Claire, I don't understand why you would question anyones name. I will over
look such a question and explain this name, however. This is an internet
name only. I live on Ceres Circle located on Ceres Lake and my garden is
Ceres Garden. Ceres is the goddess of agriculture. The development I live
in is a planned community developed by Pioneer Seed Corn (now owned by
DuPont) and living in the ag center of the world this seems quite appropiate
that a company deicated to ag would select such a name.
Ms.Plantcrone ??
Webster defines crone as 'a withered old woman'
