Usually I don't even know the pronunciation and have to google the spelling but I like scientific names anyway. Usually. Would I use the scientific name for Celandine Poppy? No. <br /><br />I love Woodland Phlox and Celandine Poppy both. Bellwort too. I dug up some Bellwort from one of our sloughs and it still hasn't bloomed yet -- I think I have it in too dry of a location.

I've enjoyed it in so many gardens this year. It is lovely. <br /><br />I'm totally okay if you don't use Latin names, but I am one of those geeks that uses them more so than the common names so I do appreciate them. It comes easy to me for some reason, but I do understand when others roll their eyes when I start with the names so I try not to use them.

I never can think of many common names for one plant.<br /><br />Hi Cameron, it is because the lilacs are in bloom. Their scent is so powerful, nothing else registers.<br /><br />Hi Monica, a true gardener. The compost looks as beautiful as the blooms;)<br /><br />Kathleen, Celandine poppies are a native plant which has adapted to woodland settings. Actually it can take quite a bit of sun.<br /><br />Birdlady, thanks.<br /><br />Hi Jackie, I agree.

Neither offends me. I have tried to learn Botanical names just for the sake of it but if someone doesn't use it when posting, talking, whatever, it's fine. I do find Botanical names more helpful when it comes to searching out a particular plant tho. Great conversation starter Marnie. Also, I didn't realize poppies could grow in shade.
