In the nursery industry it is not usual for anyone to refer to a plant by its Common Name. One of the reasons is that the same Common Name is sometimes given to more than one plant and often refers to a whole genus of plants. It is rather like the nicknames given to you by your friends, the inner circle knows just who is meant by a name but the world at large has no idea. Here we have listed some of the names that you might encounter, however many of these plants will not be handled by our nursery. Page one of three. For Page two (I to R), click here.
