Aubrieta

Aubrieta (often missspelt as Aubretia) is a genus of about 20 species[1] of flowering plants in the cabbage family Brassicaceae. The genus is named after Claude Aubriet, a French flower painter. It originates from southern Europe east to central Asia but is now a common garden escape throughout Europe. It is a low, spreading plant, hardy, evergreen and perennial, with small violet, pink or white flowers, and inhabits rocks and banks. It prefers light, well-drained soil, is tolerant of a wide pH range, and can grow in partial shade or full sun.[2]

gollark: RSAPI uses AIOHTTP, which is nice apart from possibly being the cause of the unremovable eldritch horrors in RSAPI.
gollark: I sometimes use JS, but arguably this is worse.
gollark: Due to the great success of ABR's event bus, I'm implementing a vaguely similar thing for entirely unrelated reasons in RSAPI.
gollark: Using "event bus" technology, and "actual modules", and oh look ABR just DMed me?
gollark: I have tried a *lot* to debug it, and it failed, so I'm just throwing it out and rewriting it more nicely.
