What are your favorite botanical names? What are some unusual ones?
I like [name]Violet[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Leaf[/name], [name]Briar[/name]

I like your choices! [name]Magnolia[/name] has been a favorite of mine for a while.

[name]Bryony[/name]
[name]Fleur[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Lilac[/name]
[name]PRIMROSE[/name]! New favorite!
[name]Zahara[/name] – I thought this word was something [name]Angelina[/name] [name]Jolie[/name] made up, pretty, but, well, made up. I was much more impressed when I learned it was Hebrew for flower!

I still like standards such as [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Rose[/name] too.
