Have a quest. I'm hoping some of my friends "across the pond" can answer. I recently sent for the Thompson&Morgan catalog. I specified I wanted the U.S. version. I had a hard time i.d.ing some of the plants b/c of the differences in plant names- even the latin names were diff. I thought the names were "standardized" all over the world. Now, I know you have plants we don't grow here, but I thought {for ex.} a rose is rosa everywhere. Hope you guys don't think I'm one of those dumb yanks. Actually, I live in Georgia, so technically here in the U.S., I am def. not one. I am considered {by most folks here} to be a redneck and I'm proud of it. I know this is too long so I'll let you all go and get back to your tea!! hahaha!! Debbie
A DUMB "YANKEE" QUESTION
The botanical names should be the same. Rosa is Rosa world over
Do you have an example?
There are changes going on all the time.
Mark, I don't have the catalog right now, but I'll bring it in and peruse it again!!! Rose was prob. a poor choice, I couldn't recall any of the names. I'll be back on Tues. night with the info. I should have waited til I had the catalog in front of me-sorry!!!!
no problem. We'll be here
