I try to use the botanical names of plants but really feel like a fool when
I try to pronounce one in front of someone who knows how it should be. There
seems to be no real rhyme or reason for the accent being placed on a certain
spot rather than some other. as in...li-RI-ope, instead of li-rop-e. Guess
we need to take some lessons in latin or is it Greek?  How about CLEM-a-tis,
instead of Clem-at-is.  Gets confusing sometimes. However, we don't mind
learning and this list is doing a good job of it. I enjoy it very much.
