dancing delavayi, anagram: Aya, dancing devil
Podophyllum delavayi, now nicknamed Aya (though I don't think that
really takes the devil out of her), has been dancing since birth. Well,
almost since birth; she started out looking more like a clutch of half-submerged
brussels sprouts. First the emergence of the amazing leaves, toad-patterned parasols swaying to music, then the emergence of
amazing red flowers reminiscent of ballgowns. And another surprise underneath; her yellow petticoats fluttered when she kicked up her heels in the heat today.

Oh that's such a lovely patch-o-Aya. How long have you had it?
