For some reason, YL, Semm and I have started a discussion on Rapunzel. After debating balding and the foundations of tower-building, we came to Rapunzel's name. My mom said that Rapunzel was a flower - this pink lily. (Dreamspot, one of my deviations, has the flower in it.) However, I still insist on my theory that Rapunzel is a cabbage.
As the story goes, Rapunzel's father stole cabbages, and the witch named her after the cabbages her father stole!! Therefore, a rapunzel is a cabbage! :D
I distinctly recall thinking how unglorious Rapunzel's name was, all those years back then. So I doubt that I'm mistaken in the Rapunzel-cabbage aspect, h
