Red's at the bottom of the bean bin

This here is the plant du jour, Ray-mone?

Oui, Monsieur Rouge.

Well, all righty then.

Silene antirrhina. I am one of the occasional ones of my species you may encounter that lacks petals. I don't need no stinking petals. I have a capsule. I have sticky mucilaginous bands on my stem. I grow in this particular spot, thanks to the oak tree I'm under that killed off everything else. I'm not sure how it did that, but I'm grateful. The Crumby Ovate spells that I am good fer keeping rhinoceroses away. Er, is that rhinoceri?
