It is only by each other that they have the possibility of reproducing, and so it may even be argued that it was symbolic of love in the area they had originally come from. I honestly don't know. However... Once you have room, please take a Cardia Mythos and plant it where you have made space. While you are doing that, someone tell me what you know about the plant just by looking at it. I'll give you a hint: the leaves are long and slender, there are no branches, just stems, and the resulting flower will be three-petaled."
Allie got a flower, then raised her hand.
"Well, sir, by looking at it we know its defiantly a flower." Allie tried, not really knowing the answer to the question, but she hated not answering. So when in doubt, state the obvious.
"And you know, of course, what you said, about the long ans slender leaves, no branches,and just stems."
Allie giggled a little but at her answer..it wasn't a very intelligent one.
