I did mean endemic when I said it. + + + In that case you are even more confused than commonly thought. Firstly, endemic is relative to perspective. It is silly to say "Bellis perennis is endemic to the earth" unless you really are from outer space. The thing to say is "Bellis perennis is cosmopolitan". Actually a species can be endemic to, say, Arkansas but not to North America. Secondly, none of this applies to Trifolium pratense which is native here too. + + + Heavy metal deposits have nothing at all to do with climatic changes and cold hardiness. + + + Right, so why are you confusing them? Plant distribution is dynamic. Climate is dynamic. Heavy metal deposits are static. If a plant species is adapted to something within a given area it must be to something static. A plant species can be adapted to a particular climate but then will follow that climate about as it moves from place to place. + + + I hope to meet you some day too so that I can explain things to you in person. + + + Upon further reflection I guess there is no hope for you.

What's this? English lessons from a space alien?
Bellis perennis does very poorly in North America. It tends to die out during hot summers. No matter how you babble it, Rinkytink, "Red Clover" Trifolium pratense is not a European native. It was introduced into Europe. Of course, that was before your time. BTW, despite what you may think about the name, Trifolium lappaceum is not endemic to Lapland. The species epithet actually refers to the burr-like calyx. P van Rijckevorsel wrote in message ...

If it's not too much trouble, could you give me some kind of URL so I can go take a look at the types of clover you are referring to? + + + Also: (http://www.soedernet.de/herbarium/Pa...ns/bluete.html) |

Here I was assuming you made only one stupid error at a time, while I should have realized that there is no limit to the number of enormities you perpetrate. Not only is Trifolium pratense not "endemic" to North America, it is not native there. It is Eurasian and was introduced into North America from the UK. (http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/d...ense.html#Dist ribution) Sorry to have assumed that there was even a grain of reality in what you say. I am too good for this world: I am always seeing the best in people, even when it is not really there. PvR |

Geez, mate. Get a friggin' life! + + + Altough I am too lazy (/ busy) to do the work myself I must admit that the hypothesis of a monthly or seasonal cycle correlated with this crazy behaviour is intriguing. It might indeed be an actual illness (or other disorder) instead of just a shockingly short temper. However I am seeing too many people with a short temper to be really surprised at finding it anywhere. PvR |

Seems to me that I have been responding to monthly cycles from the likes of
holier-than-thou trolls like you Rinkytink and Gary Glitter. Someday we might meet and we can put your theories to the test? P van Rijckevorsel wrote in message ... Phred schreef Geez, mate.
