Plant named Zanymuse

My dear, sweet, little 80 year old friend was potting up a lot of "tree geranium" seedlings from her yard for the May plant sale. She asked me to help her find the correct name for the plants, so I looked around on DG and found a thread about Malvacea-Lavatera arborea 'Variegata' with a picture. I copied the thread and gave it to my friend, never thinking that she doesn't have a computer so doesn't know about forums. When I arrived late for the plant sale, only a couple of "tree geraniums" were left and I about died when I read the lables: Zanymuse, 3-5 ft, lavender flowers. I didn't have the heart to tell her that Zanymuse was the person writing about the plant. So, Zanymuse, you could become famous around here.

That's a great story, Lucy. Watch out, Miss Wilmott - here comes Zanymuse, LOL!

It couldn't be named after a better example of a dear sweet person than Zany. Can we call it Zany for short or maybe just the Z plant. I sure am glad to know some one famous. I saw a person with a superman S tattoo today. Maybe we should all get a Z tattoo. Of course it would have to be one that is removable. Can't you see all our kids and grandkids coming from Walmarts with the Z TATTOO KIT. Jim

Too cute! Dee

ROFLOL! And to think I had to post it on the Identification forum to find out what it was! LOL I should have known that one!

Thank you for that Lucy I am still chuckleing! So if you feel the earth trembling it is just me laughing!

Oh Lucy, I am rolling too. Thank you so much for sharing that. Can't wait to see people trading Zanymuse in the future. LOL

When I buy a new plant I go online and see what I can find out about it. Can you imagine the frustration when they type in Zanymuse and are refered to my now defunct home page or to a thread here! I tried it for laughs and came up with a whole lot of links to DG! So at least they will reach a garden site!

What a cute story. Everyone is going to want the Zanymuse plant now.......how wonderful. Zany, famous in your own way.
You're a blossom in my book.

thanks for posting that story! I couldn't think of a better name for a plant..where might I get one???!

I want tooo, I want a Zanymuse, I do, I do!!!!
