I asked her why this plant, so UNLIKE a smoked sausage in EVERY POSSIBLE
WAY was so named, and she said, it was called that when she got it because
it reminded somebody of the way it changed colour of the way smoked
sausages change colour. I will ask her again. We both CLEARLY thought this
was one wanky name. OR, i could be misremembering...so i will get the
