Oddly enough, rice lover that I am, I have never tried that...<BR/><BR/>While I've no idea what the plural is, I do know that they get their name from the Latin word from which we get out word "calendar" because they can bloom in any month of the year.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm... I hope a wordsmith stops by and clarifies the plural question for us all! :)<BR/><BR/>Ciao! <BR/>TuiTui Snider @mentalmosaichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17158968186971091695noreply@blogger.com
