It has been my motherr's complaint for years that she once knew the
name of every weed there is.... but all in German. Over the years
she's forgotten the German names, though she still knows what is good
for what.

She's very good on bird calls though. Her grandparents hadn't a clue
to bird names, so she had to figure them out on her own.
