flower power

the official ynotj flower is under attack! this surely falls under the ridiculous - if not the truly frightening. really, who knew a little fragrant flower wielded so much power?  the ironic thing (okay, not so ironic) is that they are blooming everywhere around town this month and the scent represents, to me, nothing but spring and warmth and peace. not at all the hint of revolt and revolution and resistance that is being unfairly thrust upon my little blooming namesake.
