Hi Jim and all,

Thanks for all the nomenclature info.  Had a big laugh over your humorous
review of the Lily show!  As a novice grower and collector I have
experienced first hand confusion over info. when asking questions about
plant names.  Even from books and magazines!

>From country to country names differ also and it is great to find out the
proper names of plants worldwide (although I must confess I generally use
the common names as other people tend to recognize them more easily).

Next time I get stuck I know where to go to get the correct info!  Still
only learning and finding info. more fascinating every day.

Regards

P.S.  I don't mind if anyone corrects me as I am keen to learn and expand my
knowledge.
Just please excuse any questions that may appear to be really silly!
