!!!ocho.cheey.dchey.qotchody- # olol.ol!chey.chey.kchy.qotchol.chosory-{plant} olol!ol.chey.chey.kchy.qotchol.chosory-{plant} olol.ol!chey.chey.kchy.qotchol.chosory-{plant} # sheor.cheol.od.cho.dcheeey.qotcho!tchy- sheor.cheol.od.cho.dcheeey.qotcho!tchy- sheor.cheol.od.cho.dcheeey.qotcho.tchy- # dcheo.r.cheey.keol!chey.chokchol.chokan-{plant} dcheo!r.cheey.keol!chey.chokchol.chokan-{plant} dcheo.r.cheey.teol.chey.chokchol.chokan-{plant} # qotcho.chodr.cho.choshy.chs.oriin- qotcho.chodi.cho.chochy.chs.oriin- qotcho.chodr.cho.choshy.chs.oriin- # odchy.chor.ety.shol= odcho.chor.ety.shol= odchy.chor.ety.shol= odchy.chos.ety.shol= #
