It’s no surprise with Spring officially underway that I have become mega obsessed with floral/plant names. I have a few on my list currently, but I really only see a select few circling about. What are some underrated or obscure flower, plant, or tree names that you have heard of or what are a few that you would like to see gain more popularity?

I’ve always thought that [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] was just delightful! And, more recently, I’ve been adoring [name_f]Daffodil[/name_f]! Then there are [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilac[/name_f], which are just so springy and perfect. And last, but certainly not least, is darling [name_u]Florence[/name_u]. I know she’s supposedly quite popular, but I’ve never met a [name_u]Florence[/name_u] or even met someone who knew one. She’s in my top names!
(As a little bonus, I also consider [name_f]Alice[/name_f] a springy, somewhat floral name, because in Wonderland, the flowers in the garden call [name_f]Alice[/name_f] a flower herself.

I first heard of the name [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] from a novel I read when I was much younger. I forget what it was called. I named my hamster [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] after that until I realized it was a boy!
