How To Identify Plants At The Santa Rosa Plateau: Plant Names
Latin names are not hard! They are just often unfamiliar to you.
Do you have any trouble with: Philodendron, Zinnia, Hosta, Liquidambar, Chrysanthemum, Camellia, Tyrannosaurus rex, Homo sapiens, Rhododendron, Impatiens, Dianthus?
Any gardener knows that the flowers in the Sunset Western Garden Book are organized by Latin names.
If you are learning the common name for a plant, you should spend a few more seconds to learn the Latin name.
