A New York Journal report describes subterranean clover adapting to sheep predation by producing bloom heads near the ground and corkscrew inner flowers. Once seeds form with bee aid, the stem bends and the corkscrews burrow into soil to mature unseen, a feat likened to animal intelligence. A separate vignette notes a widow who cannot bear to play piano except on the black keys.
