Nemesia (plant)

Nemesia is a genus of annuals, perennials and sub-shrubs which are native to sandy coasts or disturbed ground[2] in South Africa. Numerous hybrids have been selected, and the annual cultivars are popular with gardeners as bedding plants.[3] In temperate regions they are usually treated as half-hardy, grown from seed in heat, and planted out after all danger of frost has passed.

gollark: Just get another computer, `set shell.enable_disk_startup false` (or something like that), plug in a disk drive, make a simple program to automatically delete `startup` on any disk you put in.
gollark: Very easily?
gollark: ... you know you *can* wipe them?
gollark: Or something else, like a peripheral on their network I can filter by.
gollark: I can uninstall potatOS from them remotely if you give me some way to filter for them.
