They are! Isn't that just delightful? I was at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens the other day and was overwhelmed by the fun names of some of the plants. Buttonbush. Bearberry Cotoneaster. Straw Foxglove. I was imagining the settlers who probably named them. Many of them are very simple, very English sounding.
