Pearls are important in Chinese mythology and in mysticial Taoism, where they are associated with dragons. For instance, "The Pearl in the Mouth of the Dragon" is the name of an ancient variety of Chinese garden rose in which the dark red flowers display a small white center when fully opened. Since the Chinese dragon is thought by some scholars to be a mythiciicized transformation of the very rare (almost extint) Chinese Alligator, the pearls in question would have been fresh water pearls. Ask Joel about that. I'm gonna go cook dinner now: tamales, hard-boiled eggs, and broccoli. cat yronwode
