Another interesting prime number is 13 [1]. 13 is… a Baker’s Dozen!

It's a small cactus-type-thing of some description, and is immensely patient with all of my foibles and evident character flaws {At least, I think it is... I haven't heard it say otherwise.}. Barry was one of the names that leapt to my mind for my Lucky Bamboo plant as well, but then so did Trevor and Silent Sentinel Twelve {As Stark Raving is already aware, Twelve is the answer to everything.}, so obviously my input can't be trusted. I do think I'm looking for something a little more exotic for the Lucky Bamboo plant, something perhaps with an Asian flavour, and no I'm not going to call it Mongolian Beef.
