Ann, as for the names – I’m sorry the post disappointed you so much. The intent was certainly not to make any statement about intelligence.

What do they mean by “purple sage” anyway? Can we be a little more specific here…are we so dumbed-down that we can’t handle latin names anymore?

Tillandsia don’t need much liquid water but, for the most part they do require very high humidity and are not be xeric.

While the plant labeled red bird of paradise, is in fact called that, it is a common name used by at least two other non-related plant species. It is usually sold as pride of Barbados.

The poppies shown are not California poppies but are oriental poppies, which are a different species.

Again, I know I am being annoying but yeah….. sorry.
