Today’s topic:
What's in a name? Evergreen candytuft, Iberis sempervirens, is featured in today's photo. Evergreen, yes. But candytuft? Where did that name come from, and why? Do you have a favorite plant name? Which is the oddest? Which is the most fun to say? Which is the most descriptive?
My favorite botanical name to say is Liquidambar styraciflua.
ReplyDeleteFun to say, and a beautiful tree as well. Wish we could grow them here, too! Thanks for stopping by, Les.
