Lawrence Winters found it even funnier. "Tearose is tearose, Other Shore Flower is Other Shore Flower, don't mix them up."
She pointed out the window and went on, "Later research shows that the Other Shore Flower is actually Lycoris radiata, commonly called Red Spider Lily, a species in the amaryllis family. Don't think that just because it's got some lofty name like 'Other Shore Flower,' it's actually from the other shore. Go check what lycoris flowers are like—they bloom in dark, shadowy places, have no scent, and their bulbs are poisonous. They're a completely different thing from the beautiful tearoses we have here!"
Mr. Zhuge chuckled and said mildly, "…We're talking about flower names in metaphysics here. Daoist Lawrence, you're so good at doing academic work—how come you ended up cultivating the Dao?"
