Summary: MNEMONIC EXPLAINED: When you see a Prickly Vase you see a plant that is hairy all over but has all that it needs to shave. It has the vase (shape of seedpod surrounding flowers) that’s full of water, a shaving brush (shape of flowers), lather-er (flower color usually lavender), razors (represent multiple wings along stem) and last but not least; there’s a shaving octopus inside the vase too. You watch in amazement as the octopus uncorks the shaving brush from within, it slowly crawls out, snaps some razors off the stem, lathers up the entire plant and begins to shave the plant from top to bottom. Now, as soon as the octopus reaches the bottom (represents bottom rosette of leaves), and the shaving is finished, you spear/knife/arrow (leaf lobes are spear shaped) the octopus for food and cook it with the plant.
