Thanks galvo.

This is a botanical question and you might have to go into the kitchen or garden to investigate.

The leaves of plants grow from the stem and they follow a certain path as they grow.
What is the shape of this path called?
Have a look at a lettuce or a cabbage for example and observe
how the growth pattern of the leaves come out from the stem.

I thought I would just give you a hint.
The geometric shape of the path you would also see
when looking at a snail-shell
and it is also very common in decorative ironwork.

A snail or nautilus would be a spiral.

Well done, YlGuy, yes it is a spiral path.

It is really interesting that as the leaves grow around the stem
they follow a spiral pattern and I believe this is nature's
most economical way of growing.

Over to you...

A young friend informs me that it is 'Gordon Freeman'. She then went on to try and explain the whole thing to me and my mind became fuddled.

Correct - you're up!  :thumbup;

When a person dies, hearing is generally the last sense to go. The first sense lost is usually sight. Then follows taste, smell, and touch.

Thank you, Karol.

My question is this:

Who was responsible for popularizing the Scottish Highlander’s apparel?
After which grew a huge market for kilts, sporrans, the dirk, gartered socks,
and no end of other Clan-related items ?

Sorry YLGuy,

the person I am talking about popularized the Highland apparel
in the early part of the 1800's and I give you another clue,
he wrote some very good books.

Sorry, galvo, it is not Robert Louis Stevenson.

I give you another clue: the mentioning of Mel Gibson came very close.
