Lady Vorkosigan's collections of garden designs become
*the* textbooks for landscape designers, but don't get
a wide readership beyond that.  However, they become
legendary.  Just as a copy of Grey's 'Anatomy' is the
unspoken marker of the serious medical student, a copy
of Lady Vorkosigan's 'Barrayar's Flora' on the shelf
is the indicator of a true gardener.

I don't think Ekaterin would be good at writing
fiction, somehow.

Yes!

Textev has that the ToI is romanticised, so we
doubtless have all the permutations of literature
thereof.  Miles mentions in 'Komarr' how his
fascination with the story of an historical military
figure of the period led to his own career, and it's
implied strongly that he is not alone.

I believe in dragons, unicorns, good men
and other mythical creatures.
