Lesson VII - Labias Africanis
Today's lesson shall focus on the specific varietal sub-species, Labias Africanis. This flower, while spread worldwide today, originated on the African continent and it is generally believed that this is the original varietal from which all other Labia Confoundidpuss have evolved. While no longer the predominant specie on the planet, it is found throughout the world today. This richly colored varietal is usually identifiable by visual inspection alone, however enough cross breeding with other varietals has occurred over the centuries, that many may be confused with any flower exposed to large amounts of direct sunlight, South Asian varietals, and a uniquely evolved subspecies that was indigenous to the Australian continent. Generally speaking the plant is of more substantial build than other varietals, tolerates full sun without detrimental effect, and within the developed world, frequently possesses a substantial level of attitude, though this propensity toward high temperament is more prevalent within large urban settings. The plant is legendary for it's fullness toward the backside of the plant. This fullness and the rich color of the flower itself, have made the varietal a particular interest to many growers who's level of interest borders on fetish. For reasons not fully understood in today's society, crossbreeding of this flower was once considered taboo by high society growers, but that attitude is largely changed around the globe and it may co-habitate with all other varietals today with little public resistance. And while I know it's probably ringing hollow by this time, I must reiterate, ALL LABIAS are individual, rules were meant to be broken, and logic shall always be defied.
We start with a peek at a well trimmed specimen.
