Pussypaws (Cistanthe monosperma)
Sure, you're tough, but could you grow in a place like this? What else can Pussypaws handle that we can't? Are they patiently waiting for humanity to atom-bomb itself out of existence so they can rise up and rule the world, reshaping it into a kinder, gentler, and pinker place? And should we take the necessary steps to prevent this nightmare scenario, such as wiping out every last Pussypaws while we're still around to do it?
