Strange shapes light up the sky

Let the record show that none of us at the Riddled Research Institute has experimented with creating buds with artificial light. Especially not GroLux tubes.

This why we are not being published in Proc R Soc B:

Disappointingly, ffrench-Constant et al. fail to cite the pioneering speculations of Joyce, J. (1920):

But as Hugh Kenner reported, Joyce's characters were in turn inspired by (and failed to cite) an article on page 1 of the Dublin Evening Telegraph of Bloomsday (June 16, 1904) on "queer things which happen to flowers when they are exposed to the electric light". So we can hardly condemn ffrench-Constant et al. Such is the low state of scholarship in the our fallen academic world today.
