There we have it, the four genders of 1995. Code from the Microsoft Bob SDK! :)

A week in painting -- these are all done on paper mache filled with seeds, the idea being that you plant the painting so it can fade, dissolve, sprout, and eventually blossom. These contain forget-me-not, hollyhock, and poppy seeds.
