Why do they call foliage the bloom of the day. Rhetorical question so no sense in answering it.

They should have a random foliage plant of the day or at least name this the random bloom or foliage of the day.

Maybe in reference: http://davesgarden.com/guides/terms/go/96.html
Bloom:
1. A showy floral display put on by a plant in hopes of wooing a pollinator to it.
2. A waxy, white or bluish white coating on a stem, leaf, or fruit.

Yet it isn't

#1 - Floral

and probably stretching

#2 as I don't see Iron Cross begonia as being waxy

I was actually just joking. You have a point.
