玩玩
Because I was making soup the other day, have some Chinese names for (mostly Western) kitchen herbs and (mostly Chinese) ones. There are a few glitches in the hanzi and pinyin in the first link, but they look okay on the whole? Interesting to notice what a huge range 桂 covers in all its variations, from 桂花, my favorite osmanthus flowers, through 月桂 laurel and 肉桂 cinnamon and goodness knows what else.

咱们明天会庆祝一周年,一直好好学习好好生活吧!

"肉桂 cinnamon"

I've got another cursed contribution, sorry: 多肉 (or more completely 多肉植物) for succulents (the plants)

Oh no. Wow. XD

I guess if I try to think of 肉 as "flesh" rather than "meat," succulents are definitely very fleshy. I'd still rather not actually think about them that way, though...
