    Gerald never went anywhere without the plant that he found in the meteorite. Because it had grown into his brain.

    /// Rubens Peale poses with a Geranium,

    in a pot made of pitchblende (uranium).

    The plant, radioactive,

    must find Rubens attractive,

    for its tendrils are piercing his cranium.

    His experiments were frighteningly successful, given that this had started as a lichen, and there was no soil in the pot.

    Quite popular amongst all local lasses / Is this young botanist (in spite of his glasses). / You see, they all knew / That in his greenhouse he grew / Not just flowers, but a variety of premium “grasses.”

    The plant was a lifesaver. He had just cut his throat to end it all – when she smiled at him ! Thinking quickly, he wrapped a bedsheet around his profusely bleeding neck, and got on with the business of living. Nuthin breaks the monotony like a suicide with botany in the mor-ornin’.

    A morose and myopic young man / Keeps a plant firmly fixed with his hand / For fear it be looted / His fingers are well rooted / In the pot with the vine wedding band.

    The court ruled that while interspecies marriage within the same kingdom could be proscribed, interkingdom marriage could not, so florality could not be banned.

    Rubens Peale with a Geranium

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "File:Rubens_Peale_with_a_Geranium.jpg" site=commons.wikimedia.org 

    (again, syntax supported by the Google and Yandex search engines) in the address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines), and click on the first File: found for info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2900 (March 23, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here.

     

    According to the museum where this resides, the depicted “exotic” plant was the first of its kind in the US.

    Sorry, folks! Something has apparently gone sideways with the FTP site I use to upload the comics and I can’t get today’s installment to appear. I’ve written to the authorities, so hopefully they can help. In the meantime, please continue to enjoy this lovely geranium.
