  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Those are so good. I have a question, though. Anyone know why some of these have a secondary band that reads "Rose of Sharon" and some "The Thorn?" I have no actual information, but my guess is that they thought calling the RoS lancero The Thorn was clever, until they realized people were confusing it with the Firethorn, and ditched it. Or maybe it's new stock vs. old stock or something? To illustrate:

From two separate fivers, purchased within a couple weeks of each other from the same retailer. The first purchase had the Thorn band. Just noticing now the primary band is bigger on the more recent one, too.
