I usually use proper names for plants. Occasionally when I Google a plant name I will get a website of little sea creatures, or some flying insects. I think some of these names were fritillaria and reticulata. When I look at bird lists, there are wonderful common names: Golden Spangled Whatevers, Northern Beardless-Tyrannulets. Do bird watchers ever use scientific names, or is it just us plant folks? Diane Whitehead
