I see the "clumpers" have moved Belamcanda into Iris with others, but wait
and the "splitters" will be along soon to move them all out into their own
but different Genus. I thought science, the study of DNA etc, was going to
sort all this out but it seems to be getting worse.
Geraniums of GCs which have been Pelagoniums for a lifetime will be moved
back there soon.

It's getting to the point where there's almost no point in trying to
change labelling and keep up! On top of that, older customers who have
known a plant by one name for years and years, are utterly confused
when looking for it. Younger people who know it by the new name don't
know it by the old name and so it goes on.

Don't worry, it'll all be sorted out in a hundred years or so.

I am very bad at remembering plant names, I usually name them after where
they came from, the yellow plant I brought when we moved house or the pretty
rose that one of my girls gave me, that sort of thing. I know I am getting
older but it isn't just an age thing, I use tricks to remember :-) I hope
that I am not alone :-)
