Germander shares her name with the wildflower Germander Speedwell (scientific name Veronica chamaedrys), this species being probably the boldest and brightest of UK-occurring Speedwells.
While found in many of the same habitats and sharing the same blue colouring, Germander (Homo sapiens speedwelli) is easily distinguished from her botanical counterpart by her greater length of stem and many layers of fine black petals (though in winter frequently obscured by millinery).
Spoken-worder, wayward walker,
nomenclature collector and terminology assembler
Germander Speedwell's principal pursuit is to collect curious language from overlooked or unexpected subjects, and arrange it into tongue-twisting spoken word pieces that are packed with plosives and littered with alliteration, that resound with assonance, slither with sibilance and wriggle with rhythm. Germander also dabbles in tangents of geographical exploration, architectural decoration, Thames observation, floral identification and nautical notation.
It was upon retrieving the plastic excalibur from the Regents Canal
that Germander was granted the ancient right to meddle with her words.
