Nope. But I can kill plants with the best of them.

Hi, In that numismatic artwork, please realize the plant parts were not drawn to comparative scale, and are stylized. At the bottom, tied up in the basal ribbon, are leaves of tobacco, facing outwards, much reduced in size, with a nodding flower cluster of the tobacco plant alongside. Next shown upwards are mature heads of wheat, two on each side. Just above that are young ears of corn, one on each side. Everything above that is cotton, 3 leaves on each side, with two nodding flowerbuds, and finally what must be two facing open flowers at pollination time, surrounded by petals although those towards us have been removed, showing only petals top and bottom. Usually the flower clusters of tobacco and the buds of cotton are not nodding, not facing downwards, but they were drawn that way.
Evidently the OP ms70 intended to send me a PM, but rather posted it to the entire forum. Only by chance did I happen to notice it.
I planted 11 tulip bulbs today. 5 inches deep. So, yes...

I always really thought I was. Until I confused the Roundup for the Miracle Grow.
yellow and green is a nice color for lawns
I wish I could have been more help.

I literally was about to post that. You stole my line! So you must have stayed at a Holiday Inn last night!

Fortunately I created a new topic because until now I didn't know about you. Glad you showed up and thanks for the response!

I'm missing the linkage to something coin related......

I ate a salad today, does that count?
Link to related thread on first post....asking to ID the foliage on a coin. Not surprisingly (hello internet) the thread has wandered a bit. And, now I'm hungry and sad that I ate the last persimmon of the season yesterday.
I was able to grow potatoes on Mars....or maybe I just saw that somewhere.
Worse! A ...bonsai-ist.
I love the organics Displayed here, and am excited to hear @botanist explanation of the arrangement on the reverse of these coins. Great description! Here is one of my higher grade examples of which I finally know what is being depicted in the wreath
I think this is proof like so maybe I should resubmit it now.
