The plant blooms in stalks holding rounded clusters of bright raspberry red flowers, each only a few millimeters wide.

gollark: I mean, you could possibly make `sign` or whatever add the currying thing without affecting normal (non-vararg) use.
gollark: It kind of conflicts with varargs, but you know.
gollark: (Auto)currying, that is.
