I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga, but an interesting piece I stumbled upon this morning.

The new varieties of fern have been named Gaga germanotta, which honours the singer's family name, and Gaga monstraparva - which translates to mean "monster-little", in honour of her fans who are known as Little Monsters - among other titles.

The fern - which was discovered in Arizona, Texas and Mexico as well as Central and South America - was also named after the 'Paparazzi' hitmaker because her songs are "enormously empowering".
