I believe the concept of hot and cold colours arose when primitive
man discovered that things glowed red when hot, and that ice
looked blueish when reflecting the sky. Now some of us are a bit
less primitive and know that white hot is hotter than red hot etc,
the terms hot, warm, cool and cold are a ubiquitous relic.

I am slowly learning why D prolifera deserves its name!
