Re: Devil's was OT Cat Advice

I know it's bugleweed; that's the only way I was able to figure out he was talking about Ajuga.

Ajuga is Bugleweed. Perhaps the n was just a personal error. I have a very horticulturally knowledgeable friend who insists that Elderberry is Sambuncus. 
Beats me why he added Indiana to it; it's native to Eurasia.

The best name I've heard yet in the nursery is "Indiana Bungle Weed." Don't ask me why, but I figured out the man wanted Ajuga!

FWIW, common names are issues, so no lecture needed.

But what I have found,
seems common names by area location are not as problematic as using them in something like this list. If all you are selling to is neighborhood folks, most grew up knowing that same common name...which doesn't imply that the 
'real' name shouldn't also be listed on the tag.

JMHO

Yes, common names again.  When we sold the Kalanchoe I used the
name Devil's
Backbone becuase there were several plants using the Mother of
Thousands
name, including 4 different genera on RHS (though RHS does not
include any
Kalanchoe as one of them)

RHS shows 3 common names for Kalanchoe
diagremontiana :
MEXICAN HAT PLANT;  DEVIL'S BACKBONE;  FLOPPER
And for
Devil's Backbone they show Kalanchoe diagremontiana and the
previously
mentioned Pedilanthus tithymaloides.

I always try to select a common name
that reduces confusion.

So I had to look that up just to be sure. Kalanchoe diagremontiana

is

what we call "Mother of Thousands".

Didn't know Aralia spinosa, so I looked it up. I'm guessing it's  called



"devil's walking stick" because the stems have thorns? Unlike  Harry



Lauder's WS, the stems seem straight.

Asidem: We have a succulent here

[Pedilanthus tithymaloides] called

"devil's backbone." Devil seems to be

a popular plant modifier. In  the

case of our succulent, however, it's

likely related to the  crookedness

of the stems rather than to a presence

of thorns.

No matter. What's the charm of the A. spinosa, Zem--other than

it's

just kind of a neat/odd looking plant?

Wow!  I can't imagine

that.  I think my max is 4, I have 3  currently

and I think 2 is ideal.

Thanks for the

I was hoping that

your cat would reappear today. I'm sorry.

Years ago I had a friend who kept her cat on a long tether.

One

day Arnold (the cat) climbed a tree, tangled the tether and

hanged

himself. Make sure you don't have any trees in Diesel's  area

when

you get him fixed up.  BTW, I brought Sweet Pea in  tonight

since

Francesca has never appeared all day long.  I  have way too

many

animals in my house, but I just can't justify  "feeding" them

to

the coyotes.
