Re: Phlox
in reply to a message by guru
Eh. It was the name of the good-natured alien doctor from Enterprise. Granted, not everyone is going to make such a geeky association, but it makes it feels more sci-fi than botanical to me. I do also think of Christmas tree flocking. That's naturey. Somewhat. There's also bagels and lox. I'll stop now since this free association thing I'm doing is only making me like Phlox less.

Ha! Dr. Phlox was also my first thought.

HA. Star Trek was also the first thing I thought of, as I knew there was a character with that name. I agree. It also sounds like a vaccination or medication to me.

Bagels and lox would make me like Phlox MORE. That's my favorite breakfast.

*swallows hard*I had the misfortune of eating lox at the wrong time--the very early something's-wrong-but-I-don't-know-what stage of a horrible stomach virus. I'll never eat it again. On the positive side, Phlox has now brought me around to Fox in Socks. Phlox in socks...kinda cute.
