First off, at all times asparagus was grown as medicine rather than food. Especially for problems with the stomach and bladder, or as a general aphrodisiac.

I made a fan ! They’re Asparacada, an asparagus cicada. The gist of this one was I actually ate a cicada as a kid and thought it tasted like asparagus, so I decided to illustrate that with this.

43色め。春先のアスパラガスの若芽の様な明るく淡い黄緑色。アスパラの原産地はギリシア🇬🇷なんですって知らなんだ。日本には江戸時代になんと観賞用として輸入されたとか。ユリの仲間のアスパラは小さくて可憐な花をたくさん付ける。
