Wellp, ya know, I have 2 ideas that may both work together, about where she got the idea to name the plants.

Seeing plants get labelled, wellp, labeling is naming them ya know. So she's gonna do it too.

The other thing is some smart persons started categorizing things, general to specific, and even decided to use latin names. But those dummies, they got to species and then barely subspecies, oh and then most folks named varieties, BUT THEN THEY STOPPED THERE!

Whatever for did they stop there? Ya mean this tomato plant can't be Harriet and this one George? Can't Lupe the Cantaloupe grow next to Sweety the Cantaloupe? This way you know one from the other. How can you tell one from the other if they don't have names. Besides, dumb old me, I don't even know the right names she named them!

Ava is absolutely right! Let's call the bigshots in charge at some royal horticultural academy of naming plants and find out why they ended at variety! We need to fix this problem!!!
You are right Marshall, I'll get on the phone first thing in the morning and get working on this. :cool:
