As mentioned above, I tend to use what the company calls for.

My mother is still learning, so I'd rather not flood her head with
additional nonsense she doesn't need.

Latin comes in handy when someone asks for something by
it's common name. Moonflower. Well, half a dozen flowers are
called this depending on which part of the country one is from,
exactly which one are you looking for? :-)

The times I don't appreciate the Latin is when someone at
the local farmer's market is using them only to impress the crowd,
correcting others when they deem a word pronounced incorrectly.

For pete's sake, it's small town Oklahoma. People ask for
flowers by color. LOL.

I learned my botanical terms by reading the J.L. Hudson catalogs
word for word for a few years. Soon I remembered things and realized
the importance of the terms. At times.
