CHEESES?

CHEESES? Yes, Cheeses.

From Marianne Girards, who first identified the Mallow plant for us-

Common Mallow , the name 'Cheeses' refers to the FLAT, round fruit, which is visible with a hand lense or if nearsighted ......"GO DOWN ON YOUR KNEES" and observe the wonders of nature.

Which I plan on doing today. I've pulled out the old botany glass magnifier and in the odd moment when the Divines are napping today or somesuch, I'll get down on my knees and do some sleuthing...after all that's what the original Irregulars were all about.
