Harbingers

Harbinger: hahr-bin-jer. Anything that foreshadows a future event; omen; sign; herald: Baby daffodils are a harbinger of spring.
Apparently, I've been saying it wrong all these years.

  3. Also, there is nothing baby-ish about a plant in bloom. It's the plant's way of saying "I'm all grown up and ready for sex."

  5. All right then. Miniature daffodils. And do you have to bring sex into EVERYTHING?

  6. If it weren't for sex, the world would be a boring place. Sex is the second most important concept in biology.
