💻 Easy Latin: unlocking plant names - why scientific names matter and how to decode them

• ✔️ Plants need scientific names (or Latin names) to keep things clear and avoid confusion. Common names can vary from place to place, and one name might refer to different plants.
• ✔️ A scientific name is like a plant's social security number - it's unique and makes sure everyone knows exactly which plant you're talking about. For example, if you say "Trumpet tree," you could be talking about Brugmansia, Tabebuia, Oroxylum, or even Dolichandrone. With a scientific name, there's no guessing! It's the perfect plant ID to keep things simple and precise.
• ✔️ So, if you're looking for a specific plant to add to your wishlist, be sure to find its scientific name first - that way, you'll be sure to get the right plant!

🛠 Examples of Latin names and their meanings:

🍋 Citrus sinensis – "Citrus" is the genus for citrus fruits, and "sinensis" means "from China," indicating the origin of the sweet orange.

🌸 Plumeria rubra – "Plumeria" is named after French botanist Charles Plumier, and "rubra" means "red," referring to its flower color.

🍁 Acer palmatum – "Acer" means "sharp," referring to the sharp-pointed leaves, and "palmatum" means "hand-shaped," referring to the leaf's shape.

By understanding the Latin names and their meanings, you can learn about a plant's origins, growth habits, and other key traits!

🏡 How to turn an ugly fence into a Perfume Fence

🍖 Your fence could smell better than your neighbor’s grill!

• 📌Got a plain or ugly fence? Just cover it up! We did just that and created a Perfume Fence.
• 📌First, we planted Hawaiian Plumeria trees along the fence line. Then we added vining jasmines to climb the wire fence and smother it in flowers. Each jasmine has its own fragrance - some sweet, some rich, some spicy - and together they make the whole fence smell incredible!
• 📌Soon the wire won’t even show - just a living wall of blossoms and perfume drifting through the garden.

Here are some of the best plants you can use to make your own fragrant fence:
