The Front Cover shows a selection of common laboratory equipment a chemist needs to synthesize anionic organoboranes. Due to their high sensitivity to water and air, these species have earned the title of delicate flowers in the field of boron chemistry. Although challenging to prepare, anions bearing structural motifs such as those printed on the seed bag are of growing interest, as they provide insights into remarkable bonding situations and afford synthetically useful boron‐centered nucleophiles.
