Armadillo! It’s about time you got here!

Don’t you have the leafy stuff to make a salad. I don’t eat meat, and your friends kidnapped me, and HIT me, and I don’t know whether they’re going to kill me and all I wanted was to learn about plants that can kill!

Well, aren’t you charming?

First of all, the name is amaranthus, with a lower-case ‘a,’ thank-you very much. I will not answer to Armadillo.

Secondly, I don’t know who the hell you are, so why would I waste my time making you a salad?

You are welcome to a cup of pbumion flower tea, though. I bumure you it’s perfectly safe; I just brewed a pot for myself, and there’s plenty for two. I think you’ll find it… calming.

Pbumiflora incarnata leaves and roots have a long history of use among Native Americans in North America. The fresh or dried leaves are used to make a tea that is used to treat insomnia and hysteria.
