Garlic: Its Production and Use
http://www.sturmsoft.com/Writing/market_garden/clove-encounters.htm
Garlic is mysterious.

Associated with herbalists, witches, gourmet cooks, and with repelling vampires and werewolves, it has a long and fascinating history.

It is mysterious because most cultivars set no true seed, making hybridisation to create new varieties virtually impossible. It matures easily, further complicating genetic studies. Although it is a member of the onion family, garlic creates a number of small bulbs (called cloves), rather than growth rings. Also, it is more closely related to the leek than the onion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsophila
Gypsophila (Baby's-breath; Gypsophila [1] ) is a genus of about 100 species of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to Europe, Asia and north Africa. Many species are found on calcium-rich soils, including gypsum, whence the name of the genus. Some species are also sometimes called "baby's breath" or simply, "Gyp", among the floral industry. Its botanical name means "lover of chalk", which is accurate in describing the type of soil in which this plant grows.
