Saffron - rejected messages

Some internet watchdog programs are indeed unnecessarily sensitive. I
had to edit a message describing a garden in Istanbul because a New
Zealand library couldn't receive it as originally posted. One of the
trees mentioned was the black mulberry, Morus nigra.

I think it is mainly trees that are named with this offensive word:
Betula, Fraxinus, Juglans, Populus, Quercus,Salix, Sambucus, Pinus.
(oh, that reminds me - we had a problem with the last-named also). I
can't think of any bulbs considered black, so I guess we don't have
to resort to what Victorian books did - Ornithogalum n___.
