      Also ginger.

      And technically wormwood too, although that’s more you drinking water that is soaked into wood.

        Ginger is a root, maybe you’re thinking of something else?

            So is a potato wood? A carrot?

            Ginger is not a tree. It’s a flowering plant.

              A potato is not a flowering plant it’s a tuba, such as an onion. Totally different thing entirely to a bit of wood attached to a tree.

                And potato is a tuber but an onion is not. Both are flowering plants. So is ginger.

                Ginger has nothing to do with ‘a bit of wood attached to a tree’ which is exactly my point.

                Potato plants absolutely have flowers. Have you ever grown one? Be careful with the potato flowers and fruits. They are poisonous nightshade.

        I stand corrected on that one. I assumed it was sumac bark, and you know what they say about assumption. It makes an ass out of u and mption.

        The bit about powdered sumac (bark?) being a powerful dye for marble is pretty interesting. I wish there was an example photo.
