A Deity Grows in Queens
Usually these stories involve the Virgin Mary on a piece of toast, but The Daily News is reporting that the Hindu god Ganesh has now appeared in a flower in Queens! They report that a 60-year-old "New York City man is convinced the elephant-headed god" has grown from his amaranth plant, blessing and healing him. Crazy right? But the Queens Botanical Garden is also mystified by the unusual appearance of the plant, saying they have "never seen an amaranth take an elephant-like shape ... the trunk-like formation is not a natural thing.''
