It is all very well to identify flora by their Latin names, but to a lay person like me it makes a lot of sense to know the English common names. To convey the identity of a particular flower if I say "this is nasturtium" rather than "this is Tropaeolum majus" it makes a whole lot more sense to the lay world, particularly when we are talking about "taking knowledge to the masses". Vernacular names are a great help if one can provide the names in most of the major Indian languages. I do not intend to spoil your fun, but just think about the situation. Regards.
