HELLO! wavey
I don't know where to post this thread...so hoping "Organically Speaking" is okay???
Was wondering if anyone out there had any ideas for sites that help you pronounce plant names correctly. I have had some experience with Latin, but not enough to be well versed. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! grinnnn

Thanks so much for the Help Loz and Melcon6...I am not a "stickler" for botanical names...but I find it much easier to get the plant I want when ordering if I know the Proper Latin name....Thanks again for the quick response!!! This will help so much!!! wavey wavey
