20 years ago or so....when I took it into my head to garden, I started off with 
studying Herbal Medicine...and read every book I could on the subject....and 
then proceeded to dig plants from the wild whenever I could and replant them to 
my yard. After a year or two, I discovered that many of the plants, I was 
studying and transplanting, were Native Plants, and so I started focusing on 
them. But during this whole time, I always focused on reading the Botanical 
names of plants, and for the most part ignored the common names, as many plants 
with wide areas of growing, had multiple names, and I was a bit egocentric to 
have to learn all of those names, so the botanical name was easier.  The place 
I've worked to for now 19 years emphasizes botanical over common names and that 
helped quite a bit.

Well off to a Horticultural Discussion at a Nursery concerning Native vs. Non 
Native....

BTW...the Nursery I work for is ...

www.plainviewfarm.net

We DO NOT do mail order, and are a rather small nursery....
