It's a shame that I haven't had enough time to blog for these months, though I have a couple of things to tell my friends on several experiences I had so far.

It does not appear to resemble a dog's tooth to me at all.

It does not resemble the violets I know. It reminded me a little of a miniature Cyclamen flower. I would not have known this plant was traditionally used to extract a starchy foodstuff for use in Japanese cooking, either! How interesting that potato flour is now used as a substitute. I know very little really about Japanese cooking and tend to associate it most readily with Sushi, which is all the rage here. I'd love to learn more about the dishes you traditionally make, Orchid!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.com
