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.
Poor Filomena, she was having such a hard time with English. To their credit no one tittered when she talked about the Balsam vignette on the salad, but I think had she mentioned the vinaigrette of the sea anemones on the wall we would have been unable to contain our mirth.,
Hi Sandra - I'd have said a literary vignette - Jessica Bell uses it ...but I see lots of alternatives, while David has given us a very good go - poor Filomena indeed. Interesting about Sea Anemones - that I hadn't realised. Cheers Hilary
I know this word and have used it! I see it, often, in my film books. I think I knew that anemone was part animal and part plant but I don’t remember…hahaaa
I just learned how to pronounce anemone the other day.
