Mostly I call them how I think of them. If a common name is pretty much universal it doesn't matter. On the other hand, 'yellow bells' might mean Forsythia to you, Allamanda in Florida and Esperanza (Tecoma stans) to someone in the SW. If a plant is uncommon it is nice to give both names. In the all over scheme of things, call it what you can remember.<br /><br />Frost is coming soon, even here. If it barely gets to 32, you may be able to get a bouquet of the hardiest ones tomorrow.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-8171927506598668992011-10-19T20:41:18.783-05:002011-10-19T20:41:18.783-05:00Sue, maybe the frost will hold off again?

I kinda get bored with the botanical names myself, love to hear the common names of flowers because not everyone calls them the same name.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-9439057914922138532011-10-19T19:09:58.621-05:002011-10-19T19:09:58.621-05:00Thanks for the comments.

I suppose tonight will be the freeze, as it is supposed to get down to 30 F. tonight.<br /><br />I went back and labled the rest of the flowers today. The one Jill is asking about may be the short toothed mountain mint. That's a great plant, as long as you are willing to go out in the spring and pull up the fallen down stems so they won't take root and spread too far.<br /><br />Becca, I use compost in the spring, and occasionally put an organic food like worm castings, also in the spring, then let them do their thing. I do tend to not let the flowers get dry for any length of time, though. I am hoping to turn the sprinkler head in the front area off once the native plants there get established.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-7969111886835026182011-10-19T18:04:25.460-05:002011-10-19T18:04:25.460-05:00Hi Sue,
