Re: Botanical & Common Names

Why?
The reason we are all here is to learn about a hobby, we are on the
internet not at the book store.  If this is only for professional than say
so.  I have really enjoyed hearing about what people are trying and doing,
even when they do not use Botanical Names or Their Common Name if you are
so dumb that you have to have the tecnical name or spell it right then I
must be smarter than I thought I was.  Because I want to learn no matter
what you call a plant.  I believed that was the meaning behind this e-mail
exchange.  It was my understanding it was for all ranges of people that
have the same commoned hobby.  If this is not true unscribe my e-mail
address please.
