Prince

  • Ever since they were seedlings, the crew had been trained to wow visitors with the old "Deep Purple" R&B song originally sung by Nino and April, not that "Purple Rain" stuff that came later . . .

Identity Crisis

The girls decided that they were facing an identity crisis– they weren’t blue enough to be left wing or red enough to be right wing, they didn’t like the “Rhino” tag at all or being associated with a children’s program’s  squishy, fuzzy dinosaur, and they weren’t interested in promoting the Prince “Purple Rain” CD.  Maybe they could start a reality show and be the Kardashians of the flower world–famous for being famous . . .

Purple Rain

When Lila asked her mother “Why are we purple?” her mother looked thoughtful for a minute and then said, “Lila, I think you are old enough to hear the truth, but you must keep it in the family.  Many years ago, back in the beginning, there came a very special man called “Prince” who told the world about Purple Rain. This special purple rain only falls on a select few in the world, giving us our beauty.  This was back near the beginning of the world, around 1984″. . . . . .  David, Sf.G.
