“And why take ye thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they
spin".
Biblical exegesis tells me that the "lilies" referred to here are almost certainly plants of the genus Ranunculaceae. Mostly poisonous, often deemed weeds; we call them buttercups.
Tomorrow, I shall take no thought for raiment. Toiling and spinning? Let's see.
