---|---|---|---|
Paradisea liliastrum (St. Bruno's lily) | A graceful alpine meadow plant[3] with grasslike leaves. Pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers, 3–6 cm (1–2 in) long, with prominent yellow anthers, are borne in late spring.[4] It can be propagated by division of the roots in autumn, or from seed. In good soil it grows to 90 cm (35 in) high, and is used as an ornamental in herbaceous borders. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[5] | Mountains of southern Europe,[6] | |
Paradisea lusitanica | taller than P. liliastrum, growing to 80–120 cm (31–47 in) tall by 30–40 cm (12–16 in) wide; but with shorter flowers 2 cm long.[4] | Portugal and Spain | |
gollark: You could use some sort of FSMable regex subset, yes.
gollark: Every sufficiently complicated Discord bot eventually evolves a bad custom CLI argument parser, an economy somehow, and some kind of limited on scope esolang.
gollark: What it ABRHighlight deterministic finite automaton?
gollark: > doesn't abrhighlight already exist for gollarkNo comment.
gollark: Hypothetical ABRHighlight™ will maybe support regexes and some simple predicatey language and/or heavily limited Lua.
