I must have been using the word vignette wrong all these years. I thought it was a group of similar items combined together in a single photo.

And I did know about the sea anemone at one time, but apparently forgot about it until you pointed it out.

Vignette is a lovely word isn't it? I like that sea anenomes straddle the divide between plant and animal. I wonder whether pitcher plants do too.

Anecdote as an alternative to vignette I suppose, but it's not quite the same.
