2001. The name is a diminutive

Boerke is a Flemish cartoon character created by Pieter De Poortere in 2001. The name is a diminutive of boer and so means \"little farmer\" in Dutch. He has been translated into other languages such as French where he is known as Dickie. The character is a farmer but is often shown in other costumes and settings as an anti-hero. The comic strips are typically visual jokes with no text.

Nabalus albus, the white rattlesnake-root, also known as Boott's rattlesnake-root or white lettuce, is a plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Canada and the Eastern United States. Details of the flower heads are needed to separate this species from others in the rattlesnake-root genus (Nabalus). The Iroquois applied a poultice of the roots of white rattlesnake root to rattlesnake bites. It can be found growing in forests, woodlands, and anthropogenic habitats. The flower head has ray flowers only, meaning all of the individual flowers of the flower head have a strap-shaped ray, which may or may not have teeth at the very tip of the ray. The colors vary from blue to purple, pink to red, or white. The leaf blade length can be between 40 and 300 mm. while the flower head width can be 3 to 5 mm. Blooms from July to September in Missouri. In 2010 it was reclassified from the genus Prenanthes to Nabalus.
