Dennis >Another Iris name that drives me nuts is Iris innominata. How could you resent an iris named "the unnamed iris"? and then there is Hyacinthoides non-scripta, which no one has written about. and the Orchid, Dracula vampira 'Bela Lugosi'. Botanists make sense--sure they do. And I pronounce every name properly, because I understand what I am saying. Ken
