hey, wouldn't it be fun if it was a mystery game - and you didn't know what
plants you got until the very end, after filling in all the functions you
needed satisfied?

and then voila - your mystery garden reveals itself!

what can I say, I make toys...

I agree. As far as the PIW project is concerned the scientific name of
a plant is only relevant once someone wants to order the plant from a
nursery. Until then, people will be searching on form and function to
identify the plant or group of plants they want to use.

Common names are even more useless!
