you've just deployed a
natural organic poison derived from chrysanthemums.
Rotenone is from derris elliptica aka rohten(japanese) and found in
some other legumes.
You mean pyrethrum. -- We grow painted daisies aka pyrethrum daisies
(Chrysanthemum coccineum).
Yes. The point Lawrence was trying to make is valid however. Just because
it comes from a plant doesn't mean it is safe or 'good' and just because it
comes from a factory doesn't mean it is unsafe or 'bad'.
Ah hell... that came out really wonky.
I wasn't going after Lawrence's point.
The idea before the neural meltdown was to -- put the correct labels on
the plants.
