NO way! Is what yer sayin', but N and O are short leetle ingredients, and besides, spring is Nigh. the sNOw is going away! YES! So please just mix it up, N's or Os or first Ns and then Os, or Os then Ns. As you like it.

I will start us off with a Nelly Moser Clematis

Between you and JMorth, you could probably make an entire soup made only from Narcissus and Hemerocallis!

Few "N"
Rambutan, (meaning; hairy fruit) one of favorite fruit in my area.

Loves these little thing, but failed to grow them it in tropic

Lotus can even be grown in container, I adore both blooms and seedpod, and of-course the crispy tuber


Few "O"
Cat whisker is very useful herb for urinary tract problem, especially at night on urgency, few leaves steep in hot water, drink, within 15 minutes start to work, the effect is very relieving.... can't live without this one (especially if you are in rural tropic), and butterflies loves them too.

The non variegated is a vegetable, easily grown in shallow water or container, not sure if the "flamingo" variegated cultivar is edible or not

Mickey-mouse plant is interesting for their fruit

@tofitropic, yes, the HBMoths were shot around dusk. Nicotianas are purposely grown in the garden to attract HBM's.
Thumb of 2018-03-16/jmorth/0fff54 < set up to capture pics of HBM
at dusk, I can relax in the chair with a cold drink and wait for the HBM to come to me. Set up is behind the garage on a concrete slab surrounded on 2 sides by Flowering Tobacco.

There's also a lot of lilies, which HBM's like too, in that vicinity,
