[PLUG-TALK] Stamps - Digitalis and Linum

For the truly geeky:  The new "Vintage Seed Packets"
forever postage stamps include pictures of flowers
with vaguely FLOSS-related names:

Linum, Digitalis, Aster (like the Asterisk SIP
phone software), and Calendula (like Caligator).
Phlox is like the flex lexical analyzer, and also
the Apache Flex SDK for flash.  Pinks might be
what our Cherman friends use to find our IP 
addresses.

Cosmos relates to my Server Sky project, which
is open but mostly hardware.

I don't know what to do with Zinnias, Primrose,
and Alyssum.  You would think that with 430,000
projects on sourceforge, every noun and verb and
proper name would be used by now.

For those who sometimes bring haul out their quill
pen and parchment to produce a deadtreeware snail-
mail letter, you might purchase a sheet or two of
these stamps and impress your correspondents with
your übergeekitude.
