I'll trade you. <grin> My odd question of the week wants "...nice plants of
Ceropegia ampliata and Ceropegia sandersonii."
If Reese wants the answer his teacher 'knows', it's part of the The Learning
Kingdom's Cool Fact of the Day series (for October 6, 2000.) Be warned, though,
these Cool Facts aren't always true.
If Reese wants more...do a websearch for thermogenesis, thermogenecity, or
thermogenic flowers.
I was surprised to discover that the Amazon water lily, Victoria amazonica,
apparently has thermogenetic properties.

A root is a flower that disdains fame.
