garden trivia


New York Aster, Aster novi-belgii

Novi-belgii is Linnaeus' attempt to translate New Amsterdam (now New York)
into Latin; the Belgii were the tribe encountered by Julius Caesar in the
Low Countries.

It's not a No play, but interesting nonetheless.  Anyone else with a tidbit
to share?
