I was thinking that breeding a variety could be amusing. Mandragora
officinalis "Cotton Mather" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Okay, I think it's must be the wrong time of the day, my brain cannot
extract the humour from this, please elucidate !, cor big words too. My
brain aches now !

Mandragora is a "witch plant". Cotton Mather was the most notorious
of the witch hunters in New England, and his name is a byword for
the evils of extremist dogmatism.

All right, it's probably amusing only to a few people ....
